Abstract
Dispersion-Managed optical solitons or DM solitons was first introduced in the early 1990s and since then it became a very attractive topic for optical communications. Dispersion-Management is very important in dense wavelength-division multiplexed (DWDM) systems. DM solitons allow the formation of ultra-long-haul Tera bit level optical networks working in all optical mode and maintaining optical transparency over vast geographical regions. The more wavelengths in use, the greater the need for dispersion-management. In high channel count systems, channel spacing is very close and requires continuous broadband management of dispersion and dispersion slope [1–10].
