Abstract

A combination of dispersion flattened single mode optical waveguide fiber and soliton signal pulses yields an optimum telecommunication system capacity. The dispersion flattened fiber serves to relax tolerances on soliton center wavelength and intensity. In addition, the inventive combination facilitates the design and use of long haul systems using optical amplifiers.
