title: Amplification and reshaping of optical solitons in glass fiber-III. amplifiers with random gain.
abstract: The optical solitons in a glass fiber with dissipation can be reshaped by periodic amplifications and thereby can be stably transmitted for a sufficiently large distance. We show that the solitons retain this basic property even when the amplifiers have gains with random variation.
