Dynamics of optical solitons in dual-core fibers via two integration schemes

Abstract

This article studies the dynamics of optical solitons in dual-core fibers with group velocity mismatch, group velocity dispersion and linear coupling coefficient under Kerr law nonlinearity via two integration schemes, namely, Q-function scheme and trial solution approach. The Q-function scheme extracts dark and singular 1-soliton solutions, along with the corresponding existence restriction. This scheme, however, fails to retrieve bright 1-soliton solution. Moreover, the trial solution approach extracts bright, dark and singular 1-soliton solutions. The constraint conditions, for the existence of the soliton solutions, are also listed. Additionally, a couple of other solutions known as singular periodic solutions, fall out as a by-product of this scheme. The obtained results have potential applications in the study of solitons based optical communication.
