Polarization scattering by soliton–soliton collisions

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We have discovered experimentally that soliton–soliton collisions in wavelength division multiplexing significantly alter the polarization states of the colliding solitons. Analysis shows that the change in polarization is according to the cross product of the Stokes vectors of the colliding solitons. Birefringence of the fiber spans can turn this polarization scattering into a significant source of timing jitter.
