Kuznetsov-Ma Soliton Dynamics in Nonlinear Fiber Optics
2012
The Kuznetzov-Ma (KM) soliton is a solution of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation derived in 1977 but never observed experimentally. Here we report experiments showing KM soliton dynamics in nonlinear breather evolution in optical fiber.
Spectral incoherent solitons: a localized soliton behavior in the frequency domain
2008
We show both theoretically and experimentally in an optical fiber system that a noninstantaneous nonlinear environment supports the existence of spectral incoherent solitons. Contrary to conventional solitons, spectral incoherent solitons do not exhibit a confinement in the spatiotemporal domain, but exclusively in the frequency domain. The theory reveals that the causality condition inherent to the nonlinear response function is the key property underlying the existence of spectral incoherent solitons. These solitons constitute nonequilibrium stable states of the incoherent field and are shown to be robust with respect to binary collisions.
An exact soliton solution for an averaged dispersion-managed fibre system equation
2001
We consider the nonlinear wave propagation in an averaged dispersion-managed (DM) fibre system. We present the explicit Lax pair with a variable spectral parameter and derive the exact soliton solution using the Backlund transformation. A similar study is also carried out for simultaneous propagation of N nonlinear pulses in the averaged DM fibre system.
Singularity analysis and integrability for a HNLS equation governing pulse propagation in a generic fiber optics
2006
Abstract Taking into account many developments in fiber optics communications, we propose a higher nonlinear Schrodinger equation (HNLS) with variable coefficients, more general than that in [R. Essiambre, G.P. Agrawal, Opt. Commun. 131 (1996) 274], which governs the propagation of ultrashort pulses in a fiber optics with generic variable dispersion. The study of this equation is performed using the Painleve test and the zero-curvature method. Also, we prove the equivalence between this equation and its anomalous integrable counterpart (the so-called Sasa–Satsuma equation). Finally, in view of its physical relevance, we present a soliton solution which represents the propagation of ultrasho…
Stable coupled conjugate solitary waves in optical fibers.
1998
Four-wave mixing of an intense continuous-wave pump beam with an ultrashort soliton signal in an optical fiber is theoretically analyzed. A novel class of stable two-color coupled solitary waves is found. These vector parametric solitons represent the optimal frequency conversion of an ultrashort pulse. © 1998 Optical Society of America.
Non-existence of dark solitons in a nonlinear Schrödinger-Maxwell-Bloch fibre system
2000
We consider the coupled system of nonlinear Schrodinger and Maxwell-Bloch (NLS-MB) equations, which govern the nonlinear pulse propagation in erbium doped optical fibres. With the help of the Painleve singularity structure analysis, we prove the non-existence of optical solitons in the NLS-MB fibre system in the normal dispersion regime.
Tensor Network Annealing Algorithm for Two-Dimensional Thermal States
2019
Tensor network methods have become a powerful class of tools to capture strongly correlated matter, but methods to capture the experimentally ubiquitous family of models at finite temperature beyond one spatial dimension are largely lacking. We introduce a tensor network algorithm able to simulate thermal states of two-dimensional quantum lattice systems in the thermodynamic limit. The method develops instances of projected entangled pair states and projected entangled pair operators for this purpose. It is the key feature of this algorithm to resemble the cooling down of the system from an infinite temperature state until it reaches the desired finite-temperature regime. As a benchmark we …
Exact dark soliton solutions for a family ofNcoupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations in optical fiber media
2001
We consider a family of N coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations which govern the simultaneous propagation of N fields in the normal dispersion regime of an optical fiber with various important physical effects. The linear eigenvalue problem associated with the integrable form of all the equations is constructed with the help of the Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur method. Using the Hirota bilinear method, exact dark soliton solutions are explicitly derived.
Determination of the top quark mass circa 2013: methods, subtleties, perspectives
2013
We present an up-to-date overview of the problem of top quark mass determination. We assess the need for precision in the top mass extraction in the LHC era together with the main theoretical and experimental issues arising in precision top mass determination. We collect and document existing results on top mass determination at hadron colliders and map the prospects for future precision top mass determination at e+e- colliders. We present a collection of estimates for the ultimate precision of various methods for top quark mass extraction at the LHC.
Statistical mechanics of the NLS models and their avatars
2006
“In Vishnuland what avatar? Or who in Moscow (Leningrad) towards the czar [1]”. The different manifestations (avatars) of the Nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLS models) are described including both classical and quantum integrable cases. For reasons explained the sinh-Gordon and sine-Gordon models, which can be interpreted as covariant manifestations of the ‘repulsive’ and ‘attractive’ NLS models, respectively, are chosen as generic models for the statistical mechanics. It is shown in the text how the quantum and classical free energies can be calculated by a method of functional integration which uses the classical action-angle variables on the real line with decaying boundary conditions,…
