Abstract

In this paper, we assess the performance of 10 Gb/s dispersion managed soliton communication systems using an analytical approach. The benefits of enhanced power solitons over conventional solitons are carefully evaluated. It is shown that transmission beyond 10 Mm is possible using an appropriate dispersion map, without any additional soliton control technique. An optimum path-average dispersion is identified for a particular dispersion managed system, and its performance is compared to a uniform dispersion system with similar characteristics
