Asymptotic analysis for dispersion-managed solitons in birefringent fibers

摘要

The higher order multiple-scale asymptotic analysis is carried out for the vector nonlinear Schrodinger's equation that governs the propagation of solitons through a birefringent optical fiber. The averaged equation, with the inclusion of higher order terms, significantly improves the description of the soliton characteristics in a birefringent fiber.
