Abstract: | The linear stability problem for a soliton train described by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is exactly solved using a linearization of the Zakharov-Shabat dressing procedure. This problem is reduced to finding a compatible solution of two linear equations. This approach allows the growth rate of the soliton lattice instability and the corresponding eigenfunctions to be found explicitly in a purely algebraic way. The growth rate can be expressed in terms of elliptic functions. Analysis of the dispersion relations and eigerfunctions shows that the solution, which has the form of a soliton train, is stable for defocusing media and unstable for focusing media with arbitrary parameters. Possible applications of the stability results to fiber communication systems are discussed. |
