  2. What was the idea? Fiber Optics. Statistics. • What we did first(Pinning method of pulse confinement in a fiber with fluctuating dispersion) • What we did recently(Shedding and interaction of solitons in imperfect medium) • Other activities and plans(Polarization Mode Dispersion, Wave-length Division Mulitplexing, Dispersion Management, etc) • Suggestions forExtensive DNS, Experiment, Field Trials

  3. Fiber Electrodynamics • Monomode • Weak nonlinearity, • slow in z rescaling averaging over amplifiers NLS in the envelope approximation

  4. - dispersion length - pulse width - nonlinearity length - pulse amplitude Soliton solution Dispersion balances nonlinearity Integrability (Zakharov & Shabat ‘72) Model A Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation

  5. Breathing solution - DM soliton • no exact solution • nearly (but not exactly) Gaussian shape • mechanism: balance of disp. and nonl. Gabitov, Turitsyn ‘96 Smith,Knox,Doran,Blow,Binnion ‘96 Turitsyn et al/Optics Comm 163 (1999) 122 Model B Dispersion management Lin, Kogelnik, Cohen ‘80 • dispersion compensation aims to prevent • broadening of the pulse (in linear regime) • four wave mixing (nonlinearity) is suppressed • effect of additive noise is suppressed

  6. Stochastic model (unrestricted noise) Noise is conservative No jitter Abdullaev and co-authors ‘96-’00 Noise in dispersion. Statistical Description. DSF, Gripp, Mollenauer Opt. Lett. 23, 1603, 1998 Optical-time-domain-reflection method. Measurements from only one end of fiber by phase mismatch at the Stokes frequency Mollenauer, Mamyshev, Neubelt ‘96 Questions:Does an initially localized pulse survive propagation? Are probability distribution functions of various pulse parameters getting steady?

  7. Unrestricted noise Describes slow evolution of the original field if nonlinearity is weak Nonlinearity dies (as z increases) == Pulse degradation correlation length Noise is strong D >> 1 Question:Is there a constraint that one can impose on the random chromatic dispersion to reduce pulse broadening?

  8. The restricted model Periodic quasi-periodic Random uniformly distributed ]-.5,.5[ Pinning method Constraint prescription: the accumulated dispersion should be pinned to zero periodically or quasi-periodically

  9. Weak nonlinearity atL>>lisself-averaged!!! noise average The nonlinear kernel does not decay (with z) !!! noise and pinning period average The averaged equation does have a steady (soliton like) solution in the restricted case Restricted (pinned) noise Model A

  10. The averaged equation does have a steady solution Restricted (pinned) noise. DM case. Weak nonlinearity

  11. Numerical Simulations Fourier split-step scheme Fourier modes Model A Model B

  12. Moral Practical recommendations for improving fiber system performance that is limited by randomness in chromatic dispersion. The limitation originates from the accumulation of the integral dispersion. The distance between naturally occurring nearest zeros grows with fiber length. This growth causes pulse degradation. We have shown that the signal can be stabilized by periodic or quasi-periodic pinning of the accumulated dispersion. M.Chertkov,I. Gabitov,J.Moeser US patent+PNAS 98, 14211 (2001) M.C.,I.G., P. Lushnikov, Z.Toroczkai, JOSAB (2002)

  13. Shedding and Interaction of solitons in imperfect medium M.Chertkov,I. Gabitov, I.Kolokolov, V.Lebedev, JETP Lett. 10/01 MC, Y. Chung, A. Dyachenko, IG,IK,VL PRE Feb 2003 Method Second order adiabatic pert. theory (Kaup ’90) + Statistical averaging z>>1 Questions: *What statistics does describe the radiation emitted due to disorder by a single soliton, pattern of solitons? How far do the radiation wings extend from the peak of the soliton(s)? What is the structure of the wings? *How strong is the radiation mediating interaction between the solitons? How is the interaction modified if we vary the soliton positions and phases within a pattern of solitons? Model A

  14. Single Soliton Story “Asymptotic freedom”: soliton is distinguishable from the radiation at any z Self-averaging

  15. Radiation tail + forerunner

  16. Interaction of Shedding Solitons

  17. Soliton phase mismatch Soliton position shift is Gaussian zero mean random variable

  18. Multi-soliton case The z-dependence is similar to the one described by Elgin-Gordon-Haus jitter Infinite pattern(continuous flow of information)

  19. Pinning Bare case Pinned case Single soliton decay Two-soliton interaction

  20. Statistical Physics of Fiber Communications We planned to addressed: • Single pulse dynamics • Fluctuating dispersion • Dispersion Management and Fluctuations • Raman term +noise • Polarization Mode Dispersion • Additive (Elgin-Gordon-Hauss) noise optimization • Joint effect of the additive and multiplicative noises • Mutual equilibrium of a pulse and radiation closed in a box • (wave turbulence on a top of a pulse) driven by a noise • Many-pulse, -channel interaction • Statistics of the noise driven by the interaction • Suppression of the four-wave mixing (ghost pulses) by the pinning? • Dynamics in a channel under the WDM • Multi mode fibers • noise induced enhancement of the information flow • ...
