Abstract

An equation is derived for analyzing the self-action of a wave packets with few optical cycles in multicore fibers (MCF). A new class of stable out-of-phase spatio-temporal solitons with few cycle durations in the MCF with cores located in a ring is found and analyzed. The stability boundary of the obtained solutions is determined. As an example of using such solitons, we considered the problem of their self-compression in the process of multisoliton dynamics in the MCF. The formation of laser pulses with a duration of few optical cycles at the output of a ten-core MCF is shown.
