Generation of robust temporal soliton trains by the multiple-temporal-compression (MTC) method

We report results of systematic numerical analysis for multiple soliton generation by means of the recently reported multiple temporal compression (MTC) method, and compare its efficiency with conventional methods based on the use of photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) and fused silica waveguides (FSWs). The results show that the MTC method is more efficient to control the soliton fission, giving rise to a larger number of fundamental solitons with high powers, that remain nearly constant over long propagation distances. The high efficiency of the MTC method is demonstrated, in particular, in terms of multiple soliton collisions and the Newton's-cradle phenomenology.

Automated summary

We present the results of a numerical analysis comparing the efficiency of the multiple temporal compression (MTC) method with conventional methods using photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) and fused silica waveguides (FSWs) for generating multiple solitons. The analysis shows that the MTC method is more efficient in controlling soliton fission, resulting in a larger number of high-powered fundamental solitons that remain stable over long distances. The high efficiency of the MTC method is particularly evident in multiple soliton collisions and the Newton's-cradle phenomenology.
