We demonstrate the use of a graded-index perfluorinated optical fiber (GI-POF) for distributed static and dynamic strain measurements based on Rayleigh scattering. The system is based on an amplitude-based phase-sensitive Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry (ϕ-OTDR) configuration, operated at the unconventional wavelength of 850 nm. Static strain measurements have been carried out at a spatial resolution of 4 m and for a strain up to 3.5% by exploiting the increase of the backscatter Rayleigh coefficient consequent to the application of a tensile strain, while vibration/acoustic measurements have been demonstrated for a sampling frequency up to 833 Hz by exploiting the vibration-induced changes in the backscatter Rayleigh intensity time-domain traces arising from coherent interference within the pulse. The reported tests demonstrate that polymer optical fibers can be used for cost-effective multiparameter sensing.

We construct four types of analytical soliton solutions for the higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with distributed coefficients. These solutions include bright solitons, dark solitons, combined solitons, and M-shaped solitons. Moreover, the explicit functions which describe the evolution of the width, peak, and phase are discussed exactly.We finally discuss the nonlinear soliton tunnelling effect for four types of femtosecond solitons

In this paper, we investigate the inhomogeneous higher-order nonlinear Schr¨odinger (NLS) equation governing the femtosecond optical pulse propagation in inhomogeneous fibers using gauge transformation and generate bright soliton solutions from the associated linear eigenvalue problem. We observe that the amplitude of the bright solitons depends on the group velocity dispersion (GVD) and the self-phase modulation (SPM) while its velocity is dictated by the third-order dispersion (TOD) and GVD. We have shown how the interplay between GVD, SPM, and TOD can be profitably exploited to change soliton width, amplitude (intensity), shape, phase, velocity, and energy for an effective femtosecond soliton management. The highlight of our paper is the identification of ‘optical similaritons’ arising by virtue of higher-order effects in the femtosecond regime.

This paper studies novel analytical solutions of the extended [Formula: see text]-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation which is also known with [Formula: see text]-dimensional complex Fokas ([Formula: see text]D–CF) system. Fokas derived this system in 1994 by using the inverse spectral method. This model is considered as an icon model for nonlinear pulse propagation in monomode optical fibers. Many novel computational solutions are constructed through two recent analytical schemes (Ansatz and Projective Riccati expansion (PRE) methods). These solutions are represented through sketches in 2D, 3D, and contour plots to demonstrate the dynamical behavior of pulse propagation in breather, rogue, periodic, lump, and solitary characteristics. The stability property of the obtained solutions is examined based on the Hamiltonian system’s properties. The obtained solutions are checked by putting them back into the original equation through Mathematica 12 software.
