Abstract

The performance of fiber-optic communication is constrained by the dispersive phenomenon of group velocity dispersion (GVD) and fiber non-linearity of self-phase modulation, but when these effects are balanced, a single wave or soliton is produced. A soliton can travel a great distance with constant speed. It is suitable for use in ultra-long-distance communication because of these unique features. The non-linear Schrodinger (NLS) equation describes the optical soliton propagation in optical fibers. By using the method of line (MOL) to solve the NLS equation, this study mimics the optical soliton propagation. It demonstrates that during simulations at 400 km, the optical soliton maintains its shape and amplitude.
