Abstract

Active interest is taken in polarization and two-wavelength phenomena in soliton propagation. Among intriguing experimental results are the polarization multiplexing [1], soliton logic [2], polarization intensity discrimination [3], polarization mode-locking [4,5], bound state of dark and bright optical solitons [6]. All these effects may be describes (at least qualitatively) by the vector Nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) (1). This equation has a rich variety of solutions, and a lot of stationary (soliton) solutions were found by different analytical approaches (see [7] and references therein).
