Soliton fusion and fission for the high-order coupled nonlinear Schrodinger system in fiber lasers

With the rapid development of communication technology, optical fiber communication has become a key research area in communications. When there are two signals in the optical fiber, the transmission of them can be abstracted as a high-order coupled nonlinear Schrodinger system. In this paper, by using the Hirota's method, we construct the bilinear forms, and study the analytical solution of three solitons in the case of focusing interactions. In addition, by adjusting different wave numbers for phase control, we further discuss the influence of wave numbers on soliton transmissions. It is verified that wave numbers k (11), k (21), k (31), k (22), and k (32) can control the fusion and fission of solitons. The results are beneficial to the study of all-optical switches and fiber lasers in nonlinear optics.
