Method for Controlling Dispersion in Order to Maintain a Quasi-Soliton Pulse Propagation Mode in High-Speed Fiber-Optic Communications System

Relevance: Every year, there is an increasing need to enhance the bandwidth and range of fiber-optic communication systems. The study of methods to control dispersion is relevant and helps maintain a quasi-soliton regime, which is essential for ensuring high-speed, reliable data transmission. Conducted modeling and calculations make this research practical and applicable. This will enable engineers to accurately predict the system's behavior and optimize its performance before implementing it in real-world networks.

Problem statement: Investigation of the processes of maintaining a quasi-soliton regime in fibers with decreasing chromatic dispersion and alternating fibers with different signs of chromatic dispersion, both with and without initial chirping.

Goal of the work: The development and analysis of techniques to control dispersion in order to maintain a quasi-soliton mode of light propagation in single-mode optical fibers.

Methods: The study of the processes of maintaining a quasi-soliton regime was carried out by mathematical and numerical modeling. To substantiate the methods, theoretical analysis and calculations were carried out and schemes for a quasi-soliton fiber-optic communication system were developed and modeling was carried out.

Result: The analysis of the results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method and showed the efficiency and stability of the solutions in conditions that were close to real-world scenarios.

Novelty: Models for maintaining a quasi-soliton regime and methods for studying them have been developed. The most effective ways to preserve quasi-soliton pulses over long distances have been analyzed.

Practical significance: The developed models and research methods can be applied in the educational process and the development of real fiber-optic communication systems.
