Influence of random phase modulation on the formation and propagation of a soliton

V. V. Konotop


Abstract: A study was made of the influence of random initial phase modulation on the characteristics of optical solitons formed in a fiber. A calculation is reported of a reduction in the amplitude of solitons and their velocity distribution for an arbitrary phase correlation function. Statistical characteristics are obtained for the optical noise which appears because of initial phase modulation.
