Abstract

Abstract: We show through numerical simulations that dispersion oscillating fibers can be used for the fusion of fundamental solitons into high-intensity pulse. Three particular cases are considered: fusion of two co-propagating fundamental solitons, fusion of three co-propagating fundamental solitons and merge of two colliding solitons into breather bound state. Generation of high-intensity pulse is associated with the formation of distinct high-amplitude soliton.
