				ABSTRACT

	Soliton (solitary wave) is produced by the balance between the
nonlinear effect and linear dispersive effect in quasi-one-dimensional
media.  Soliton has a property of non-deformed pulse wave even in a long
distance propagation.  Various kinds of solitons have been observed in many
solid-state materials, fluids, human body and space.  Optical solitons have
been also observed to be produced in optical fiber.  A 100 Gbits/sec
transmission is possible using the optical solitons.

	In the seminar, I introduce the physical concepts of solitons, and
I explain the formation process of optical solitons and the possibility of
super high bit-rate soliton transmission in the optical communications.
