Modeling Propagation of Chirped Solitons in AN Elliptically Low Birefringent Single-Mode Optical Fiber
Abstract
An analytical description is presented, for the first time, to describe propagation dynamics of chirped solitons in an elliptically low birefringent optical fiber within the framework of a model described by coupled nonlinear Schroedinger equations. Using nonlinear Schroedinger solitons as trial functions in an averaged Lagrangian formulation, a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are derived for various soliton parameters. These ODEs describe chirped soliton dynamics and give a criterion for nonlinear coupling of polarized pulses to form a bound state corresponding to a phase mismatch.
