Three soliton interactions and the implementation of their all optical switching function

Abstract

Abstract As a key component in all optical networks, all optical switches play a role in constructing all optical switching. Due to the absence of photoelectric conversion, all optical networks can overcome the constraints of electronic bottlenecks, thereby improving communication speed and expanding their communication bandwidth. This paper is based on the interactions among three optical solitons to study all optical switches. By analytically solving the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the three soliton solution of the equation is obtained. We discuss the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of various optical solitons under different initial conditions. Meanwhile, we analyze the influence of relevant physical parameters on the realization of all optical switching function during the process of three soliton interactions. The relevant conclusions will be beneficial for expanding network bandwidth and reducing power consumption to meet the growing demand for bandwidth and traffic.
