Breather interactions and higher-order nonautonomous rogue waves for the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger Maxwell–Bloch equations

Under investigation in this paper are the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger Maxwell–Bloch (INLS-MB) equations which model the propagation of optical waves in an inhomogeneous nonlinear light guide doped with two-level resonant atoms. Higher-order nonautonomous breather as well as rogue wave solutions in terms of the determinants for the INLS-MB equations are presented via the n$n$-fold variable-coefficient modified Darboux transformation. The interactions among two nonautonomous breathers are graphically discussed, including the fundamental breather, bound breather, two-breather compression and two-breather evolution, etc. Moreover, several patterns of the higher-order rogue waves are also exhibited, such as the square rogue wave, two- and three-order periodic rogue waves, periodic fission and fusion, two-order stationary rogue waves, and recurrence of the two-order rogue waves. The character of the trajectory of the two-order periodic rogue wave is analyzed. Additionally, a novel type of interaction, namely, the collision between the breather and long-lived rogue waves, is found to be elastic. Our results could be useful for controlling the nonautonomous optical breathers and rogue waves in the inhomogeneous erbium doped fiber.     

Nonautonomous spatiotemporal localized structures in the inhomogeneous optical fibers: Interaction and control

We develop a systematic way to find the similarity transformation and investigate nonautonomous optical similariton dynamics for (n + 1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the inhomogeneous optical fibers. A condition between the parameters of the mediums, which hints a exact balance between the dispersion/diffraction, nonlinearity and the gain/loss, has been obtained. Under this condition the optical similariton transmission in the dispersion-decreasing fibers (DDF) can be exactly controlled by proper dispersion management. Moreover, novel propagation dynamics of bright and dark similaritons on the background waves and optical rogue waves (rogons) in DDF are investigated too.     

Are rogue waves robust against perturbations?

We study the effect of various perturbations on the fundamental rational solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). This solution describes generic nonlinear wave phenomena in the deep ocean, including the notorious rogue waves. It also describes light pulses in optical fibres. We find that the solution can survive at least three types of perturbations that are often used in the physics of nonlinear waves. We show that the rational solution remains rational and localized in each direction, thus representing a modified rogue wave.     

Rogue wave solutions for a generalized nonautonomous nonlinear equation in a nonlinear inhomogeneous fiber

In this paper, we investigate a generalized nonautonomous nonlinear equation which describes the ultrashort optical pulse propagating in a nonlinear inhomogeneous fiber. By virtue of the generalized Darboux transformation, the first- and second-order rogue-wave solutions for the generalized nonautonomous nonlinear equation are obtained, under some variable–coefficient constraints. Properties of the first- and second-order rogue waves are graphically presented and analyzed: When the coefficients are all chosen as the constants, we can observe the some functions, the shapes of wave crests and troughs for the first- and second-order rogue waves change. Oscillating behaviors of the first- and second-order rogue waves are observed when the coefficients are the trigonometric functions.

The rogue waves with a controllable center are reported for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in terms of rational-like functions by using a direct method. The position of these solutions can be controlled by choosing different center parameters and this may describe the possible formation mechanisms for optical, oceanic, and matter rogue wave phenomenon in optical fibres, the deep ocean, Bose-Einstein condensates respectively.

Lax pair and vector semi-rational nonautonomous rogue waves for a coupled time-dependent coefficient fourth-order nonlinear Schr?dinger system in an inhomogeneous optical fiber

Optical fibers are seen in the optical sensing and optical fiber communication. Simultaneous propagation of optical pulses in an inhomogeneous optical fiber is described by a coupled time-dependent coefficient fourth-order nonlinear Schr?dinger system, which is discussed in this paper. For such a system, we work out the Lax pair, Darboux transformation, and corresponding vector semi-rational nonautonomous rogue wave solutions. When the group velocity dispersion(GVD) and fourth-order dispersion(FOD) coefficients are the constants, we exhibit the first-and second-order vector semirational rogue waves which are composed of the four-petalled rogue waves and eye-shaped breathers. Both the width of the rogue wave along the time axis and temporal separation between the adjacent peaks of the breather decrease with the GVD coefficient or FOD coefficient. With the GVD and FOD coefficients as the linear, cosine, and exponential functions, we respectively present the first-and second-order periodic vector semi-rational rogue waves, first-and second-order asymmetry vector semi-rational rogue waves, and interactions between the eye-shaped breathers and the composite rogue waves.

Soliton and Rogue Wave Solution of the New Nonautonomous Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

In this paper, a new type (or the second type) of transformation which is used to map the variable coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger (VCNLS) equation to the usual nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation is given. As a special case, a new kind of nonautonomous NLS equation with a t-dependent potential is
introduced. Further, by using the new transformation and making full use of the known soliton and rogue wave solutions of the usual NLS equation, the corresponding kinds of solutions of a special model of the new nonautonomous NLS equation are discussed respectively. Additionally, through using the new transformation, a new expression, i.e., the non-rational formula, of the rogue wave of a special VCNLS equation is given analytically.
The main differences between the two types of transformation mentioned above are listed by three items.     

Generalized Darboux Transformations,Rogue Waves,and Modulation Instability for the Coherently Coupled Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations in Nonlinear Optics

Nonlinear optics plays a central role in the advancement of optical science and laser‐based technologies. The second‐order rogue‐wave solutions and modulation instability for the coherently coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with the positive coherent coupling in nonlinear optics are reported in this paper. Generalized Darboux transformations for such coupled equations are derived, with which the second‐order rational solutions for the purpose of modelling the rogue waves are obtained. With respect to the slowly‐varying complex amplitudes of two interacting optical modes, it is observed that 1) number of valleys of the second‐order rogue waves increases and peak value of the second‐order rogue wave decreases first and then increases; 2) single‐hump second‐order rogue wave turns into the double‐hump second‐order rogue wave; 3) single‐hump bright second‐order rogue wave turns into the dark second‐order rogue wave and finally becomes the three‐hump bright second‐order rogue wave. Meanwhile, baseband modulation instability through the linear stability analysis is seen.     

Controllable rogue waves in the nonautonomous nonlinear system with a linear potential

Based on the similarity transformation connected the nonautonomous nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the autonomous nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we firstly derive self-similar rogue wave solutions (rational solutions) for the nonautonomous nonlinear system with a linear potential. Then, we investigate the controllable behaviors of one-rogue wave, two-rogue wave and rogue wave triplets in a soliton control system. Our results demonstrate that the propagation behaviors of rogue waves, including postpone, sustainment, recurrence and annihilation, can be manipulated by choosing the relation between the maximum value of the effective propagation distance Z _m and the parameter Z ₀. Moreover, the excitation time of controllable rogue waves is decided by the parameter T ₀.     

Waves that appear from nowhere and disappear without a trace

The title (WANDT) can be applied to two objects: rogue waves in the ocean and rational solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). There is a hierarchy of rational solutions of ‘focussing’ NLSE with increasing order and with progressively increasing amplitude. As the equation can be applied to waves in the deep ocean, the solutions can describe “rogue waves” with virtually infinite amplitude. They can appear from smooth initial conditions that are only slightly perturbed in a special way, and are given by our exact solutions. Thus, a slight perturbation on the ocean surface can dramatically increase the amplitude of the singular wave event that appears as a result.

Dynamics of nonautonomous rogue waves in Bose–Einstein condensate

We study rogue waves of Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) analytically in a time-dependent harmonic trap with a complex potential. Properties of the nonautonomous rogue waves are investigated analytically. It is reported that there are possibilities to ‘catch’ rogue waves through manipulating nonlinear interaction properly. The results provide many possibilities to manipulate rogue waves experimentally in a BEC system.     

Higher-Order Rogue Wave Pairs in the Coupled Cubic-Quintic Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations

We study some novel patterns of rogue wave in the coupled cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Utilizing the generalized Darboux transformation, the higher-order rogue wave pairs of the coupled system are generated. Especially, the first-and second-order rogue wave pairs are discussed in detail. It demonstrates that two classical fundamental rogue waves can be emerged from the first-order case and four or six classical fundamental rogue waves from the second-order case. In the second-order rogue wave solution, the distribution structures can be in triangle, quadrilateral and ring shapes by fixing appropriate values of the free parameters. In contrast to single-component systems, there are always more abundant rogue wave structures in multi-component ones. It is shown that the two higher-order nonlinear coefficients ρ₁ and ρ₂ make some skews of the rogue waves.     

Rogue waves in Lugiato-Lefever equation with variable coefficients

In this paper, we theoretically investigate the generation of optical rogue waves from a Lugiato-Lefever equation with variable coefficients by using the nonlinear Schrödinger equation-based constructive method. Exact explicit rogue-wave solutions of the Lugiato-Lefever equation with constant dispersion, detuning and dissipation are derived and presented. The bright rogue wave, intermediate rogue wave and the dark rogue wave are obtained by changing the value of one parameter in the exact explicit solutions corresponding to the external pump power of a continuous-wave laser.     

Localized waves in three-component coupled nonlinear Schrdinger equation

We study the generalized Darboux transformation to the three-component coupled nonlinear Schr ¨odinger equation.First-and second-order localized waves are obtained by this technique.In first-order localized wave,we get the interactional solutions between first-order rogue wave and one-dark,one-bright soliton respectively.Meanwhile,the interactional solutions between one-breather and first-order rogue wave are also given.In second-order localized wave,one-dark-one-bright soliton together with second-order rogue wave is presented in the first component,and two-bright soliton together with second-order rogue wave are gained respectively in the other two components.Besides,we observe second-order rogue wave together with one-breather in three components.Moreover,by increasing the absolute values of two free parameters,the nonlinear waves merge with each other distinctly.These results further reveal the interesting dynamic structures of localized waves in the three-component coupled system.     

Localized waves of the coupled cubic–quintic nonlinear Schrdinger equations in nonlinear optics

We investigate some novel localized waves on the plane wave background in the coupled cubic–quintic nonlinear Schr o¨dinger(CCQNLS) equations through the generalized Darboux transformation(DT). A special vector solution of the Lax pair of the CCQNLS system is elaborately constructed, based on the vector solution, various types of higherorder localized wave solutions of the CCQNLS system are constructed via the generalized DT. These abundant and novel localized waves constructed in the CCQNLS system include higher-order rogue waves, higher-order rogues interacting with multi-soliton or multi-breather separately. The first-and second-order semi-rational localized waves including several free parameters are mainly discussed:(i) the semi-rational solutions degenerate to the first-and second-order vector rogue wave solutions;(ii) hybrid solutions between a first-order rogue wave and a dark or bright soliton, a second-order rogue wave and two dark or bright solitons;(iii) hybrid solutions between a first-order rogue wave and a breather, a second-order rogue wave and two breathers. Some interesting and appealing dynamic properties of these types of localized waves are demonstrated, for example, these nonlinear waves merge with each other markedly by increasing the absolute value of α.These results further uncover some striking dynamic structures in the CCQNLS system.
