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 ...

Recent progress of study on optical solitons in fiber lasers [PDF]

Applied Physics Reviews, 2019
Solitons are stable localized wave packets that can propagate long distance in dispersive media without changing their shapes. As particle-like nonlinear localized waves, solitons have been investigated in different physical systems.

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.

Perturbations of Optical Solitons and Quasi-Solitons

Journal of Electromagnetic Waves and Applications, 2000
Summary: The multiple-scale perturbation method is developed in a new way to study the propagation of pulses through an optical fiber described by a perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We show that, by introducing a new proper definition of the phase of the soliton, one can obtain the corrections to the pulse where the usual soliton perturbation ...

Stable rotating dipole solitons in nonlocal optical media [PDF]

Optics Letters, 2006
We reveal that nonlocality can provide a simplæe physical mechanism for stabilization of multihump optical solitons and present what we believe to be the first example of stable rotating dipole solitons and soliton spiraling, which we are known to be ...

Perturbations of optical solitons

Physical Review A, 1993
A perturbation theory is developed to investigate the effects of various perturbations on soliton propagation down an optical fiber. The theory is formulated within the «natural» framework of inverse scattering theory. The perturbative effects of third-order dispersion, the soliton self-frequency shift, bandwidth-limited gain, periodic modulation, and ...

Control of Optical Soliton Interactions

Optical Fiber Technology, 1995
Abstract We review the theory of optical (temporal and spatial) solitons in nonlinear optical fibers and waveguides and we apply the results to analyze the process of soliton interaction. We show that several approaches with different degrees of complexity may be employed in order to describe the multiple soliton dynamics.

Soliton interaction in optical fibers

Optics Letters, 1987
Interactions of solitons generated by pairs of optical pulses are studied using the perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which models nonlinear optical pulses in a monomode fiber. We examine the mechanism of the soliton interaction both analytically and numerically and show that a bound 2-soliton splits into individual solitons traveling with ...

Interchannel interaction of optical solitons

Physical Review E, 2003
We study interaction between two solitons from different frequency channels propagating in an optical fiber. The interaction may be viewed as an inelastic collision, in which energy is lost to continuous radiation due to small but finite third order dispersion.

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.
