Abstract
The concept of optical soliton was born in 1973 and was experimentally demonstrated in 1980. It took another two decades for its application to practical systems. During this period, the research on optical solitons has induced the development of various new theories and stimulated discoveries of new forms of solitons. The history of optical soliton research presents an interesting case studyin which an abstract mathematical concept has been transferred into practical public interests and opened new fields of vigorous scientific activities. The lecture summarizes theory of optical solitons and their applications for optical communications.
