Theory of the soliton self-frequency shift
Abstract
Raman effects cause a continuous downshift of the mean frequency of pulses propagating in optical fibers. For solitons in silica fibers, the effect varies roughly with the inverse fourth power of the pulse width. At 1.5-microm wavelength in a fiber with 15 psec/nm/km time-of-flight dispersion, a soliton of 250-fsec duration is predicted to shift by its own spectral width after about l00m of propagation. The theory agrees well with recent measurements.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
