Soliton propagation in materials with saturable nonlinearity

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The propagation of solitons in materials with saturable nonlinearity has been investigated with numerical and analytical methods. It is demonstrated that bistable (or two-state) solitons exist that describe pulses with the same duration but different peak powers. It is proved that both solution branches are stable. The minimum possible pulse duration of a fundamental soliton depending on the saturation parameter has been predicted. The influence of loss and the evolution of high-order solitons are studied.
