title: Dispersion-managed cnoidal pulse trains.
abstract: We report on the existence and properties of breathing periodic cnoidal pulse trains propagating in dispersion managed systems with piecewise constant dispersion. Our numerical investigations show that the dispersion management enhances the robustness of the periodic cnoidal pulse trains in comparison to the pulse trains existing in a uniform medium. The concept might have direct applications to pulse trains generated by mode-locked fiber lasers.
