Soliton Communications

In recent years certain extremely stable, localized nonlinear waves, referred to as solitons, have been intensively studied as a mechanism for ultra-fast communications. Transmission of information via multisoliton waves, usually referred to as wavelength-division- multiplexing, has the additional potential of vastly increasing data transmission rates. Some of the technological difficulties associated with implementation of WDM soliton communication systems has, in turn, led to a number of interesting mathematical problems. The overview and description of some of these problems including: four wave mixing, collision induced timing jitter, and dispersion management schemes will be discussed.
