In this research, the potential use of semiconductor nanostructures as optical field sources to optimize the propagation of lossless pulses along non-linear optical fibers is studied. During this investigation, we propose the external excitation of a set of semiconductor SQD points through a source of optical pulses, giving rise to the generation of solitonic pulses that propagate through an optical fiber with non-linear optical characteristics. Theoretically, soliton formation studied from the non-linear interaction between SQD and external optical excitation. In the study, the non-linear Schrödinger NLSE equation solved numerically using the Fourier Split-Step method to understand the evolution of the soliton emitted for SQD within an optical fiber with real physical parameters.
