Raman perturbation and surface core soliton in hollow photonic crystal fiber

Effect of Raman scattering and higher order dispersion are investigated in case of surface core or gap solitons, known to exist in hollow core photonic crystal fibers. The necessary conditions for the existence of the soliton are analyzed in the parameter plane. It is observed that these conditions are compatible with the famous Vakhitov-Kolokolov (VK) criterion. In the later part the system of partial differential equations are solved by ETDRK method from which the shapes of the pulses are investigated as it travels along the z direction. Both the terms, intrapulse Raman scattering and higher order dispersion have important effect on the propagation characteristics
