Soliton-based discriminator of non-coherent optical pulses
  We introduce a concept of noncoherent optical pulse discrimination from a coherent (or partially coherent) signal of the same energy using a phenomenon of soliton generation. The impact of randomisation of the optical signal content on the observable characteristics of solitons generation is examined and quantified for a particular example of rectangular pulse.
