Optical soliton perturbation with spatio-temporal dispersion having Kerr law nonlinearity by the variational iteration method

Abstract

This paper studies optical soliton perturbation that appears with Kerr law nonlinearity having spatio-temporal dispersion. The numerical scheme adopted is the variational iteration method. The perturbation terms are of Hamiltonian type and stem from inter-modal dispersion, self-steepening and nonlinear dispersion. Both bright and dark solitons are taken into consideration.
