Interplay Between Dispersion and Nonlinearity in Femtosecond Soliton Management

چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the inhomogeneous higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation governing the femtosecond optical pulse propagation in inhomogeneous fibers using gauge transformation and generate bright soliton solutions from the associated linear eigenvalue problem. We observe that the amplitude of the bright solitons depends on the group velocity dispersion (GVD) and the self-phase modulation (SPM) while its velocity is dictated by the third-order dispersion (TOD) and GVD. We have shown how the interplay between GVD, SPM, and TOD can be profitably exploited to change soliton width, amplitude (intensity), shape, phase, velocity, and energy for an effective femtosecond soliton management. The highlight of our paper is the identification of ‘optical similaritons’ arising by virtue of higher-order effects in the femtosecond regime.

In this paper, we investigate the evolution of supercontinuum and femtosecond optical pulses generation through square lattice elliptical-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) at 1550 nm by using both full-vector multipole method (M.P.M) and novel concrete algorithms: symmetric split-step Fourier (SSF) and fourth order Runge Kutta (RK4) which is an accurate method to solve the general nonlinear...
متن کاملNonlinearity management: a route to high-energy soliton fiber lasers
We propose the use of self-defocusing nonlinearities to control nonlinear phase shifts in soliton fiber lasers. By analogy to dispersion management, we refer to this scheme as nonlinearity management. First we describe a map that can be regarded as a combination of nonlinearity management and dispersion management. The map is designed to support solitons in two segments of alternating sign of n...
متن کاملDynamic nonlinear X waves for femtosecond pulse propagation in water.
Recent experiments involving femtosecond pulses in water displayed long-distance propagation analogous to that reported in air. We verify this phenomenon numerically and show that the propagation is dynamic as opposed to self-guided. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the propagation can be interpreted as being due to dynamic nonlinear X waves whose robustness and role in long-distance propagatio...
متن کاملSoliton Switching in Fiber Coupler with Periodically Modulated Dispersion, Coupling Constant Dispersion and Cubic Quintic Nonlinearity
In this paper we present the soliton dynamics in a two port fiber nonlinear directional coupler with periodically modulated dispersion and coupling constant dispersion that arose due to the intermodal dispersion between symmetric and antisymmetric modes of the coupler. The fiber material possessed cubic quintic nonlinearity. The influences of the coupling constant dispersion, periodically modul...
متن کاملDynamic of HNLS Solitons using Compact Split Step Padé Scheme
In this communication, we use a compact split step Padé scheme (CSSPS) to solve the scalar higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation (HNLS) with higher-order linear and nonlinear effects. The second part, consisting of two sections, the first section is dedicated to the study numerically the stabilization of high-order solitons dynamic in optical fibers by compensation or by the interplay of ...
