Nondegenerate solitons have been demonstrated in recent years that they potentially allow a further increase of information transmission rates in optical communication due to their stable double-hump structures. In this paper, the femtosecond nondegenerate solitons in optical fibers which are described by the coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equations, are investigated. Analytical nondegenerate soliton solutions are constructed by the developing Hirota method. And the constraints for stable double-hump structures are put forward. Furthermore, soliton molecules and asymmetric solitons are also found as the new types of nondegenerate solitons. The interactions between two nondegenerate solitons are studied in their propagation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
