Nonlinear compression of solitary waves in asymmetric twin-core fibers

We demonstrate a different pulse compression technique based on exact solutions to the nonlinear Schrodinger-type equation interacting with a source, variable dispersion, variable Kerr nonlinearity, and variable gain or loss. We show that this model is appropriate for the pulse propagation in asymmetric twin-core fibers. The chirped pulses are compressed due to the nonlinearity as well as dispersion management as also due to the space dependence of the gain coefficient. We also obtain singular solitary wave solutions, pertaining to extreme increase of the amplitude due to self-focusing.
