Soliton Dynamics in a Birefringent Optical Fiber

Abstract

Long-distance solitons maintain their form and speed. Single mode optical fiber exhibits birefringence as a result of its asymmetric core's effect on the refractive index. The soliton pulse is broadened and chirped as it travels through a birefringent optical fiber due to many features of the fiber. Therefore, it is necessary to strike a balance between the elements influencing the transmission to guarantee minimal data loss. This work uses OptiSysten software to strike a balance between the length, effective area, soliton period, and attenuation effects that affect the performance of the soliton while employing optical fiber as a birefringent optical fiber. Based on this research, a set of values for these parameters that minimizes widening and chirping was determined. The simulation findings are compared to the mathematical and analytical combination of soliton, which is based on the coupled non-linear Schrodinger equation. Although previous works on soliton had demonstrated the impact of GVD and SPM on the transmission, this paper aids comprehension by including additional performance-affecting characteristics.
