Time-Bandwidth Product Perspective for Multi-Soliton Phase Modulation

Abstract
Multi-soliton pulses are potential candidates for fiber optical transmission where the information is modulated and recovered in the so-called nonlinear Fourier domain. While this is an elegant technique to account for the channel nonlinearity, the obtained spectral efficiency, so far, is not competitive with classic Nyquist-based schemes. This is especially due to the observation that soliton pulses generally exhibit a large time-bandwidth product. We consider the phase modulation of spectral amplitudes of higher order solitons, taking into account their varying spectral and temporal behavior when propagating along the fiber. For second and third order solitons, we numerically optimize the pulse shapes to minimize the time-bandwidth product. We study the behavior of multi-soliton pulse duration and bandwidth and generally observe two corner cases where we approximate them analytically. We use these results to give an estimate on the minimal achievable time-bandwidth product per eigenvalue.
