Generation of a train of solitons with arbitrary phase difference between neighboring solitons
Abstract:
We suggest a method that permits generation of a train of solitons with an arbitrary phase difference between adjacent pulses in a single-mode optical fiber. Specifically, a sequence of solitons in quadrature (i.e., where successive pulses differ in phase by pi/2) can permit high-bit-rate transmission. It is shown that this train of pulses has advantages for use in optical transmission lines as a premodulated sequence of pulses because neighboring solitons in the train neither attract nor repel. The case in which this train of pulses is generated in an optical fiber with gain is also considered.

Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...

The first step is measuring the peak-to-peak value, which is twice the amplitude of the sinusoid. This provides information about the maximum voltage swing of the waveform.
Secondly, the period and angular frequency are determined. The period is the time taken for one complete cycle of the waveform, while...
