- ItemCancellation of Raman self-frequency shift for compression of optical pulses(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Pickartz, Sabrina; Brée, Carsten; Bandelow, Uwe; Amiranashvili, ShalvaWe study to which extent a fiber soliton can be manipulated by a specially chosen continuous pump wave. A group velocity matched pump scatters at the soliton, which is compressed due to the energy/momentum transfer. As the pump scattering is very sensitive to the velocity matching condition, soliton compression is quickly destroyed by the soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS). This is especially true for ultrashort pulses: SSFS inevitably impairs the degree of compression. We demonstrate numerically that soliton enhancement can be restored to some extent and the compressed soliton can be stabilized, provided that SSFS is canceled by a second pump wave. Still the available compression degree is considerably smaller than that in the Raman-free nonlinear fibers.
- ItemAsymptotically stable compensation of soliton self-frequency shift(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Pickartz, Sabrina; Bandelow, Uwe; Amiranashvili, ShalvaWe report the cancellation of the soliton self-frequency shift in nonlinear optical fibers. A soliton which interacts with a group velocity matched low intensity dispersive pump pulse, experiences a continuous blue-shift in frequency, which counteracts the soliton selffrequency shift due to Raman scattering. The soliton self-frequency shift can be fully compensated by a suitably prepared dispersive wave. We quantify this kind of soliton-dispersive wave interaction by an adiabatic approach and demonstrate that the compensation is stable in agreement with numerical simulations.
