Soliton propagation in optical devices with two-component fields: a comparative study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of solitonlike pulse propagation in optical fiber devices with two-component fields is studied. Two examples, viz., propagation of pulses in birefringent optical fibers and in nonlinear couplers, are considered. It is shown that radiation processes play an essential role in the soliton dynamics in two-component field fiber devices. Radiation influences the transformation of the main pulses in different ways in the two cases considered. The influence of radiation is stronger when the soliton is closer to the point of bifurcation or the separatrix and weaker when it is far from it.

All-Optical Reconfigurable-Tunable 1×N Power Splitter Using Soliton Breakup
In this paper, we numerically simulated a glass-based all-optical 1×N power splitter with eleven different configurations using soliton breakup in a nonlinear medium. It is shown that in addition to reconfigurability of the proposed splitter, its power splitting ratio is tunable up to some extent values too. Nonlinear semivectorial iterative finite difference beam propagation method (IFD-...
متن کاملPropagation of Incoherently Coupled Soliton Pairs in Photorefractive Crystals and their Self-Deflection
Propagation of incoherently soliton pairs in photorefractive crystals under steady-state conditions is studied. These soliton states can be generated when the two mutually incoherent optical beams with the same polarization and wavelength incident on the biased photorefractive crystal. Such soliton pairs can exist in bright-bright, dark-dark, gray-gray as well as in bright-dark types. In this p...
متن کاملSpatial soliton pairs in an unbiased photovoltaic-photorefractive crystal circuit
: Optical separate spatial dark and bright soliton pairs in steady-state case in one dimension, for a series circuit consisting of two-photon photorefractive (PR) crystal are investigated. Each crystal can be supported the spatial soliton, and at least one must be photovoltaic. The two solitons are known collectively as separate spatial soliton pairs with dark–dark, bright–dark and bright–brigh...
متن کاملSpatial vector solitons consisting of counterpropagating fields.
We present the experimental observation of a spatial vector soliton formed by counterpropagation of coherent optical fields. This is to our knowledge the first observation of a vector soliton in which the induced waveguide (potential) is periodic in the propagation direction. This vector soliton induces a waveguide and a thick grating within the waveguide, which can be used as a tunable optical...
متن کاملObservation of temporal vector soliton propagation and collision in birefringent fiber.
We report the experimental observation of temporal vector soliton propagation and collision in a linearly birefringent optical fiber. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is both the first demonstration of temporal vector solitons with two mutually incoherent component fields, and of vector soliton collisions in a Kerr nonlinear medium. Collisions are characterized by an intensity redist...
