New bisoliton solutions in dispersion managed systems (Q2389364)

A method to calculate solitary wave solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with periodic dispersion and weak nonlinearity is presented. It is based on analysis and polynomial deformation of the spectrum of an iterative map. A new family of antisymmetric bisoliton solutions which are bound pairs of solitary waves is obtained. Studying the parameter space where such solutions are possible one determines two places where the solutions appear to bifurcate. It is emphasized that these solutions are of interest for nonlinear fiber optics and they have also potential applications for increasing of bi-rate in high speed optical fiber communications.
