Generation of dark solitons by interaction between similaritons in Raman fiber amplifiers
Résumé
We present a new method to generate dark soliton trains by exploiting the interaction between two time-delayed optical similaritons with the same wavelength. The temporal overlap of two similariton pulses creates a sinusoidal beating which subsequently evolves into an ultrahigh repetition-rate train of dark solitons through the combined effects of normal dispersion, nonlinearity, and adiabatic Raman gain. The experimental results are in good agreement with numerical predictions. We also investigate how the the repetition rate of the dark soliton train depends on the time separation between the initial pulses, the initial pulse energy, and the Raman gain. Finally, we numerically study the interaction between three similaritons of the same wavelength.
