Abstract

Optimal allocation of amplifiers in a dispersion-managed line is theoretically derived by means of minimizing the collision-induced frequency shift in a two-channel wavelength-division-multiplexed soliton transmission system. Almost complete cancellation of the frequency shift can be obtained for such a system with any strength of dispersion management.
