Soliton propagation in a dispersion map with deviation from periodicity

Abstract

Solitons in dispersion-managed fibers are a particular case of a periodically perturbed nonlinear system. Since in practice random deviations from strict periodicity of the dispersion alternation are unavoidable, we consider such deviations and study their impact on the soliton’s stability with a view to optical telecommunications. We find a range over which solitons remain stable in a specified sense; this range is sufficient for technical application.
