title: Transmission of pulse sequences through monomode fibers.
abstract: The transmission of sequences of pulses of finite linewidth through monomode fibers is investigated using methods of optical coherence theory. It is shown that, in the absence of third-order dispersion, this is mathematically analogous to spatial Fresnel diffraction. The effect of optical interference of overlapping pulses on the transmission capacity is discussed.
