Statistics of soliton-bearing systems with additive noise

arXiv:nlin/0004001 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.63.025601

Abstract

We present a consistent method to calculate the probability distribution of soliton parameters in systems with additive noise. Even though a weak noise is considered, we are interested in probabilities of large fluctuations (generally non-Gaussian) which are beyond perturbation theory. Our method is a further development of the instanton formalism (method of optimal fluctuation) based on a saddle-point approximation in the path integral. We first solve a fundamental problem of soliton statistics governing by noisy Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (NSE). We then apply our method to optical soliton transmission systems using signal control elements (filters, amplitude and phase modulators).
