  • Abstract
    We have shown that interactions between pulses can lead to a significant reduction of the bandwidth of nonlinear systems. The inclusion of loss is essential and implies that solitons must be launched with a separation of at least 10 times their pulse width for short systems of ~ 30 km and even more for longer systems.
