Interaction of Bragg solitons in fiber gratings
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate numerically the interaction between two copropagating Bragg solitons in a fiber grating. We find that, in the low-intensity limit, the interaction is reminiscent of the nonlinear Schrödinger solitons in that Bragg solitons attract or repel each other, depending on their relative phases. However, the relative phase between two Bragg solitons is found to depend on their initial separation. We discuss the implications of the numerical results for laboratory experiments. © 1999 Optical Society of America [S0740-3224(99)01301-6] OCIS codes: 060.0060, 060.2310, 190.4370, 190.5530, 350.2770.

Nonlinear Fiber Bragg Gratings
In this paper we review some of the dominant topics in fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). The combination of theory and simulations shows that these structures can use in filters, nonlinear fiber optical applications, soliton propagations etc. We discussed the theory of FBGs, grating solitons, Bragg soliton generation in intrinsic media and birefringence effects in FBGs together with some numerical s...
متن کاملGap solitons in Bragg gratings with a harmonic superlat- tice
– Solitons are studied in a model of a fiber Bragg grating (BG) whose local reflectivity is subjected to periodic modulation. The superlattice opens an infinite number of new bandgaps in the model’s spectrum. Averaging and numerical continuation methods show that each gap gives rise to gap solitons (GSs), including asymmetric and double-humped ones, which are not present without the superlattic...
متن کاملA Historical Narrative of Study of Fiber Grating Solitons
A brief historical narrative of the study of grating solitons in fiber Bragg grating is presented from the late 1970’s up to now. The formation of photogeneration gratings in optical fiber by sustained exposure of the core to the interference pattern produced by oppositely propagating modes of argon-ion laser radiation was first reported in 1978. One important nonlinear application of fiber Bra...
متن کاملSimulation and Applications of Nonlinear Fiber Bragg Gratings
We have simulated the behaviors of nonlinear fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). The generalized nonlinear equations governing these structures are solved by a method which uses a Fourier series procedure and a simple iterative method. All of the nonlinear effects are considered. Bragg soliton generation in intrinsic media and birefringence effects in FBGs are studied. We found that the first order di...
متن کاملSolitons in Bragg Gratings with Saturable Nonlinearity
Coupled-mode equations for two waves coupled by the Bragg reflection in the presence of saturable nonlinearity are introduced. Stable solitons and their bound states fill a part of the bandgap, their collisions being quasi-elastic.
