TLDR
Self-induced stochastic behavior for the evolution of light along a periodically perturbed two-mode nonlinear optical waveguide is predicted and implications for recently demonstrated all-optical switching using birefringent fibers are discussed.Abstract:

Hamiltonian chaos in nonlinear optical polarization dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply Hamiltonian methods to the Stokes representation of the one-beam and two-beam problems of polarized optical pulses propagating as travelling waves in nonlinear media.

Ultrashort pulse train generation through induced modulational polarization instability in a birefringent Kerr-like medium
Stefano Trillo,Stefan Wabnitz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors predict that, by inducing modulational polarization instabilities, one may generate a train of ultrashort pulses from continuous-wave (cw) radiation propagating in a birefringent optical fiber.

TL;DR: In this paper, the dependence of the switching characteristics on the input power and operating wavelength of a periodically twisted fiber filter is considered, and the switching performance is compared with the same model for all-optical switching between two orthogonal linear polarizations.

Finite-dimensional description of nonlinear pulse propagation in optical-fiber couplers with applications to soliton switching
TL;DR: In this paper, a general formalism able to describe nonlinear pulse propagation in multimode optical fibers or waveguide couplers by means of a finite number of parameters, which are functions of the traveled distance.

Bimodal counterpropagating spatial solitary-waves
TL;DR: A simple analysis of the standard coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations for counter-propagating beams reveals the existence of a new class of spatial solitary waves in the Kerr media as mentioned in this paper.
