Abstract
We analyze the scattering of a soliton from a cnoidal wave train in a fiber theoretically as well as numerically. Solitons recover their original shapes and velocities after collisions, while shapes of cnoidal waves are nearly preserved during collisions. The effect of collisions is described by the change of velocities of solitons, and the theoretical predictions are in good agreement with numerical results.
