Abstract
We examine the properties of dispersion-managed (DM) solitons in fiber lines with dispersion-compensation period much shorter than amplification distance . DM solitons in systems with short-scale dispersion compensation have reduced power compared with DM solitons in previously studied regimes with power (for the same local and average dispersion and the same pulse width). As a result, chirped DM soliton transmission with reasonably low power can be realized with shorter pulses when DM solitons in systems with large ratios have energies that are too high to be used in practice.
