Quasi-linear optical pulses in strongly dispersion-managed transmission systems
Abstract:
A unified analytical description of the evolution of quasi-linear optical pulses and solitons in strongly dispersion-managed transmission systems is developed. Asymptotic analysis of the nonlocal equation that describes the averaged dynamics of a dispersion-managed system shows that the nonlinearity decreases for large map strength s , as O(log s/s) . The spectral intensity is found to be an invariant of the propagation, which allows the phase shift to be computed. These findings provide a clear description of pulse propagation in the quasi-linear regime, which is characterized by much lower energies than those required for stable dispersion-managed soliton transmission with the same dispersion map.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
Propagation of Waves
Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...
