This project aims to study the statistics of pulse propagation in noisy systems and analyze the Probability Distribution Function of width, amplitude, and other parameters. The main question is whether the probability distribution becomes steady at large values of z (Nonlinear Dynamical Localization). The team will employ novel theoretical methods such as the Functional Fokker-Planck equation, Weak Turbulence approach, and Instanton method to analyze the Universal equation representing modulation of nonlinear waves in a random medium. The project has potential applications in industrial fiber optics communication technology.
