Abstract :
Optimal dispersion profiles for a WDM soliton system are obtained by minimising the radiative noise and the collision-induced frequency shift. A two-step optimal profile without dispersion slaving to the ideal exponential profile allows a large increase in the amplifier spacing with no significant deterioration of the system performance
