Linearons: highly non-instantaneous solitons in liquid-core photonic crystal fibers

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

The nonlinear propagation of light pulses in liquid-filled photonic crystal fibers is considered. Due to the slow reorientational nonlinearity of some molecular liquids, the nonlinear modes propagating inside such structures can be approximated, for pulse durations much shorter than the molecular relaxation time, by temporally highly-nonlocal solitons, analytical solutions of a linear Schroedinger equation. The physical relevance of these novel solitary structures, which may have a broad range of applications, is discussed and supported by detailed numerical simulations.
