Abstract

We show that a weak Airy pulse can be used to manipulate the dynamics of an optical soliton when propagating at a different wavelength. Our results indicate that an Airy wave packet is considerably more effective in controlling the arrival time of a soliton than a corresponding Gaussian pulse. The nature of these interactions is systematically explored as a function of the initial parameters used and is illustrated using pertinent examples. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
