Polarization scattering by soliton-soliton collisions.

چکیده
We have discovered experimentally that soliton-soliton collisions in wavelength division multiplexing significantly alter the polarization states of the colliding solitons. Analysis shows that the change in polarization is according to the cross product of the Stokes vectors of the colliding solitons. Birefringence of the fiber spans can turn this polarization scattering into a significant source of timing jitter.

Polarization scattering by soliton-soliton collisions
Collision of two solitons of the Manakov system is studied analytically. Existence of a complete polarization mode switching regime is proved and the parameters of solitons prepared for polarization switching are found. The idea of an analytical approach to the description of polarized (i.e., vector) solitons in nonlinear optical fibers is based on the fact [1] that for some values of the param...
متن کاملSoliton-like Solutions of the Complex Non-linear Klein-Gordon Systems in 1 + 1 Dimensions
In this paper, we present soliton-like solutions of the non-linear complex Klein-Gordon systems in 1+1 dimensions. We will use polar representation to introduce three different soliton-like solutions including, complex kinks (anti-kinks), radiative profiles, and localized wave-packets. Complex kinks (anti-kinks) are topological objects with zero electrical charges. Radiative profiles are object...
متن کاملFractal structures in multi-soliton collisions
We study the breather collisions in a weakly discrete sine-Gordon equation and reveal a new mechanism of fractal soliton scattering. We demonstrate how this new mechanism manifests itself in the dynamics of cold soliton gas.r 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملN-soliton collision in the Manakov model
We investigate soliton collisions in the Manakov model which is a system of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations integrable via the inverse scattering method. Computing the asymptotic forms of the general N -soliton solution as t → ∓∞, we elucidate a mechanism which factorizes an N -soliton collision into nonlinear superposition of ( N 2 ) pair collisions in arbitrary order. This removes the...
متن کاملRadiationless energy exchange in three-soliton collisions.
We revisit the problem of the three-soliton collisions in the weakly perturbed sine-Gordon equation and develop an effective three-particle model allowing us to explain many interesting features observed in numerical simulations of the soliton collisions. In particular, we explain why collisions between two kinks and one antikink are observed to be practically elastic or strongly inelastic depe...
