Abstract

The effects of fourth-order dispersion on optical-fiber-guided ultrashort solitons are examined. It is shown that the solitons decay as a result of dispersive radiation, the nature of which is analyzed. An exact pulse solution is presented, and its properties are evaluated. Finally, the combined effects of fourth-order dispersion and intrapulse Raman scattering are discussed.
