Manipulating vector solitons with super-sech pulse shapes

Abstract

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.
