Soliton Related Entries Web Links New/Updated Information Note: Many topics at this site are reduced versions of the text in "The Encyclopedia of Networking and Telecommunications." Search results will not be as extensive as a search of the book's CD-ROM. Solitons are waves that propagate with little energy loss and keep their shape, even after colliding with other waves. The phenomenon was first observed in water, but solitons in the form of light pulses are being employed in fiber-optic transmission systems to enhance distance and performance. The soliton serves as the method for encoding digital signals onto the cable. Soliton-based equipment emits a short pulse of laser light that propagates through fiber-optic cable with no chromatic dispersion. Copyright (c) 2001 Tom Sheldon and Big Sur Multimedia.
