Dynamics of Gaussian and Super-Gaussian Solitons in Birefringent Optical Fibers

Abstract—The variational principle is employed to obtain the parameters dynamics of Gaussian and super-Gaussian chirped solitons which propagates through birefringent optical fibers that is governed by the dispersion-managed vector nonlinear Schrödinger’s equation. The waveform deviates from that of a classical soliton. The periodically changing strong chirp of such a soliton reduces the effective nonlinearity that is necessary for balancing the local dispersion. This study is extended to obtain the adiabatic evolution of the parameters of such
