Abstract
An out-of-phase soliton distribution of the wave field is found for a multicore fiber (MCF) from an even number of cores located in a ring. Its stability is proved with respect both to small wave-field perturbations, including azimuthal ones, and to small deformations of the MCF structure. As an example of using this soliton distribution, the problem of laser pulse compression in an active MCF is studied. The optimal fiber parameters, the minimum duration of the output pulse, and the compression length are found, and they are in good agreement with the results of numerical simulation. In order to achieve high energies in the output laser pulse, the requirements for MCF deformations are determined.
