Antisymmetric soliton in a dispersion-managed system

We show that, in addition to the soliton of even parity, a dispersion-managed system can also support an antisymmetric stationary pulse. Its existence is predicted on the basis of an approximate differential equation that describes the temporal profile of dispersion-managed solitons. Numerical simulations are used to confirm this prediction and check the robustness of this pulse.
