Title: Solitons and its application to optical communications
Speaker: Dr. Taiju Tsuboi
Visiting Professor
Department of Chemistry
Univ. of Western Ontario
on leave from Kyoto Sangyo University, Japan
Date: Thursday, August 30, 1990
Time: 15:00-
Location: GB204G, Galbraith Building, 35 St. George Street
ABSTRACT
Soliton (solitary wave) is produced by the balance between the
nonlinear effect and linear dispersive effect in quasi-one-dimensional
media. Soliton has a property of non-deformed pulse wave even in a long
distance propagation. Various kinds of solitons have been observed in many
solid-state materials, fluids, human body and space. Optical solitons have
been also observed to be produced in optical fiber. A 100 Gbits/sec
transmission is possible using the optical solitons.
In the seminar, I introduce the physical concepts of solitons, and
I explain the formation process of optical solitons and the possibility of
super high bit-rate soliton transmission in the optical communications.
