摘要
We report several major theoretical steps towards realizing stable long-distance multichannel soliton transmission in Kerr nonlinear waveguide loops. We find that transmission destabilization in a single waveguide is caused by resonant formation of radiative sidebands and investigate the possibility to increase transmission stability by optimization with respect to the Kerr nonlinearity coefficient gamma. Moreover, we develop a general method for transmission stabilization, based on frequency dependent linear gain loss in Kerr nonlinear waveguide couplers, and implement it in two-channel and three-channel transmission. We show that the introduction of frequency dependent loss leads to significant enhancement of transmission stability even for non-optimal gamma values via decay of radiative sidebands, which takes place as a dynamic phase transition. For waveguide couplers with frequency dependent linear gain loss, we observe stable oscillations of soliton amplitudes due to decay and regeneration of the radiative sidebands. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
