Fiber-Optic Communication using Nonlinear Fourier Transforms

When a signal travels through optical fiber, it evolves in a complicated way that is approximately described by the nonlinear Schroedinger equation. However, it turns out that the evolution of a solution to the nonlinear Schroedinger equation becomes simple when it is considered in the so-called nonlinear Fourier domain. This fact has recently started to attract attention in fiber-optic communications, where the idea has risen to encode information in the nonlinear Fourier domain instead of the time or the conventional Fourier domain. In this talk, the advantages of this concept will be explained. Recent results as well as open questions will also be discussed.
