Abstract
It is shown that a nonlinear Schrödinger soliton behaves stochastically with random phases in both time and space in the presence of small external oscillating fields and emits small-amplitude plane waves with random phases. Statistical properties of random phases give the energy spectra of the soliton and plane waves.Keywords
