Curtis, Thank you for the information on light speed in a fiber. There must be a comparable measure for the speed at which electrons pass through copper (one of Maxwell eqs) I just don't have a reference here. And yes, "Pulse propagation in the soliton regime is non-linear and many dispersion effects influence it". Hence the type of glass and chromatic dispersion controls are quite importants; but I am still wondering if a "polarized" verison of a soliton could be create and if so whether this could be exploited by all optic switches.
