Fiber-optic communication systems are nowadays facing serious challenges due to fast growing demand on capacity from various new applications and services.It is now well recognised that nonlinear effects limit the spectral efficiency transmission reach of modern fiber-optic communications.Nonlinearity compensation therefore widely believed be paramount importance for increasing future optical networks.Recently, there has been a steadily interest in application powerful mathematical tool -the...
Abstract Modern high-power lasers exhibit a rich diversity of nonlinear dynamics, often featuring nontrivial co-existence linear dispersive waves and coherent structures. While the classical Fourier method adequately describes extended waves, analysis time-localised and/or non-stationary signals call for more nuanced approaches. Yet, mathematical methods that can be used simultaneous characterisation localized fields are not yet well developed. Here, we demonstrate how Nonlinear transform...

In this paper we propose the design of communication systems based on using periodic nonlinear Fourier transform (PNFT), following introduction method in Part I. We show that famous "eigenvalue communication" idea [A. Hasegawa and T. Nyu, J. Lightwave Technol. 11, 395 (1993)] can also be generalized for PNFT application: case, main spectrum attributed to signal decomposition remains constant with propagation down optical fiber link. Therefore, encoded data same way as soliton eigenvalues...
Nonlinear Fourier transform (NFT) based transmission technique relies on the integrability of nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). However, lossless NLSE is not directly applicable for description light evolution in fibre links with lumped amplification such as Erbium-doped amplifier (EDFA) because nonuniform loss and gain evolution. In this case, path-averaged model usually applied an approximation true including loss. inaccuracy path-average model, even though being small, can also...
Most of the nonlinear Fourier transform (NFT) based optical communication systems studied so far deal with burst mode operation that substantially reduce achievable spectral efficiency. The requirement emerges due to very nature commonly used version NFT processing method: it can process only rapidly decaying signals, requires zero-padding guard intervals for dispersion-induced channel memory, and does not allow one control time-domain occupation well. Some limitations drawbacks imposed by...
