Effects of third-order dispersion on dispersion-managed solitons

چکیده
We present a comprehensive study of the effects of third-order dispersion (TOD) on dispersion-managed (DM) solitons. The two main effects of TOD are creation of asymmetry of the DM soliton’s profile and generation of continuum radiation. Considering these two effects, we derive a conservative bound on the magnitude of TOD below which it will not have a significant detrimental effect on DM solitons over transoceanic distances. We also calculate the shifts in the DM soliton’s position and central frequency that are due to TOD. Finally, we discuss a novel possibility of observing a nonradiating soliton in DM systems with TOD. © 1999 Optical Society of America [S0740-3224(99)00709-2] OCIS codes: 060.5530, 060.2330, 190.4370.

Hamiltonian dynamics of breathers with third-order dispersion
We present a nonperturbative analysis of certain dynamical aspects of breathers (dispersion-managed solitons) including the effects of third-order dispersion. The analysis highlights the similarities to and differences from the well-known analogous procedures for second-order dispersion. We discuss in detail the phase-space evolution of breathers in dispersion-managed systems in the presence of...
متن کاملCarrier-envelope phase slip of ultrashort dispersion-managed solitons.
The carrier-envelope phase slip of an ultrashort pulse circulating in a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser is analyzed. The laser cavity is modeled by a dispersion- and nonlinearity-managed nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The combined contributions to the phase slip induced by nonlinear phase and nonlinear dispersion are found to approach zero for strong dispersion maps. The dependence of the slip o...
متن کاملDispersion management for solitons in a Korteweg-de Vries system.
The existence of "dispersion-managed solitons," i.e., stable pulsating solitary-wave solutions to the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with periodically modulated and sign-variable dispersion is now well known in nonlinear optics. Our purpose here is to investigate whether similar structures exist for other well-known nonlinear wave models. Hence, here we consider as a basic model the variable-co...
متن کاملExponential Decay of Dispersion Managed Solitons for Vanishing Average Dispersion
We show that any L solution of the Gabitov-Turitsyn equation describing dispersion managed solitons decay exponentially in space and frequency domains. This confirms in the affirmative Lushnikov’s conjecture of exponential decay of dispersion managed solitons.
متن کاملEffect of third-order dispersion on dark solitons.
Third-order dispersion has a detrimental effect on dark solitons, leading to resonant generation of growing soliton tails and soliton decay. This effect is shown to be much stronger than that for bright solitons.
