Solitons can be found in hydrodynamics, nonlinear optics, plasma physics, and biology. Optical solitons are solitary light waves that hold their form over an expansive interval. Conservation of this form creates an effective model for long distance voice and data transmission.The application of this principle is essential to the technology of wired communications. Optical solitons produce crystal clear phone calls cross-country and internationally. It is because of these that someone on the other end of the phone 606 $aOptical fibers 606 $aSolitons 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOptical fibers. 615 0$aSolitons. 676 $a621.36/92 700 $aMollenauer$b L.
