Abstract

Propagation of dispersion-managed solitons in optic fibers with randomly distributed dispersion is studied. It is shown that the effect of the dispersion fluctuations can be described within the framework of a modified nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a frequency-dependent damping term (∼ω4). The presence of randomly modulated dispersion leads to the damping of optical pulses. The condition for stable pulse propagation is determined based on the corresponding variational equations.
