二阶孤子间相互作用引起孤子衰变

对于二阶孤子脉冲对,通过数值求解非线性Schrdinger方程,得到了二阶孤子在光纤中传输时的衰变规律.由于脉冲之间的相互作用,原来的二阶孤子衰变为两个分离的基孤子.二阶孤子对同位相时,相互作用为“吸引”,衰变后峰值小的基孤子位于内侧,二阶孤子对反位相时,相互作用为“排斥”,衰变后峰值小的基孤子位于外侧.两个二阶孤子脉冲间隔越小,反位相时,在相同传输距离处,衰变产生的两个基孤子的分离程度越大.     

Dark and anti-dark vector solitons of the coupled modified nonlinear Schrödinger equations from the birefringent optical fibers

Coupled modified nonlinear Schr?dinger (CMNLS) equations describe the pulse propagation in the picosecond or femtosecond regime of the birefringent optical fibers. A new type of the Lax pair and another hierarchy of the infinitely many conservation laws are derived based on the Wadati-Konno-Ichikawa system. By means of the Hirota method, soliton solutions in the normal dispersion regime are obtained. Parametric regions for the existence of dark and anti-dark vector soliton solutions are given. Asymptotic analysis shows that the collision between two solitons (two anti-dark solitons, two dark solitons, or dark and anti-dark solitons) in each polarization direction is elastic. Moreover, there is no energy transfer between two polarization components of each vector soliton, whether dark or anti-dark vector soliton. In addition, dark and anti-dark solitons can coexist on the same background seen from the collision between the dark and anti-dark solitons in one polarization direction. Our graphical analysis shows that the parameters in the CMNLS equations not only determine the regions for the existence of dark and anti-dark soliton solutions but also control the phase and direction of the propagation of the solitons. Finally, through the linear stability analysis, the modulational instability condition is given.     

Temperature effects of Hamiltonian dark solitons on the stability of holographic solitons in a separate holographic–Hamiltonian soliton pair

We investigate theoretically the temperature effects on the evolution and stability of a separate holographic–Hamiltonian dark–dark or bright–dark soliton pair formed in an unbiased serial photorefractive crystal circuit. Our numerical results show that, for a stable dark–dark or bright–dark soliton pair originally formed in a crystal circuit at given temperatures, when the crystal in which formed a Hamiltonian dark soliton changes, the holographic dark or bright soliton supported by the other crystal tends to evolve into another stable soliton or experiences larger cycles of compression or breaks up into beam filaments or exhibit a common decaying process. The holographic dark soliton is more sensitive to the temperature change than the holographic bright one.     

Dynamics of bound vector solitons induced by stochastic perturbations: Soliton breakup and soliton switching

We respectively investigate breakup and switching of the Manakov-typed bound vector solitons (BVSs) induced by two types of stochastic perturbations: the homogenous and nonhomogenous. Symmetry-recovering is discovered for the asymmetrical homogenous case, while soliton switching is found to relate with the perturbation amplitude and soliton coherence. Simulations show that soliton switching in the circularly-polarized light system is much weaker than that in the Manakov and linearly-polarized systems. In addition, the homogenous perturbations can enhance the soliton switching in both of the Manakov and non-integrable (linearly- and circularly-polarized) systems. Our results might be helpful in interpreting dynamics of the BVSs with stochastic noises in nonlinear optics or with stochastic quantum fluctuations in Bose–Einstein condensates.     

Incoherently coupled soliton pairs in nonlocal nonlinear media

We show that incoherently coupled soliton pairs can exist in nonlocal Kerr-type nonlinear media. Such solitons can propagate in bright--bright, dark--dark, and gray--gray configurations. When the nonlocal nonlinearity is absent, these bright--bright and dark--dark soliton pairs are those observed previously in local Kerr-type nonlinear media. Our analysis indicates that for a self-focusing nonlinearity the intensity full width half maximum (FWHM) of the bright--bright pair components increases with the degree of nonlocality of the nonlinear response, whereas for a self-defocusing nonlinearity the intensity FWHM of the dark--dark and gray--gray pair components decreases with the increase in the degree of nonlocality of the nonlinear response. The stability of these soliton pairs has been investigated numerically and it has been found that they are stable.     

Other incarnations of the Gross-Pitaevskii dark soliton

We show that the dark soliton of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) that describes the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) density of a system of weakly repulsive bosons, also describes that of a system of strongly repulsive hard core bosons at half filling. As a consequence of this, the GPE soliton gets related to the magnetic soliton in an easy-plane ferromagnet, where it describes the square of the in-plane magnetization of the system. These relationships are shown to be useful in understanding various characteristics of solitons in these distinct many-body systems.     

Effect of the dark soliton crystal temperature on the deflection of the bright soliton in a separate bright–dark screening soliton pair

We investigate theoretically the dark soliton crystal temperature effect on the deflection of the bright one in a bright–dark soliton pair which is formed in a serial non-photovoltaic photorefractive crystal circuit. Our numerical results show that the spatial shift of the bright soliton changes with the temperature of the dark one crystal and varying the temperature of the dark soliton crystal can influence the deflection strongly. The temperature dependence of the deflection process is further studied by perturbation technique and the results are found to be good agreement with that obtained by numerical method. Relevant examples are provided.     

Mutual-focusing of two co-propagating beams and formation of trapped spatial breather pair in saturable nonlinear media

In this paper, using parabolic equation approach, coupled propagation of two coaxially co-propagating and mutually incoherent bright cylindrical beams in saturable nonlinear medium has been investigated. Considering the coupling coefficient equal to unity (κ=1), a detailed account of formation of spatial soliton pair (i.e. both beams are stationary trapped) and spatial breather pair (i.e. width of each beam oscillates with the propagation distance) has been provided and existence of spatially trapped breather pair (i.e. average width of each breather of the pair does not change with the propagation distance) has been shown. Conditions of formation of trapped spatial breather pair and their existence line has also been revealed for arbitrary beam width ratio of the beams. It is revealed that spatial soliton pairs are just a special case of trapped breather pair. The regions (conditions) of mutual-focusing and mutual-defocusing of spatial soliton pair/breather pair have also been identified. Lastly, the law of trapped breather pair formation is proposed.     

Effects of temperature on the stability of separatescreening bright--dark spatial soliton pair

We investigate theoretically the temperature effects on the evolution and stability of a separate screening bright--dark soliton pair formed in a serial non-photovoltaic photorefractive crystal circuit. Our numerical results show that, for a stable bright--dark soliton pair originally formed in a crystal circuit at given temperatures, when one crystal temperature changes, the soliton supported by the other crystal will evolve into another stable soliton if the temperature change is quite small, whereas it will become unstable and experience larger cycles of compression or break up into beam filaments if the temperature difference is big enough. The dark soliton is more sensitive to the temperature change than the bright one.     

Nonlinear tunneling of optical soliton in 3 coupled NLS equation with symbolic computation

We investigated the soliton solution for N$N$ coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) equations. These equations are coupled due to the cross-phase-modulation (CPM). Lax pair of this system is obtained via the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur (AKNS) scheme and the corresponding Darboux transformation is constructed to derive the soliton solution. One and two soliton solutions are generated. Using two soliton solutions of 3 CNLS equation, nonlinear tunneling of soliton for both with and without exponential background has been discussed. Finally cascade compression of optical soliton through multi-nonlinear barrier has been discussed. The obtained results may have promising applications in all-optical devices based on optical solitons, study of soliton propagation in birefringence fiber systems and optical soliton with distributed dispersion and nonlinearity management.

Quantized Superfluid Vortex Filaments Induced by the Axial Flow Effect

We report the quantized superfluid vortex filaments induced by the axial flow effect, which exhibit intriguing loop structures on helical vortexes. Such new vortex filaments correspond to a series of soliton excitations including the multipeak soliton, W-shaped soliton, and anti-dark soliton, which have no analogue when the axial flow effect is absent. In particular, we show that the vortex filaments induced by the multipeak soliton and W-shaped soliton arise from the dual action of bending and twisting of the vortex, while the vortex filament induced by the anti-dark soliton is caused only by the bending action, which is consistent with the case of the standard bright soliton. These results will deepen our understanding of breather-induced vortex filaments and will be helpful for controllable ring-like excitations on vortices.     

Integrability Aspects and Soliton Solutions for a System Describing Ultrashort Pulse Propagation in an Inhomogeneous Multi-Component Medium

For the propagation of the ultrashort pulses in an inhomogeneousmulti-component nonlinear medium, a system of coupled equations isanalytically studied in this paper. Painlevé analysis shows thatthis system admits the Painlevé property under some constraints.By means of the Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur procedure, the Lax pairof this system is derived, and the Darboux transformation (DT) isconstructed with the help of the obtained Lax pair. With symboliccomputation, the soliton solutions are obtained by virtue of the DTalgorithm. Figures are plotted to illustrate the dynamical featuresof the soliton solutions. Characteristics of the solitonspropagating in an inhomogeneous multi-component nonlinear medium arediscussed: (i) Propagation of one soliton and two-peak soliton; (ii) Elastic interactions of the parabolic two solitons; (iii) Overlapphenomenon between two solitons; (iv) Collision of two head-onsolitons and two head-on two-peak solitons; (v) Two different typesof interactions of the three solitons; (vi) Decomposition phenomenonof one soliton into two solitons. The results might be useful in thestudy on the ultrashort-pulse propagation in the inhomogeneousmulti-component nonlinear media.     

Dark soliton switching in an NLDC in the presence of higher-order perturbative effects

Dark soliton switching in a nonlinear directional coupler in the presence of intermodal dispersion, cross-phase modulation (CPM), third-order dispersion, Raman effect, and self-steepening effect is reported for the first time. It is shown that, with the exception of CPM, all of the other perturbative effects have almost no effect on the switching characteristics of the dark soliton switch, which is an improvement over the corresponding bright soliton switch. Although the CPM increases the critical power of dark soliton switching, the soliton pulse remains stable inside the coupler during its propagation.     

Separate holographic screening soliton pairs in a biased series photorefractive crystal circuit

Holographic dark (bright) screening solitons are predicted in one dimension for a series circuit consisting of two photorefractive crystals connected electronically by electrode leads in a chain with a voltage source. Each crystal can support a holographic screening soliton. The two solitons are known collectively as a separate holographic screening soliton pair with three types: bright--bright, bright--dark and dark--dark. The numerical results show that the two solitons in a soliton pair can affect each other through a light-induced current and their coupling can affect their spatial profiles under the limit in which the optical wave has a spatial extent much less than the width of the crystal.     

Peregrine solitons and algebraic soliton pairs in Kerr media considering space–time correction

Exact unified rational solutions describing a family of Peregrine solitons as well as related algebraic soliton pairs in either self-focusing or self-defocusing Kerr media are presented, with distinct defining regimes and an explicit relationship for those of opposite nonlinearity. The active role of the space–time correction effect that plays in these soliton species is highlighted, leading to unique dynamics such as the persistence of Peregrine solitons in a defocusing Kerr medium, the availability of giant peak amplitude for the bright–bright soliton pair, and the existence of so-called bright–dark soliton pair. The evolution dynamics of the algebraic two-soliton state toward a spliced single soliton is also discussed.

脉冲内拉曼散射影响下的孤子之间的相互作用及其控制

研究了脉冲内拉曼散射效应影响下的同相和反相相邻孤子脉冲之间的相互作用,分析了孤子之间的相互作用对定时抖动的影响和脉冲内拉曼散射效应对孤子频移的影响。研究结果表明:在脉冲内,在拉曼散射效应的影响下,同相基态孤子脉冲的周期性离合被破坏了,两孤子脉冲一次碰撞后一直处于排斥状态,并且在碰撞后自频移现象十分明显;反相孤子脉冲的影响则较弱,两孤子脉冲都向下降沿发生偏移。引入非线性增益可以有效地控制孤子之间的相互作用,抑制自频移效应和稳定孤子传输。     

Gaussian soliton generation using a 1.3 μm optical pulse in a micro-ring resonator for a new DWDM enhancement

We present a novel system of a Gaussian soliton generation using a 1.30 μm optical pulse in a nonlinear micro-ring resonator system, which can be used to form the soliton pulse trains within the new wavelength band. By using the suitable parameters, the soliton pulse trains with the center wavelength at 1.30 μm can be generated after the intense Gaussian pulse is input into the nonlinear micro-ring resonator system. The initial pulse bandwidth is enlarged and the signal amplified by the nonlinear Kerr effects type within the ring resonator. The simulation values are used associating with the practical device parameters, whereas the obtained results have shown that the wavelength enhancement of the center wavelength can be achieved. Furthermore, the maximum soliton output power of 12 W is obtained, which is available to perform the long-distance communication link. The common problem of soliton dispersion is minimized by the zero dispersion condition in this case. The major advantage of the proposed system is that the dense wavelength division of the center wavelength with the spectral width of 7.0 pm (10⁻¹⁵ m) and the free spectrum range of 400 pm can be generated and achieved. This is available for the used/installed wavelength enhancement, which can provide more available channel capacity in the existed public optical network.
