•dispersion compensation aims to preventbroadening of the pulse (in linear regime)•four wave mixing (nonlinearity) is suppressed•effect of additive noise is suppressed
Breathing solution - DM soliton• no exact solution• nearly (but not exactly) Gaussian shape• mechanism: balance of disp. and nonl.

Noise in dispersion
Questions: Does an initially localized pulse survive propagation? Are probability distribution functions of various pulse parameters getting steady?

Practical recommendations for improving fiber system performancethat is limited by randomness in chromatic dispersion.
The limitation originates from the accumulation of the integraldispersion. The distance between naturally occurring nearest zerosgrows with fiber length. This growth causes pulse degradation.
We have shown that the signal can be stabilized by periodic orquasi-periodic pinning of the accumulated dispersion.
