Optical Darboux Transformer

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The optical Darboux transformer for solitons is introduced as a photonic device that performs the Darboux transformation directly in the optical domain. This enables two major advances for optical signal processing based on the nonlinear Fourier transform: (i) the multiplexing of solitonic waveforms corresponding to different discrete eigenvalues of the Zakharov-Shabat system, and (ii) the selective filtering of an arbitrary number of individual solitons too. The optical Darboux transformer can be built using existing commercially available photonic technology components and constitutes a universal tool for signal processing, optical communications, optical rogue waves generation, and waveform shaping and control in the nonlinear Fourier domain.
