    Stabilization of optical pulse transmission by exploiting fiber nonlinearities
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Bandelow, Uwe; Amiranashvili, Shalva; Pickartz, Sabrina
    We prove theoretically, that the evolution of optical solitons can be dramatically influenced in the course of nonlinear interaction with much smaller group velocity matched pulses. Even weak pump pulses can be used to control the solitons, e.g., to compensate their degradation caused by Raman-scattering.

    Unusual ways of four-wave mixing instability
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2022) Amiranashvili, Shalva; Bandelow, Uwe
    A pump carrier wave in a dispersive system may decay by giving birth to blue- and red-shifted satellite waves due to modulation or four-wave mixing instability. We analyse situations where the satellites are so different from the carrier wave, that the red-shifted satellite either changes its propagation direction (k < 0, ω > 0) or even gets a negative frequency (k, ω < 0). Both situations are beyond the envelope approach and require application of Maxwell equations.
