Abstract
We study the interaction of pulses in wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems in hit-parallel optical fiber transmission links for high-performance computer networks. The model is described by a system of nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations for the envelopes of optical pulses propagating ina single-modenonlinearfiber. These equations arecoupled due to the cross-phase-modulation (CPM) effects caused by the intensity dependence of the refractive index. We describe two major effects: (i) manipulation and control of pulses co-propagating on different wavelengths by a shepherd pulse, and (ii) bit-parallel WDM soliton transmission due to the nonlinear CPM effect. We also provide a brief summary of other systems where the multi-mode multi-soliton propagation occurs (such as optical fiber arrays and incoherent spatial solitons), and highlight specific features of the WDM soliton systems.
