✦ Synopsis

This article theoretically reviews recent progress in fiber dispersion management technologies to achieve enhancement in transmission rates of the

soliton-based wavelength division multi-( ) plexing WDM as well as time division multiplexing. This review covers the basic concept of dispersion management, its effectiveness in WDM and in elongation of amplifier spacing, optimization in stepwise dispersion profiles, and generation of solitons ( with more desirable properties i.e., dressed solitons and ) quasi-solitons . ᮊ 1997 Academic Press Contents. 0.
