We report on the stable cancellation of the soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS) in nonlinear optical fibers. A soliton, which scatters a group velocity matched pump wave in a so-called optical event horizon regime, may experience a blueshift in frequency, which counteracts the SSFS induced by Raman scattering. The SSFS can easily be compensated by a suitably prepared pump wave, but usually the compensation is unstable and is destroyed after a certain propagation length. We study this kind of soliton-pump wave interaction by an adiabatic approach and quantify the parameter range in which the stable SSFS compensation is possible. The theory enjoys agreement with numerical simulations of soliton propagation.

By calculating the forces that induce the relative motion between the unequal PQSs, we derive the balanced conditions for maintaining a near-constant separation and the constant phase profile between them. The predictions are validated by the numerical simulations.

The seed source is a passively harmonic mode-locked (HML) fiber laser based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) polymer film. By adjusting the pump power and polarization controller (PC) appropriately, the repetition rate can be tuned up to 1.

We find that the Boson peak will greatly increase the soliton self-frequency shift and contribute even more than the shift induced by the Lorentzian response for certain pulse durations. We also show that the revised Raman shock time is associated with the pulse width even for a relatively long pulse.
