چکیده
We show analytically that tailoring the fiber dispersion appropriately can cause optical solitons to propagate unperturbed, without emission of dispersive waves, in a distributed-gain fiber amplifier with a nonuniform gain profile. We apply our scheme to a bidirectionally pumped fiber amplifier and discuss the importance of higher-order nonlinear and dispersive effects for short solitons.

Dispersion-managed solitons at normal average dispersion.
We find that in a dispersion-managed fiber, in which the strength of the dispersion management is above some threshold, solitons can exist with normal average dispersion. When the normal average dispersion is below some limiting value there exist two soliton solutions with the same pulse duration and different pulse energies. When the normal average dispersion is above this limiting value, no s...
متن کاملBound states of dispersion-managed solitons in a fiber laser at near zero dispersion.
We report on the observation of various bound states of dispersion-managed (DM) solitons in a passively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber ring laser at near zero net cavity group velocity dispersion (GVD). The generated DM solitons are characterized by their Gaussian-like spectral profile with no sidebands, which is distinct from those of the conventional solitons generated in fiber lasers with la...
متن کاملTiming jitter of ultrashort solitons in high-speed communication systems. I. General formulation and application to dispersion-decreasing fibers
By using adiabatic perturbation theory, we calculate the timing jitter generated by fluctuations in soliton amplitude, frequency, and position that are induced by the amplifiers noise in high-speed soliton communication systems. The analysis is applied to dispersion-tailored fibers which, in contrast with conventional constantdispersion fibers, allow ultrashort solitons (width , 10 ps) to propa...
متن کاملThirring solitons in the presence of dispersion
The effect of dispersion or diffraction on zero-velocity solitons is studied for the generalized massive Thirring model describing a nonlinear optical fiber with grating or parallel-coupled planar waveguides with misaligned axes. The Thirring solitons existing at zero dispersion/diffraction are shown numerically to be separated by a finite gap from three isolated soliton branches. Inside the ga...
متن کاملEffect of group-delay ripples on dispersion-managed soliton communication systems with chirped fiber gratings.
The effect of group-delay ripples in dispersion-managed soliton communication systems that use chirped fiber gratings for dispersion compensation is studied. Using both a reduced model and direct numerical simulation, we find that dispersion-managed solitons exist even in the presence of large dispersion variation caused by group-delay ripples. The dispersion-managed solitons suppress the growt...
