Dispersion-managed soliton interactions in optical fibers.

چکیده
We simulated dispersion-managed soliton propagation and interaction in optical fibers. The energy-enhancement factor, together with the time-bandwidth product and the stretching factor, were calculated as a function of the difference in absolute values of accumulated dispersion in the fiber spans. The interaction strength of the dispersion-managed solitons was found to depend on the stretching factor. When this factor is less than 1.5, the interaction is weaker than for ideal solitons. When it is more than 1.5, there is a strong interaction between the pulses, which constrains the energy enhancement for practical applications.

Dispersion-managed soliton in optical fibers with zero average dispersion.
A dispersion-managed optical system with stepwise periodic variation of dispersion is studied in the framework of a path-averaged Gabitov-Turitsyn equation. The soliton solution is obtained by means of iterating the path-averaged equation. The dependence of soliton parameters on dispersion map strength is investigated, together with the oscillating tails of the soliton.
متن کاملDynamics of Gaussian and Super-gaussian Solitons in Birefringent Optical Fibers
The variational principle is employed to obtain the parameters dynamics of Gaussian and super-Gaussian chirped solitons which propagates through birefringent optical fibers that is governed by the dispersion-managed vector nonlinear Schrödinger’s equation. The waveform deviates from that of a classical soliton. The periodically changing strong chirp of such a soliton reduces the effective nonli...
متن کاملCalculation of Timing and Amplitude Jitter in Dispersion-Managed Optical Fiber Communications Using Linearization
An approach based on linearization that allows us to calculate the timing and amplitude jitter for arbitrary pulse shapes in dispersion-managed fibers is developed. We apply this approach to calculate the jitter for dispersion-managed soliton, return-to-zero (RZ), and nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) transmission formats. We then estimate the bit error rates. The approach described here yields more prec...
متن کاملOn the Boundary of the Dispersion - Managed Soliton Existence
Propagation of optical pulse in nonlinear media with varying dispersion is both fundamental [1] and important applied problem [2–8] because the dispersion-managed (DM) system, which is a system with periodic dispersion variation along an optical fiber, is one of the most prospective candidate for ultrafast high-bit-rate optical communication lines. Lossless propagation of optical pulse in DM fi...
متن کاملParametric Resonance and Radiative Decay of Dispersion-Managed Solitons
We study propagation of dispersion-managed solitons in optical fibers which are modeled by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a periodic dispersion coefficient. When the dispersion variations are weak compared to the average dispersion, we develop perturbation series expansions and construct asymptotic solutions at the first and second orders of approximation. Due to a parametric resonance...
