Results of Hyperbolic-Secant pulse propagation in a single-mode optical fiber communication system are presented. Dispersion results in pulse broadening which limits the information carrying capacity of the fiber. Hyperbolic-Secant pulse propagation model is obtained using split-step Fourier Method from nonlinear Schrodinger Equation. It was found that hyperbolic-secant pulse has a much more uniform pulse broadening and also experience less pulse broadening when compared to a Gaussian pulse at same propagation distance.
