Dissipative optical solitons

Physical Review A, 1994
It is found that dissipative types of stable soliton structures can exist in nonlinear optical media with broadband gain and group-velocity dispersion (GVD). These structures resemble ionization or combustion waves and are essentially self-accelerating pulses with a stationary-envelope form and a permanently shifting wave spectrum.

Squeezed optical solitons

Physical Review Letters, 1991
We have experimentally demonstrated the squeezing of optical solitons, resulting in a detected photocurrent noise power (32\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}3)% (1.7 dB) below the shot-noise limit over a broadband of frequencies. The squeezing is accomplished using the Kerr nonlinearity of a polarization-preserving single-mode optical fiber at liquid ...

Soliton-sinc optical pulses

Optics Letters, 2020
We introduce a new, to the best of our knowledge, type of band-limited optical pulse—soliton-sinc tailored to the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. The idea behind the soliton-sinc pulse is to combine, even if approximately, a property of a fundamental soliton to propagate without distortions in nonlinear systems governed by the NLS equation with a

Discrete solitons in optics

Physics Reports, 2008
Abstract We provide an overview of recent experimental and theoretical developments in the area of optical discrete solitons. By nature, discrete solitons represent self-trapped wavepackets in nonlinear periodic structures and result from the interplay between lattice diffraction (or dispersion) and material nonlinearity.

Optical solitons and quantum solitons

Journal of Optics B: Quantum and Semiclassical Optics, 2004
We return to the notion of optical solitons as these were first introduced—namely as exact soliton and multi-soliton solutions of the semi-classical self-induced transparency (SIT) equations. The SIT equations, even in their most general inhomogeneously broadened forms, are infinite dimensional, completely integrable Hamiltonian systems, and thus ...

Bistable spheroidal optical solitons

Physical Review A, 1992
The possible forms the intensity dependence of the nonlinear refractive index would have to take for bistable light bullets to exist are examined. Bistable light bullets are propagating spheroidal optical solitons characterized by different sizes and intensity profiles but with the same energy.

Optical solitons: Perspectives and applications

Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2000
This article serves as an introduction to the focus issue on optical solitons. After a short review of the history of solitons and the field of integrable systems, a brief overview of the development of nonlinear optics and optical solitons is provided.

Dissipative solitons for real world optical solitons

2007 Asia Optical Fiber Communication and Optoelectronics Conference, 2007
Efficient use of nonlinear dissipation enables the formation of robust optical pulses, with unique soliton properties. This way, exceptional stability of mode-locked lasers, formation of "soliton molecules", and optical regeneration schemes can be better understood.

Optical Solitons

1992
This book describes both the theoretical and experimental aspects of optical soliton generation, soliton properties and the application of optical solitons to all-optical high-bit-rate communications. Only temporal optical solitons in fibres are considered.
