I. Nishioka et al., Effect of map strength on polarization mode dispersion in dispersion-managed soliton systems, IEEE PHOTON, 12(11), 2000, pp. 1480-1482
Solitons in dispersion managed lines have large tolerance to polarization m
ode dispersion (PMD) because of strong nonlinear trap helped by a power enh
ancement factor compared with conventional solitons, We present numerical r
esults on the effect of map strength S on PMD and discuss the optimum choic
e of S in practical soliton systems.
