Abstract

The interactions between optical solitons have obviously effects on the capacity and quality of communication systems, which will lead to the waveform distortion, deterioration of transmission characteristics, reduction in transmission rate and shortening of the transmission distance. In this paper, we will discuss the optical soliton interactions and reduce their interactions to improve the communication quality. The analytic two soliton solutions are derived based on the bilinear method. Four kinds of interactions between optical solitons are analyzed, and the reasons for reducing the interactions between them are obtained. The conclusions of this paper are helpful to enhance the communication quality and provide theoretical support for nonlinear control methods in nonlinear optical systems.
