M. Wald et al., Interactions of dispersion-managed solitons in wavelength-division-multiplexed optical transmission lines, OPTICS LETT, 26(13), 2001, pp. 965-967
We investigate interactions between pulses in dispersion-managed multichann
el wavelength-division-multiplexed soliton systems, using an improved varia
tional approximation. The frequency shifts are found to be smallest for mod
erate, i.e., relatively short-scale, dispersion management. The position sh
ifts increase monotonically with map strength. (C) 2001 Optical Society of
