Coupled-mode theory approach to nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fibers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The formalism of coupled-mode theory is adopted for describing nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fibers, the coupling being induced by the nonlinear part of the refractive index. This approach describes in a natural way the influence of the waveguide, and in principle allows of the possibility of investigating soliton propagation when more than one mode is excited.

Collective variable theory for optical solitons in fibers.
We present a projection-operator method to express the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation for pulse propagation in optical fibers, in terms of the pulse parameters, called collective variables, such as the pulse width, amplitude, chirp, and frequency. The collective variable (CV) equations of motion are derived by imposing a set of constraints on the CVs to minimize the soliton dressing...
متن کاملEFFECT OF LOSS AND PULSE WIDTH VARIATION ON SOLITON PROPAGATION Part I. Fundamentals of soliton propagation
In this work, the propagation of solitons in single-mode optical fibers has been investigated theoretically by using the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. This equation combines the effects of group velocity dispersion and self-phase modulation present in optical fibers and also takes into account the loss of optical fiber. The nonlinear Schrödinger equation has been solved numerically by using t...
متن کاملMultichannel Soliton Transmission and Pulse Shepherding in Bit-Parallel-Wavelength Optical Fiber Links
We study basic principles of the bit-parallel-wavelength (BPW) pulse transmission in multichannel single-mode optical fiber links for high-performance computer networks. We develop a theory of the pulse shepherding effect that allows simultaneous propagation of pulses in parallel bit slots by binding them into a multicomponent BPW soliton. We describe families of the BPW solitons and bifurcatio...
متن کاملNonlinear theory of polarization-mode dispersion for fiber solitons.
We consider the evolution of optical solitons inside a nonlinear dispersive fiber with random birefringence, causing polarization-mode dispersion. We convert the pair of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations satisfied by the orthogonally polarized components into a Fokker-Planck equation using the collective-variable approach. We solve this equation and derive expressions for the probability ...
متن کاملIN QUANTUM ELECTRONICS 1 Nonlinear Pulse Propagation in Long - Period
| In this paper we discuss theoretical and experimental aspects of nonlinear pulse propagation in long-period ber gratings. We derive nonlinear coupled mode equations for co-propagating core and cladding modes in a long-period ber grating and show that the intensity dependent index can be used to tune the mode coupling, thereby creating a mechanism for pulse shaping and all-optical switching. E...
