Influence of the Raman effect on bound states of dissipative solitons
Abstract:
The influence of the Raman effect on bound states of dissipative solitons is investigated theoretically by means of numerical simulations and an analytical model. The numerical simulations show that the Raman effect modifies the group velocity of a bound state of solitons differently from that of a single soliton, in agreement with experimental results obtained with fiber lasers. The results are interpreted in terms of two distinct mechanisms acting within the bound state, the Raman-induced self and cross-frequency shifts. The implication of this effect on the phenomenon of soliton collisions in fiber lasers is discussed.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...

Band Formation:
When atoms are brought close together, as in a solid, these discrete energy levels begin to split due to the overlap of electron orbitals from adjacent atoms. This split occurs because of the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two...
Atomic Nuclei: Types of Nuclear Relaxation
In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers energy to a nearby...
