Soliton and dispersive wave generation with third-order dispersion and temporal boundary.

We investigate the pulse evolution and energy conservation condition at the temporal boundary under third-order dispersion. When the fundamental soliton crosses the temporal boundary and forms two reflected pulses and one transmitted pulse, the power of the transmitted pulse first increases and then decreases as the incident spectrum shifts toward the blue side. If the transmitted spectrum lies in the anomalous group-velocity dispersion region, second-order soliton is formed and dispersive wave is radiated. We present a modified phase-matching condition to predict the resonance frequencies. The predicted results are in good agreement with the results obtained by numerically solving the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
