Manipulating the Propagation of Solitons with Solid-Core Photonic Bandgap Fibers

Figure 5

(a) Central wavelength of the first ejected soliton 𝑆₁ as a function of propagation distance. (b) Evolution of the soliton 𝑆₁ spectral width as a function of propagation distance. Solid lines and markers, respectively, correspond to numerical simulations and experimental measurements. Inset: numerical simulation of soliton 𝑆₁ peak power (blue solid line, left axis) and of the total photon number (green dashed line, right axis) versus propagation distance.
