Influence of cross-phase modulation on soliton switching in nonlinear optical fibers.

چکیده
The effect of cross-phase modulation (CPM) on the soliton switching in fiber nonlinear couplers is analyzed by studying the evolution of the soliton parameters at different values of the ratio sigma between the CPM and self-phase modulation contributions. It is shown that the CPM effect may sufficiently modify the switching characteristics, and perfect switching is always achieved for sigma ? 1 when the model becomes exactly integrable. The main conclusions of the present analysis are confirmed by numerical simulations.

All-optical soliton switching for the asymmetric fiber couplers
Coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) equations for the fiber couplers with asymmetric selfphase modulation (SPM) and cross-phase modulation (XPM) are studied. With symbolic computation, oneand two-soliton solutions are obtained for the constantand variable-coefficient CNLS equations. Switching dynamics of the solitons is discussed, and effects of the second-order group-velocity dispersion β2, S...
متن کاملUnified description of ultrafast stimulated Raman scattering in optical fibers
Coupled nonlinear equations that describe the nonlinear process of stimulated Raman scattering in optical fibers are derived. These equations account in a unified manner for the Raman amplification, the Stokes generation, the induced self-frequency shift, and the interpulse stimulated Raman-scattering-induced crossfrequency shift. The equations reduce to a well-known form for relatively wide pi...
متن کاملNonlinear interaction of two or more similaritons in loss- and dispersion-managed fibers
We study the nonlinear interaction of two or more fundamental and higher-order similaritons. In particular, we consider the bright similaritons, propagating in nonlinear fibers whose gain–loss and anomalous dispersion vary along the fiber. We first focus on the situation such that the similaritons propagate with the same velocity but are spaced closely enough to overlap. Similar to the soliton ...
متن کاملAdvanced Logic Gates for Ultrafast Network Interchanges
By overcoming speed bottlenecks from electronic switching as well as optical/electronic conversions, all-optical logic gates can permit further exploitation of the nearly 40THz of bandwidth available from optical fibers. We focus on the use of optical solitons and alloptical logic gates to implement ultrafast "interchanges" or switching nodes on packet networks with speeds of 100Gbit/s or great...
متن کاملTime-Frequency (Wigner) Analysis of Linear and Nonlinear Pulse Propagation in Optical Fibers
Time-frequency analysis, and, in particular, Wigner analysis, is applied to the study of picosecond pulse propagation through optical fibers in both the linear and nonlinear regimes. The effects of firstand second-order group velocity dispersion (GVD) and self-phase modulation (SPM) are first analyzed separately. The phenomena resulting from the interplay between GVD and SPM in fibers (e.g., so...
