Quantum Theory of Optical Solitons
نویسندگان
چکیده
A quantum theory of optical solitons is developed. Two kinds of optical soliton phenomena are studied : solitons in optical fibers and self-induced transparency (SIT) solitons. Quantum effects of optical soliton propagation are investigated. Among various quantum effects examined, two of them are of particular interest : the position spreading effect and the squeezing effect. The former places a fundamental upper limit on the achievable bit-rate of proposed long distance communication systems using solitons while the latter may help to overcome the standard quantum limit in precision measurements.

Numerical Analysis of Stability for Temporal Bright Solitons in a PT-Symmetric NLDC
PT-Symmetry is one of the interesting topics in quantum mechanics and optics. One of the demonstration of PT-Symmetric effects in optics is appeared in the nonlinear directional coupler (NLDC). In the paper we numerically investigate the stability of temporal bright solitons propagate in a PT-Symmetric NLDC by considering gain in bar and loss in cross. By using the analytical solutions of pertu...

In this paper we numerically investigate the effect of relative phase on thestability of temporal bright solitons in a Nano PT- Symmetric nonlinear directionalcoupler (NLDC) by considering gain in bar and loss in cross. We also study the effect ofrelative phase on the output perturbed bright solitons energies, in the range of 0 to 180 . By using perturbation theory three eigenfunctions an...
متن کاملQuantum theory of fibre Bragg grating solitons*
Following the pioneering work of Professor Haus, a general quantum theory for bi-directional nonlinear optical pulse propagation problems is developed and applied to study the quantum properties of fibre Bragg grating solitons. Fibre Bragg grating solitons are found to be automatically amplitude squeezed after passing through the grating and the squeezing ratio saturates after a certain grating...
متن کاملImplication of Quantum Effects on Non-Linear Propagation of Electron Plasma Solitons
We have studied the electron exchange-correlation effect on thecharacteristics of the two-component unmagnetized dense quantum plasma withstreaming motion. For this purpose, we have used the quantum hydrodynamic model(including the effects of a quantum statistical Fermi electron temperature) for studyingthe propagation of an electrostatic electron plasma waves in such th...
متن کاملQuantum noise in optical fibers II: Raman jitter in soliton communications
The dynamics of a soliton propagating in a single mode optical fiber with Raman coupling to thermal phonons is analyzed. Using both soliton perturbation theory, and exact numerical techniques, we predict that intrinsic thermal quantum noise effects due to the phonon reservoirs is a dominant source of jitter and other perturbations for short pulses (∼ 1ps). The size of the Raman timing jitter is...
