Abstract

Soliton collisions in birefringent optical fibers have been investigated numerically. It is found that soliton collisions can be divided into three kinds of behavior depending on the value of the linear birefringence. Both soliton mixing and soliton center-frequency shifts have been studied in detail. A new kind of soliton state has been found. The [hacek C]erenkov emission generated by soliton collision has also been found numerically.

All-optical switching by means of collisions of spatial vector solitons

Journal Article Cao, X D ; Meyerhofer, D D - Optics Letters; (United States)

The collisions of spatial vector solitons have been investigated numerically. Both the polarization and propagation directions of the solitons are changed after collision, which could be useful in the applications of all-optical switching. It is also found that both the polarization mixing and the beam deflection become exponentially smaller as [theta] increases. The advantages of using vector solitons in optical switching are discussed.

Threshold of polarization instability for solitons in birefringent fibers

Book Nesterov, L ; Kondrat`ev, Y ; Nolan, D

The threshold of polarization instability for solitons in birefringent fibers has been calculated analytically. The problem was studied when the polarization state of the soliton is oriented along one principal axis and the polarization state of the perturbation is oriented along the other. The instability threshold corresponds to the soliton field intensity which causes the exponential growing of the perturbation. The authors have shown for the first time that this problem can be solved exactly under the assumption that the influence of group velocity difference between the soliton and the perturbation on the instability threshold is negligible.

Soliton shadows in birefringent optical fibers

Journal Article Wang, Q ; Wai, P K.A. ; Chen, C ; ... - Optics Letters; (United States)

The shadows generated by the interaction of a pair of solitons in a birefringent optical fiber are studied numerically. The amplitudes, widths, and shapes of the shadows are calculated.

Linear Transformation of the Polarization Modes in Coiled Optical Spun-Fibers with Strong Unperturbed Linear Birefringence. I. Nonresonant Transformation

Journal Article Malykin, G. B., E-mail: malykin@ufp.appl.sci-nnov.ru ; Pozdnyakova, V. I. - Optics and Spectroscopy

A linear transformation of orthogonal polarization modes in coiled optical spun-fibers with strong unperturbed linear birefringence, which causes the emergence of the dependences of the integrated elliptical birefringence and the ellipticity and azimuth of the major axis of the ellipse, as well as the polarization state of radiation (PSR), on the length of optical fiber has been considered. Optical spun-fibers are subjected to a strong mechanical twisting, which is frozen into the structure of the optical fiber upon cooling, in the process of being drawn out from the workpiece. Since the values of the local polarization parameters of coiled spunwaveguidesmore »« less

Effects of randomly varying birefringence on soliton interactions in optical fibers

Journal Article Wai, P K.A. ; Menyuk, C R ; Chen, H H - Optics Letters; (United States)

The effects of randomly varying birefringence on soliton interactions in optical fibers are studied. It is shown that for initial separations of less than 10 pulse widths, the phase-dependent short-range interaction dominates. For separations larger than 10 pulse widths, the soliton interacts through the dispersive radiation that they generate. This interaction is too weak to explain the phase-independent long-range soliton interaction observed experimentally.
