Abstract
Two basic approximations are used to describe propagation of optical solitons through birefringent optical fibers. In the case of strong birefringence, optical pulses polarized along the slow-x and fast-y axes travel with different group velocities and interact with each other only on collision.1 For weak birefringence, a vector soliton having both x and y components, but propagating with the same group velocity, can be formed.2
