Phase space characterization of solitons with the Wigner transform

Abstract Envelope solitons are investigated in phase space. All envelope solitons (bright, black, gray) have analytical Wigner transforms (WT) in the time-frequency phase space. Several properties of the Wigner transform and its moments have been derived and used to test an optical source claimed to generate solitons.
