Abstract
Detailed numerical and experimental studies of propagation of laser pulses at in small-core photonic crystal fibers reveal that pulse breakup occurs in two distinct regimes defined by the input power. At low peak power (soliton order ) higher-order soliton fission occurs: individual solitons being ejected from the input pulse one after the other and are arranged in wavelength and in time by peak power. At higher levels of peak power , pulse breakup results in ejection of bound soliton pairs and the formation of single solitons that collide during propagation.
