Abstract
We present the compression of Airy pulses in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguides under the fourth-order dispersion (FOD) using the variational approach that involves Rayleigh’s dissipation function (RDF). All the pulse characteristics are under the influence of the two-photon and the frequency-carrier absorptions. In a quasi-linear approximation, the pulse compression conditions induced by the interaction of the group-velocity dispersion (GVD), the chirp and the FOD are derived. In the nonlinear case, the self-phase modulation (SPM), the two-photon absorption (TPA) and the free-carrier absorption (FCA) reduce the length of compression in a propagation regime of normal GVD, positive chirp and a negative value of FOD. The TPA reduces the maximal power reached than the SPM while the FCA rather increases its value. These results are confirmed in the general case where they all interact with the linear dispersion terms of the SOI waveguide.
