High-energy soliton fission dynamics in multimode GRIN fiber

Opt Express. 2020 Jul 6;28(14):20473-20488. doi: 10.1364/OE.394896.

Abstract

The process of high-energy soliton fission is experimentally and numerically investigated in a graded-index multimode fiber. Fission dynamics is analyzed by comparing experimental observations and simulations. A novel nonlinear propagation regime is observed, where solitons produced by the fission have a nearly constant Raman wavelength shift and same pulse width over a wide range of soliton energies.
