Abstract
Optical solitons propagating in media exhibiting saturable nonlinearit y offer advantages over Kerr-medium solitons for transmission over lar ge distances through optical fibers with loss. Soliton pulses in satur able media offer greater energy for a given peak power, and upper-bran ch solitons decrease in width with distance traveled. These properties result in pulses that remain distinct and detectable for greater dist ances than Kerr-medium solitons do with the same peak power. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America.
