Manipulation of Kerr cavity solitons based on projected super-position technique

We report numerical simulation on the Kerr cavity solitons (CSs) manipulation based on projected super-position technique. The CSs are generated in a fiber-based Kerr resonator. The positions and amplitudes of these CSs can be adjusted by setting intra-cavity parameters. By introducing a polarization controller (PC) and an inline polarization beam splitter (PBS) into the system, the CSs can be projected, superposed, and manipulated flexibly to operate with controllable soliton positions and amplitudes. Moreover, depending on the time separation between two polarization components, the number of solitons after projection would change based on different type of CSs.
