title: Collisions in dispersion-managed soliton propagation.
abstract: We study collisions in dispersion-managed soliton propagation for wavelength-division multiplexing application at zero net dispersion when the Gordon-Haus timing jitter is removed. We show that the collisions can lead to group-velocity changes and spectral collapse. Large channel separation ameliorates the effects. Filters prevent spectral collapse but do not affect the velocity changes.
