Abstract
A variational analysis of dynamics of soliton solution of coupled
nonlinear Schrödinger equations with oscillating terms is made, considering a birefringent fiber with a third-order nonlinearity in the anomalous dispersion frequency
region. This theoretical model predicts optical soliton
oscillations in lossy fibers.
