Abstract
Use of optical soliton pulses for extremely high-data-rate optical communication systems was first suggested by Hasegawa and Tapped in 1973.1 However, it was realized later that solitons increase their widths and thus lose soliton nature due to inherent optical loss as they propagate through the single-mode fiber.2 One obvious method to circumvent this problem is to periodically amplify solitons so that loss is compensate throughout propagation.3 We propose and numerically verify another method to compensate for optical loss.
