Abstract: A mathematical framework is presented to study the evolution of multi-point cumulants in nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations with random input data, based on the theory of weak wave turbulence (WWT). This framework is used to explain how energy is distributed among Fourier modes in the nonlinear Schr"odinger equation. This is achieved by considering interactions among four Fourier modes and studying the role of the resonant, non-resonant, and trivial quartets in the dynamics. As an application, a power spectral density is suggested for calculating the interference power in dense wavelength-division multiplexed optical systems, based on the kinetic equation of the WWT. This power spectrum, termed the Kolmogorov-Zakharov (KZ) model, results in a better estimate of the signal spectrum in optical fiber, compared with the so-called Gaussian noise (GN) model. The KZ model is generalized to non-stationary inputs and multi-span optical systems.
