Abstract

Two theoretical schemes for amplifying and reshaping solitons in optical fibers are discussed. In the first of these schemes, solitons are amplified and reshaped without creating dispersive waves. In the second scheme, solitons are amplified while dispersive waves are suppressed. Ways to realize these schemes in practice are discussed.
