Dispersion managed self-similar parabolic pulses
2008
International audience; We describe the propagation of a parabolic self-similar pulse in an anomalous dispersive nonlinear fibre. Given the capacity of a linearly chirped parabolic pulse to retain its typical shape over a short propagation distance, we introduce the concept of dispersion managed self-similar pulses and outline potential benefits in terms of spectral broadening enhancement.
Regenerative 40 Gbit/s wavelength converter based on similariton generation.
2005
International audience; We present an all-optical regeneration technique based on spectral filtering of self-similar parabolic pulses (similaritons). In particular, we demonstrate numerically and experimentally that ghost pulses, which occur in the zero bit slots of telecommunication pulse trains, can be effectively suppressed. These results are obtained with a 40 Gbit/s pulse train.
INFLUENCE OF THE INITIAL PHASE PROFILE ON THE ASYMPTOTIC SELF-SIMILAR PARABOLIC DYNAMICS
2009
International audience; We describe the influence of the initial phase profile on the convergence towards asymptotic self-similar parabolic shape. More precisely, based on numerical simulations, we discuss the impact of an initial linear chirp and a p phase shift. If the parabolic shape has been found to describe accurately the pulse envelope, dark structures can appear and evolve also self-similarly on the parabolic background.
Similaritons in optical fiber Raman amplifiers
2005
This thesis presents the generation of optical similaritons in a normally dispersive Raman amplifier at telecom wavelengths. The pulses experimentally characterized by FROG technique exhibit a parabolic intensity profile with a linear chirp, in good agreement with results of numerical simulations.Several theoretical features of the similaritons have been experimentally studied. The dynamics of two similaritons with same or different central wavelengths is also investigated: similaritons are robust against collisions, whereas the interaction of similaritons leads to the generation of high-repetition rate dark soliton train.The similariton properties have been finally applied into three field…
