Solitons in Communication and Switching Systems

提出了基于孤子的两种光学系统的计算机模拟方法。第一个是远程通信系统，第二个是超高速环网中的一个节点。系统模拟代码将以模块化方式建立，以便在其开发的每个阶段都能提取科学上有趣和技术上有用的结果。提案中描述了发展设想和将涉及的科学问题。拟议工作的价值既在于制定了将向科学界成员普遍提供的准则，也在于我们打算解决的科学问题。我们的工作将以与适当的实验者密切合作为特点。

It is proposed to develop computer simulations of two optical systems based on solitons. The first is a long-distance communication system, and the second is a node in an ultra-fast ring network. The system simulation codes will be built in a modular way so that scientifically interesting and technologically useful results can be extracted at every stage of their development. Development scenarios and the scientific questions which will be addressed are described in the proposal. The value of the proposed work lies both in the codes developed which will be made generally available to members of the scientific community, and in the scientific issues which we intend to resolve. Our work will be characterized by close cooperation with appropriate experimentalists.
