Spatiotemporal optical solitons in planar waveguide with periodically modulated cubic-quintic nonlinearity

Abstract

The propagation and stability of spatiotemporal optical solitons (or optical bullets) in a planar waveguide with periodically modulated cubic-quintic nonlinearity is studied numerically as a function of the amplitudes of modulation (A m ), the frequency of modulation (ω m ) and the propagation distance z. The optical spatiotemporal solitons are the result of the balance between the nonlinear parameters, of dispersion (dispersion length, L D ) and diffraction (diffraction length, L d ) with temporal and spatial auto-focusing behavior respectively. With the objective of ensure the stability and preventing the collapse or the spreading of pulses, in this study we explore the cubic-quintic nonlinearity with the optical fields coupled by XPM and take into account several values for the non linear parameter α and for amplitudes (A m ) and frequency (ω m ) of modulation as a function of the propagation distance z and we cause the collisions of two pulses (envelope of the optical field) to ensure that the optical pulse are solitons. After numerical analysis of parameter settings selected four conditions and for all we get stable solitons and this paper shown that, for a fixed amplitude and frequency of modulation we have stable spatiotemporal solitons.
