Solitons are stable localized wave packets that can propagate long distance in dispersive
media without changing their shapes. As particle-like nonlinear localized waves, solitons …

The stability of nonlinear waves has a distinguished history and an abundance of richly
structured yet accessible examples, which makes it not only an important subject but also an …

We present novel stable solutions which are soliton pairs and trains of the 1D complex
Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE), and analyze them. We propose that the distance …

Despite remarkable developments in the field, a detailed treatment of non-Kerr law media
has not been published. Introduction to non-Kerr Law Optical Solitons is the first book …

5. Optical Solitons in Fibers Page 1 5. Optical Solitons in Fibers In this chapter we describe
various properties of optical solitons. 5.1 Soliton Solutions and the Results of Inverse Scattering …

Mode-locked lasers have been widely used to explore interactions between optical solitons,
including bound-soliton states that may be regarded as “photonic molecules”. Conventional …

We have experimentally investigated the soliton interaction in a passively mode-locked fiber
ring laser and revealed the existence of three types of strong soliton interaction: a global …

The propagation of pulses in ideal nonlinear optical fibers without loss is governed by the
nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS). When considering realistic fibers one must examine …

Time-localized solitary wave solutions of the one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau
equation (CGLE) are analyzed for the case of normal group-velocity dispersion. Exact …

Optical-fiber transmission of pulses can be modeled with the complex Ginzburg–Landau
equation. We find novel stable soliton pairs and trains, which are relevant in this case, and …
