Quasi-particle theory of optical soliton interaction

The intra-channel collision of optical solitons, with non-Kerr law nonlinearities, is studied in this paper by the aid of quasi-particle theory. The perturbations terms that are considered in this paper are both of Hamiltonian as well as non-Hamiltonian type. The suppression of soliton-soliton interaction, in presence of these perturbation terms, is achieved. The nonlinearities that are studied in this paper are Kerr, power, parabolic and dual-power laws. The numerical simulations support the quasi-particle theory.
