Bound-state solitons for a non-linear Schrödinger system with the negatively coherent coupling in a weakly birefringent fiber

Abstract

In this paper, we study a non-linear Schrödinger system with the negatively coherent coupling in a weakly birefringent fiber for two orthogonally polarized optical pulses. With respect to the slowly-varying envelopes of two interacting optical modes and based on the existing binary Darboux transformation, we obtain four types of the bound-state solitons: degenerate-I, degenerate-II, degenerate–non-degenerate, and non-degenerate–non-degenerate bound-state solitons. We graphically analyze the interactions between the degenerate or non-degenerate solitons and four types of the bound-state solitons. When the degenerate solitons interact with the bound-state solitons, amplitudes and widths of the degenerate solitons remain unchanged. When the non-degenerate solitons interact with the bound-state solitons, amplitudes and widths of the bound-state solitons remain unchanged.
