Solitons in Four-Wave Mixing

Abstract

We have extended the work of Kai Druhl, Bob Wenzel and John Carlsten1 on solitons in stimulated Raman scattering to include four-wave mixing phenomena. We have studied coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and second Stokes generation (SSG). We have found that CARS exhibits a soliton-like structure, whereas SSG exhibits a real soliton. Analytic solitons have been used to verify our interpretation of the numerical results.
