Abstract

We investigate the nonlinear pulse propagation through an inhomogeneous single-mode optical fiber where the evolution dynamics is governed by the generalized higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with varying group velocity dispersion, cubic and quintic nonlinearities, self-frequency shift arising from stimulated Raman scattering, and linear gain or loss. A new class of soliton pulse solutions for a wave field is constructed based on the similarity transformation connecting with the constant-coefficient Kundu–Eckhaus equation. This class describes soliton structures that propagate self-similarity on a continuous-wave (cw) background, and acquires a nonlinear chirp as it propagates in the inhomogeneous fiber medium. It is found that the nonlinear chirp associated with these self-similar pulses originates essentially from the self-frequency shift effect. The conditions on fiber parameters for the existence of those nonlinearly chirped self-similar localized pulses are also given. As a practical example, we studied their evolution dynamics in a specified soliton control system. The solution stability against perturbation is checked by direct numerical simulation. © 2022 Elsevier GmbH
