title: Raman-induced polarization stabilization of vector solitons in circularly birefringent fibers.
abstract: Vector soliton propagation in circularly birefringent fibers was studied by perturbation analysis and numerically. The results show that in presence of both Raman self-frequency shift and group velocity difference between circularly polarized components the Raman cross-polarization term causes an energy transfer from the slower to the faster circular component of vector solitons. This effect leads to polarization stabilization of circularly polarized vector solitons.
