Manipulating vector solitons with super-sech pulse shapes

Abstract

Theoretical simulations about manipulating vector solitons with super-sech pulse shapes are conducted based on an optical fiber system in this manuscript. By changing temporal pulses’ parameters when orthogonally polarized pulses have the same or different input central wavelengths, output modes in orthogonal directions will demonstrate different properties. When input orthogonal modes have the same central wavelength, “2+2” pseudo-high-order vector soliton can be generated when time delay is changed. While under the condition of different central wavelengths, orthogonal pulses with multiple peaks accompanied with two wavelengths can be achieved through varying projection angle, time delay or phase difference. Our simulations are helpful to the study of optical soliton dynamics in optical fiber system.

Modulating anti-dark vector solitons

“…Currently, there are many reports about generating optical fiber vector solitons located in different wavelength regions in ultra-fast fiber laser oscillators. Additionally, analysis of the optical fiber vector soliton's out-cavity modulation has been reported in some previous papers [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. These reports theoretically or experimentally demonstrated modulating optical fiber vector solitons with different pulsed properties in a normal/anomalous dispersion regime.…”
