Generation of the self-similar parabolic pulses by designing comb-like profiled dispersion fiber based on alternately arranged single-mode fibers and dispersion-shifted fibers

Based on the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the linearly chirped parabolic pulse generation in the dispersion decreasing fiber with normal dispersion, a novel scheme for the generation of the self-similar parabolic pulse via a comb-like profiled dispersion fiber with normal group-velocity dispersion has been proposed and the corresponding model is established. We study, analytically and numerically, the evolution of the self-similar parabolic pulse in comb-like profiled dispersion fiber with dispersion profile close to that of the dispersion decreasing fiber, and the influence of different initial energies and pulse widths on the linearly chirped parabolic pulse formation in the comb-like profiled dispersion fiber. The results show that the evolution of the self-similar parabolic pulses can realized in the comb-like profiled dispersion fiber, the results of which are in good agreement with these of the dispersion decreasing fiber, and the best-matched scheme of designing and optimizing comb-like profiled dispersion fiber will help to obtain the ideal similaritons.
