Exact Solutions for Wave Propagation in Birefringent Optical Fibers
نویسنده
چکیده
We carry out a group-theoretical study of the pair of nonlinear Schrödinger equations describing the propagation of waves in nonlinear birefringent optical fibers. We exploit the symmetry algebra associated with these equations to provide examples of specific exact solutions. Among them, we obtain the soliton profile, which is related to the coordinate translations and the constant change of phase.

متن کاملDynamics of solitonlike pulse propagation in birefringent optical fibers.
Integrated Stokes parameters are used to describe solitonlike pulse propagation and its state of polarization in birefringent optical fibers. A qualitative analysis on the Poincare sphere is developed to describe the evolution of the state of polarization of the soliton as a whole. Simple analytic equations describing the pulse evolution are derived in the approximation of the average profile. ...
متن کاملOn pulse broadening for optical solitons
Pulse broadening for optical solitons due to birefringence is investigated. We present an analytical solution which describes the propagation of solitons in birefringent optical fibers. The special solutions consist of a combination of purely solitonic terms propagating along the principal birefringence axes and soliton-soliton interaction terms. The solitonic part of the solutions indicates th...
متن کاملVector modulation instability induced by vacuum fluctuations in highly birefringent fibers in the anomalous-dispersion regime.
We report a detailed experimental study of vector modulation instability in highly birefringent optical fibers in the anomalous-dispersion regime. We prove that the observed instability is mainly induced by vacuum fluctuations. The detuning of the spectral peaks agrees with linear perturbation analysis. The exact shape of the spectrum is well reproduced by numerical integration of stochastic no...
