Soliton-radiation beat analysis.
A technique is introduced which allows us to extract information on the solitonic content from a nonlinear wave. Its applicability is not as narrowly restricted as that of inverse scattering theory; therefore, it works in situations that could not be studied before. As an example we identify and demonstrate a higher order dispersion-managed soliton.
