title: Compensation of soliton broadening in nonlinear optical fibers with loss.
abstract: A novel optical fiber is proposed that supports the lowest-order soliton despite the presence of optical loss. Groupvelocity dispersion of this fiber decreases with distance, in accord with soliton attenuation that is due to the inherent optical loss of the fiber.
