BREAK UP OF N-SOLITON BOUND STATES DUE TO INTRAPULSE RAMAN SCATTERING AND THIRD-ORDER DISPERSION : AN EIGENVALUE ANALYSIS

Abstract By using a numerical Zakharov-Shabat eigenvalue analysis we study the effect of third-order dispersion (TOD) and intrapulse Raman scattering (IRS) on Satsuma-Yajima N -soliton bound states (NSBS). Two stages of bound state break up can be identified. Moreover, we show that even a weak TOD considerably reduces the self-frequency shift caused by IRS.
