Abstract
We propose a new method to strengthen the nonlinear pulses robustness to polarization mode dispersion through modulating the breath oscillation behavior of two principal polarization components of optical pulses. The optical realization of the breath behavior modulation is based on the degenerate four-wave mixing effect in fibers with high birefringence. The breath intensity increases and the periodical breath oscillation distances shorten in the process of breath behavior modulation. It is proved that the breath-modulated pulses have stronger adaptive abilities to polarization mode dispersion than common solitons when propagating in conventional single-mode fibers with random birefringence.
