Abstract
In this chapter the nonlinear Schrodinger’s equation (NLSE) will be derived from the basic principles of Electromagnetic Theory. This equation will be then modified in presence of dispersion-management. The conserved quantities of this dispersion-managed NLSE (DM-NLSE) will be derived. The variational principle used for solving the DM-NLSE will be introduced. Finally, this chapter will end with a brief introduction to the soliton perturbation theory.
