Interaction of solitons through radiation in optical fibers with randomly varying birefringence.

چکیده
Propagation of solitons in optical fibers is studied taking into account the polarization mode dispersion (PMD) effect. We show that the soliton interaction caused by the radiation emitted by solitons due to the PMD disorder leads to soliton jitter, and we find its statistical properties. The theoretical predictions are justified by direct numerical simulations.

Radiation-induced interaction of optical solitons in fibers with randomly varying birefringence.
We study propagation of solitons in optical fibers with randomly varying birefringence which results in polarization mode dispersion. Due to the disorder, solitons emit radiation, i.e., the energy of the solitons is partly transferred into the delocalized modes. The radiation serves as a mediator of the intersoliton interaction leading to fluctuations of the soliton separations. We establish st...
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 کاملPolarization decorrelation in optical fibers with randomly varying birefringence.
Polarization decorrelation in single-mode fibers with randomly varying birefringence is studied. We find that decorrelation length is minimized for a given beat length if the average autocorrelation length of the birefringence is close to the average beat length. The differential time delay between the polarization modes is found to depend on the autocorrelation length of the birefringence rath...
متن کاملPolarization decorrelation in optical fibers with randomly varying elliptical birefringence.
Polarization decorrelation in single-mode fibers with randomly varying elliptical birefringence is studied. It is found that the effects of ellipticity on the polarization decorrelation length depend on the relative sizes of the beat length and the autocorrelation length of the birefringence fluctuations in the fiber. However, the evolution of the differential group delay remains unaffected by ...
متن کاملPolarization evolution and dispersion in fibers with spatially varying birefringence
Received August 13, 1993; revised manuscript received December 15, 1993 A procedure is described that allows one to solve the evolution equations in birefringent optical fibers by using repeated diagonalization. With this approach several practical problems are solved in a unified way. Included are evolution in twisted fibers, sinusoidally rocked fibers, and fibers with randomly varying birefri...
