Summary form only given. Strong dispersion management, in which the fiber is constructed from segments with both normal and anomalous dispersion, has shown great promise for the propagation of nonlinear soliton-like pulses. In particular, while the average dispersion remains low, the pulse energy is enhanced compared to a soliton in a fiber with constant dispersion. This is beneficial in that it leads to reduced Gordon-Haus jitter and increased noise margins. In this paper, we show that the energy enhancement has a more complex parametric dependence than previously reported. In particular, it depends on two parameters: the map strength and the map depth. We obtain a simple formula for the energy enhancement in terms of these parameters, and show that the energy enhancement saturates for strong dispersion maps.
