This book begins with a generic approach to the soliton concept, considered as a particular solution of some integrable equations. Afterwards, the author provides an overview of several linear and nonlinear phenomena in optical fibers, which become relevant to understanding soliton behaviour in different conditions. After discussing the main properties of ideal fiber solitons, the author discusses their propagation in some realistic transmission systems. The use of fiber solitons beyond transmission systems, namely in fiber lasers, couplers, and pulse compression schemes, are also described. Two chapters fully describe the particular characteristics of dissipative solitons. One is dedicated to stationary dissipative solitons, including their interaction and the formation of bound states. The other is dedicated to pulsating dissipative solitons, including plain pulsating, creeping, erupting, and chaotic solitons. The impact of higher-order effects in these pulses is also discussed.
The book also includes:
A thorough introduction to solitons, including the linear and nonlinear effects of a wave, the discovery of solitary waves, and the discovery of solitons in optical fibers
An exploration of fiber dispersion and nonlinearity, including optical fiber dispersion, the pulse propagation equation, and the impact of fiber dispersion
Practical discussions of nonlinear effects in optical fibers, including self-phase modulation, cross-phase modulations, four-wave mixing, and stimulated raman scattering
In-depth treatments of solitons in optical fibers, including modulation instability, dark solitons, bistable solitons, XPM-paired solitons, and the variational approach
Perfect for senior undergraduate and graduate students in courses dealing with fiber-optics technology, Solitons in Optical Fiber Systems is also an ideal resource for engineers and technicians in the fiber-optics industry and researchers of nonlinear fiber optics.
