Abstract
The invention relates to a method of stabilizing managed optical solitons propagating in a dispersion-managed optical fiber transmission line, said method being characterized in that the following are performed periodically along the transmission line for each managed optical soliton: a first step consisting in establishing coupling that is substantially linear between the energy and the spectrum width of the optical soliton; and a second step consisting in setting the spectrum width by filtering, and, by means of the substantially linear coupling, in setting the energy of the soliton resulting from the first step, the center frequency of the filtering being substantially equal to the center frequency of the optical soliton.
