In this paper, noise effects related to pulsed injection locking of a passively modelocked laser (PML) are analyzed. A set of nonlinear equations, derived from a soliton perturbation method, is used to describe the modelocked laser pulse evolution, under injection locking. The equations are linearized, and the stability of the injection locked solution is studied. Subsequently, the linear equations are employed to describe the coupling of both the injected signal noise and the internal noise, to the locked pulses. Noise reduction due to the injection process is demonstrated, with important implications for all optical signal regeneration and synchronization.read more

Random walk of coherently amplified solitons in optical fiber transmission
James P. Gordon,Hermann A. Haus +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that amplifier noise causes a soliton's group velocity to undergo a random-walk process, which limits the system's product of length times bit rate, in one example, to about 24 000 GHz-km.

TL;DR: In this paper, a linearized quantum theory of soliton squeezing and detection is presented, which reduces the quantum problem to a classical one, and an optimal homodyne detector is presented that suppresses the noise associated with the continuum and the uncertainties in position and momentum.
