Influence of cross-phase modulation on soliton switching in nonlinear optical fibers.

TLDR

Abstract
The effect of cross-phase modulation (CPM) on the soliton switching in fiber nonlinear couplers is analyzed by studying the evolution of the soliton parameters at different values of the ratio σ between the CPM and self-phase modulation contributions. It is shown that the CPM effect may sufficiently modify the switching characteristics, and perfect switching is always achieved for σ → 1 when the model becomes exactly integrable. The main conclusions of the present analysis are confirmed by numerical simulations.

Pulse propagation in an elliptically birefringent Kerr medium

TL;DR: In this paper, the coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equation for optical propagation in a birefringent Kerr medium was derived with particular emphasis on optical fibers and it was shown that shadows form when two pulses of opposite polarization interact, i.e., the emerging pulses no longer have their original polarizations.
