Abstract
Pulsating soliton (PS) as a local structure of nonlinear systems has induced substantial interest in nonlinear photonics and ultrafast lasers. However, the interaction mechanism between PSs has not been fully studied. Here, the vital role of the asymmetric dispersive wave (DW) in PSs interaction is investigated for the first time. Based on the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CQGLE), we find that the asynchronous pulsating soliton molecule (PSM) composed of strong PSs and weak PSs will produce frequency shift due to the asymmetric DW, and the state of the PS can be transferred through the DW during the collision between PSs and PSM. Moreover, we firstly characterize the PS with asymmetric DW in experiment, and observe the drift of PSM, which agree with our simulation that the asymmetric DW can cause the frequency shift of PSMs. Our results provide new insights into the multi soliton interaction of nonlinear systems.
