“…1 2 In studying optical solitons, many researchers typically use Gaussian pulses in theoretical and experimental work. [3][4][5] Gaussian pulses propagated in fibre ring resonators can generate multisoliton pulses. 6 Numerous experimental and theoretical investigations focus on solitons in nonlinear single-mode optical fibres because of their intriguing potential applications in optical communications.…”

A novel system for generating dark-bright solitons is proposed. The system uses a PANDA ring resonator incorporated with an add/drop filter system. With resonant conditions, chaotic signals are generated from the through and drop ports of the PANDA system and then propagated in the add/drop filter system. Simulation results show that inputting Gaussian pulses in the system generates and controls highly dark-bright signals. To increase system capacity and obtain the required channel signals, we select 20, 100, and 400 m as the radii of the add/drop filter system. The central wavelength of input power is 1.55 m, by which ultrashort dark-bright soliton pulses are generated. The simulation results for the wavelength-dependent soliton pulses show full widths at half maximum (FWHMs) of 2.1, 0.42, and 0.11 nm, as well as free spectral ranges (FSRs) of 5.75, 1.15, and 0.29 nm. These values correspond to 20, 100, and 400 m, respectively. The simulated time-dependent soliton pulses have FWHMs of 8.1, 9.2, and 15.3 ps with a constant FSR of 25 ps. A maximum output power of 80 W can be obtained from the drop port of the PANDA system.

“…It is envisaged that the large output power of high harmonic generation can be achieved more readily with the use of high peak pump power densities from the pulsed lasers. Furthermore, it has been widely reported that ultrafast pulse shaping was applied to many fields such as ultrafast nonlinear fiber optics [5], optical communication networks [6], chirped pulse amplification [7], the coherent control of atomic and molecular processes [8], as well as coherent control in a chemical reaction [9].…”

Theoretical investigation on the temporal and spectral distributions of cascade third harmonic generation in a quasiperiodically optical superlattice is presented. Pulse shaping and integrated energy conversion are studied, for both input transform-limited and chirped pulses, as well as for both phase matched and phase mismatched configurations. Not only the phase mismatch between the center frequencies of the fundamental and harmonic pulses but also the group velocity mismatches (GVM) among the interacting pulses are considered. The pulse shaping features consisting of a multiplicity in phase and amplitude are observed. Additionally, there are some interesting phenomena in harmonic energy conversion, which provide more flexibility for harmonic generations in the ultrashort pulse range.

“…[1] and references therein ). Recent experimental achievments [2] demonstrate a possibility of real applications to construct soliton-based communication networks. In communication systems it is desirable to work near the zero-group-dispersion (ZGD) point [3], where the second-order dispersion is zero, because there the power required for creating bright solitons is significantly lower.…”

We prove the existence of anti-dark-solitons, i.e. , dark solitons of the reverse sign of the amplitude, near the zero-group-dispersion wavelength of normally dispersive optical fibers using direct numerical simulations of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation which includes the third-order dispersion. These solitons were predicted earlier in the small-amplitude limit [ Yu. S. Kivshar, Phys. Rev. A 43, 1677(1991] and they may exist only for a certain propagation direction, so that the interaction of dark and anti-dark-solitons propagating in opposite directions is possible; this is probably the only possibility to observe direct collisions of dark and bright solitons. We investigate the collision numerically and demonstrate that it looks elastic at least for small-amplitude solitons.
