Incomplete collisions of wavelength-division multiplexed dispersion-managed solitons

چکیده
Interactions of wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) dispersion-managed solitons solitons are studied by means of numerical simulations of both the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation and the nonlocal equation of the NLS type that describes pulse dynamics in systems with strong dispersion management. The interaction properties are found to depend significantly on the values of system parameters. Incomplete collisions can be particularly serious, because in some parameter regimes they lead to large timing and frequency shifts and in some cases to pulse collapse. However, for parameter values derived from recent experiments with dispersion-managed WDM soliton transmission, the interaction properties are even more favorable than for pure NLS equations. © 2001 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 060.5530, 060.4370, 060.4510, 060.4230

Influence of the Raman effect on dispersion-managed solitons and their interchannel collisions.
We calculate the self-frequency shift experienced by a soliton in a dispersion-managed fiber that is due to the Raman effect, as well as the energy and frequency shifts that result from a collision of such solitons with different wavelengths. We find that dispersion management suppresses both types of frequency shift but does not significantly affect the energy shift that is accumulated over a ...
متن کاملInterchannel pulse collision in a wavelength-division-multiplexed system with strong dispersion management.
We develop a perturbation theory to analytically calculate the effects of complete and incomplete interchannel collisions of Gaussian pulses in a wavelength-division-multiplexed system with strong dispersion management. We show that, for complete collisions, the collision-induced frequency shift of a Gaussian pulse is negligible, whereas its position shift is significant and can be found in a s...
متن کاملAnalysis of soliton collisions in a wavelength-division- multiplexed dispersion-managed soliton transmission system.
Timing jitter induced by soliton collisions is the leading nonlinear penalty in wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) dispersion-managed soliton transmission. Through analysis and numerical simulations we show that consecutive complete collisions together with partial collisions at the system output cause approximately the same amount of timing shift as partial collisions at the system input. W...

A Lagrangian formulation is used to describe the dynamics of a two-channel, filtered and periodically amplified, dispersion managed soliton system. Two-step periodic dispersion maps that minimize residual time displacements due to inter-channel collisions are obtained.
متن کاملChirped soliton interaction in strongly dispersion-managed wavelength-division-multiplexing systems.
We theoretically analyze nonlinear interactions between chirped solitons in dispersion-managed wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) systems. We employ the perturbation method to evaluate frequency and chirp shifts caused by collisions among different WDM channels. It is shown that a chirped soliton suffers less frequency shift and time displacement than an ideal soliton, indicating its potent...
