Modification of the discrete spectral parameters of optical solitons in fibers with variable dispersion

Resumo

The spectral parameters of solitons result from the nonlinear Fourier transform for a pulse propagating in a fiber. A new approach for controlling the discrete component of spectral parameters is proposed. In the presence of a resonance between field oscillations and fiber dispersion, the real part of spectral parameters change, which leads to multisoliton pulse separation into fundamental solitons. It is proposed to use this effect for signal decoding in communication lines operating based on the nonlinear Fourier transform.
