7.2 Derive the dispersion relation (7.2.7) for XPM-induc<strong>ed</strong> modulation instability<br />

starting from Eqs. (7.1.15) and (7.1.16). Under what conditions can modulation<br />

instability occur in the normal-GVD regime of a fiber?<br />

7.3 Write a computer program in MATLAB (or any other programming language)<br />

and reproduce the gain curves shown in Figure 7.1.<br />

7.4 Verify that the pair of bright and dark solitons given by Eqs. (7.3.1) and (7.3.2)<br />

inde<strong>ed</strong> satisfies the coupl<strong>ed</strong> NLS equations.<br />

7.5 Solve Eqs. (7.4.1) and (7.4.2) analytically after neglecting the GVD terms with<br />

second derivatives.<br />

7.6 Starting from the solution given in Eq. (7.4.5), derive an expression for the XPMinduc<strong>ed</strong><br />

phase shift impos<strong>ed</strong> on a probe pulse by a copropagating pump pulse.<br />

Assume that the two pulses have “sech” shape, the same width, and are launch<strong>ed</strong><br />

simultaneously.<br />

7.7 Use the result obtain<strong>ed</strong> in the prec<strong>ed</strong>ing problem to calculate the frequency chirp<br />

impos<strong>ed</strong> on the probe pulse. Plot the chirp profile when the pump pulse is 10 ps<br />

wide and is launch<strong>ed</strong> into a 1-km-long fiber with 10-W peak power. Assume<br />

γ = 2W −1 /km for the probe and d = 0.1 ps/m.<br />

7.8 Make a figure similar to Figure 7.3 using the same parameter values but assume<br />

that both pulses have “sech” shapes.<br />

7.9 Explain why XPM produces a shift in the wavelength of a 0.53-μm probe pulse<br />

when a 1.06-μm pump pulse is launch<strong>ed</strong> with it simultaneously (no initial time<br />

delay). Can you pr<strong>ed</strong>ict the sign of a wavelength shift for standard optical fibers?<br />

7.10 Write a computer program using the split-step Fourier method and solve Eqs.<br />

(7.4.18) and (7.4.19) numerically. Reproduce the results shown in Figure 7.6.<br />

7.11 Use the program develop<strong>ed</strong> for the prec<strong>ed</strong>ing problem to study XPM-induc<strong>ed</strong><br />

pulse compression. Reproduce the results shown in Figure 7.9.<br />

7.12 Use the third-order instantaneous nonlinear response of silica fibers and derive<br />

Eq. (7.6.3) when the total optical field is of the form given in Eq. (7.6.1).<br />

7.13 Derive the vector form of the nonlinear coupl<strong>ed</strong> equations given in Eqs. (7.6.5)<br />

and (7.6.6) using Eqs. (7.6.3) and (7.6.4).<br />

7.14 Write a computer program (using MATLAB or other software) and solve Eqs.<br />

(7.6.7) and (7.6.8) numerically. Use it to reproduce the results shown in Figures<br />

7.11 and 7.12.<br />

7.15 Write a computer program (using MATLAB or other software) and solve Eqs.<br />

(7.6.18) and (7.6.19) numerically. Use it to reproduce the results shown in Figures<br />

7.14 and 7.15.<br />

7.16 Derive the dispersion relation for XPM-induc<strong>ed</strong> modulation instability starting<br />

from Eqs. (7.7.15) and (7.7.16). Assume that one of the CW beams is polariz<strong>ed</strong><br />

along the slow axis while the other beam is linearly polarization at an angle θ<br />

from that axis.
