Abstract

We investigate the dressed dynamics of two kinds of asymmetric Airy pulses with time-reversed shapes in a relaxing nonlinear medium. Airy tails act as low intensity “dressing” pulses, refuel the Airy main lobe, and modify propagation dynamics of Airy pulses. It is demonstrated that a soliton sheds from the main lobe of Airy pulses and the spectrum maximum intensity is periodically manifested due to the effect of self-phase modulation. The intrinsically asymmetric nature of Airy pulses is revealed through the nonlinear generation of a Raman soliton self-frequency shift and the generation of static solitons driven by the soliton fission processes and the interactions with dressing Airy tails. The resulting Raman-induced frequency shift can be controlled by using time-reversed Airy pulses and varying truncation coefficients. Numerical results show that the frequency shift can be enhanced with a larger input peak power as well.
