چکیده
We show that pairwise soliton collisions in N>2 intensity-coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations can be reduced to pairwise soliton collisions in two coupled equations. The reduction applies to a wide class of systems, including the N-component Manakov system. This greatly simplifies the analysis of such systems and has important implications for the application of soliton collisions to all-optical computing.

Exact soliton solutions of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations: shape-changing collisions, logic gates, and partially coherent solitons.
The different dynamical features underlying soliton interactions in coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations, which model multimode wave propagation under varied physical situations in nonlinear optics, are studied. In this paper, by explicitly constructing multisoliton solutions (up to four-soliton solutions) for two-coupled and arbitrary N-coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations using the Hiro...
متن کاملHelical versus Fundamental Solitons in Optical Fibers
We consider solitons in a nonlinear optical fiber with a single polarization in a region of parameters where it carries exactly two distinct modes, viz., the fundamental one and the first-order helical mode. From the viewpoint of applications to dense-WDM communication systems, this opens way to double the number of channels carried by the fiber. Aside from that, experimental observation of hel...
متن کاملResonance- and phase-induced window sequences in vector-soliton collisions
In this Letter, we report two new discoveries in vector-soliton collisions of the nonintegrable coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations. The first discovery is that, at low cross-phase-modulational coefficients, a sequence of reflection windows similar to that in the φ4 model appears in the collision of two orthogonally polarized and equal-amplitude solitons. This window sequence is caused by a...
متن کاملInteractions of vector solitons.
In this paper, we study the interaction of two widely separated vector solitons in the nonintegrable coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations. Using a modification of Karpman-Solov'ev perturbation method, we derive dynamical equations for the evolution of both solitons' internal parameters. We show that these dynamical equations allow fixed points that correspond to stationary two-vector-s...
متن کاملStrong coupling of Schrödinger equations: Conservative scheme approach
The system of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger’s equations (CNLSE) is considered and the physical meaning of the coupling terms is identified. The attention is focused on the case of real-valued parameter of linear cross-diffusion. A new analytical solution for the coupled case is found and used as initial condition for the interaction and evolution of two pulses. Conservative numerical scheme and...
