Spanish term or phrase: solitote
Does anyone know what this term is in English? It doesn't appear to be a typo because it is used throughout the text in different but similar contexts.

Here is the context:

Es importante mencionar que la patente US xxxx, describe un regenerador que usa modulación de fase óptica, utilizando solitotes, en un sistema de transmisión de fibra óptica, donde la señal es modulada por un reloj.
xxxxxxx
Hay muchas diferencias con respecto a esta invención de hecho son completamente diferentes. Noten que el formato de modulación en la patente US xxxx es por distribución de fase, se utiliza el envío de solitotes, se utiliza la diferencia de fase entre la información contenida en el soliton y el reloj de la señal para sincronizar el reloj en el recetor. Esos detalles muestran que la patente es muy diferente a la nuestra.
xxxxxxxxxxx

Any information on this term will be very appreciated.

Thanks,

Laura

Aha! There appears to be usage of both "solitón (es)" and "solitotes" and in the first link "tesis..." both are used:

Los ** solitones ** ópticos son paquetes de luz (haces y/o pulsos) que no se dispersan gracias al balance entre difracción/dispersión y no linealidad. Al propagarse e interactuar los unos con los otros muestran propiedades que normalmente se asocian a partículas. Las propiedades de los solitones ópticos en fibras ópticas y cristales han sido investigadas en profundidad durante las últimas dos décadas. Sin embargo, los solitones en mallas, o redes, ópticas, que podrían ser usados para procesado y direccionamiento totalmente óptico de señales, se han convertido en una nueva área de investigación. El principal objetivo de esta tesis es el estudio de nuevas técnicas para controlar ** solitotes** en medios no lineales en mallas ópticas.
Optical solitons are light packets (beams and/or pulses) that do not broaden because of the proper balance between diffraction/dispersion and nonlinearity. They propagate and interact with one another while displaying properties that are normally associated with real particles. The properties of optical solitons in optical fibers and crystals have been investigated comprehensively during the last two decades. However, solitons in optical lattices, which might be used for all-optical signal processing and routing have recently emerged a new area of research. The main objective of this thesis is the investigation of new techniques for ** soliton control ** in nonlinear media with/without an imprinted optical lattice.

Now, I am doubting myself.

In mathematics and physics, a soliton is a self-reinforcing solitary wave (a wave packet or pulse) that maintains its shape while it travels at constant speed. Solitons are caused by a cancellation of nonlinear and dispersive effects in the medium.

I concur with Anne. I do believe that it should be "solitón", "solitones".

soliton (sing)/ solitons (pl)


Explanation:
Si creo que es un error tipográfico, más que nada al aparecer en el mismo texto el término "soliton".

Ejemplos de uso del término en Inglés:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soliton
http://www.master-photonics.org/uploads/media/Govind_Agrawal...

Ejemplo de uso del término sin error tipográfico en Español, que sería "solitones", y no "solitotes" como aparece en el texto que mencionas:
http://www.cidse.itcr.ac.cr/revistamate/ContribucionesV7n120...

Espero te sirva, no he puesto demasiados ejemplos pero es fácil encontrar páginas al respecto poniendo la palabra correcta sin el error tipográfico en Español, así como si realizas una búsqueda del término en Inglés.

Saludos, A.
