Optimize Nonlinear Effects on Fundamental and High-order Soliton in Photonic Crystal Fiber

Abstract

Nonlinear effects in optical fibers are mainly caused by two sources: inelastic scattering behaviour or the intensity sensitivity of the medium's refractive index. The propagation process in photonic crystal fibers is more complex than the propagation process of first-order solitons, second-order solitons, and third-order solitons. This article discusses the effects of propagation on first-, second- and third-order solitons. A popular approach to supercontinuum generation through soliton fission is the higher-order soliton technique for spectral generation.
