The finding of abundant solution structures for extended NLSE helps to study the movement rule of femtosecond pulse propagation in monomode optical fiber.     

Stability of dark soliton solutions of the quintic complex Ginzburg--Landau equation inthe case of normal dispersion

Dark soliton solutions of the one-dimensional complex Ginzburg--Landau equation (CGLE) are analysed for the case of normal group-velocity dispersion. The CGLE can be transformed to the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation (NLSE) with perturbation terms under some practical conditions. The main properties of dark solitons are analysed by applying the direct perturbation theory of the NLSE. The results obtained may be helpful for the research on the optical soliton transmission system.     

Optical solitons for non-Kerr law nonlinear Schrödinger equation with third and fourth order dispersions

In this paper, we obtain optical soliton solutions for non-Kerr law nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) with third order (3OD) and fourth order dispersions (4OD). We will use two integration schemes, namely sin-cosine method and Bernoulli’s equation approach with five laws of nonlinearities. Sine-cosine method is applicable to Kerr, power and anti-cubic laws, this method provides bright soliton solutions. The second method is applicable to parabolic and cubic quintic laws, this method generates dark soliton. The results may be used in discussing the propagation of optical solitons in highly dispersive media with Kerr, power, anti-cubic, parabolic and cubic quintic law nonlinearities.

Kuznetsov–Ma soliton and Akhmediev breather of higher-order nonlinear Schrdinger equation

In terms of Darboux transformation, we have exactly solved the higher-order nonlinear Schrdinger equation that describes the propagation of ultrashort optical pulses in optical fibers. We discuss the modulation instability(MI) process in detail and find that the higher-order term has no effect on the MI condition. Under different conditions, we obtain Kuznetsov–Ma soliton and Akhmediev breather solutions of higher-order nonlinear Schrdinger equation. The former describes the propagation of a bright pulse on a continuous wave background in the presence of higher-order effects and the soliton's peak position is shifted owing to the presence of a nonvanishing background, while the latter implies the modulation instability process that can be used in practice to produce a train of ultrashort optical soliton pulses.     

Solitary wave solutions for nonlinear Schrödinger equation with non-polynomial nonlinearity

A new kind of non-polynomial nonlinearity is introduced in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) and the conditions are determined for which it admits solitary wave solutions. The study is done for two cases: one in which the nonlinear interaction is of the non-polynomial form and second in which cubic nonlinearity is also included along with the radical nonlinearity. Dark and bright solitary waves solutions are obtained in the respective cases. Further, later case is extended to conditions for which corresponding equation reduces to driven quadratic-cubic NLSE possessing cnoidal solutions with plane wave phase, which reduces to bright soliton for a certain parameter.

Dark solitons in optical fiber with inhomogeneous effects

We study the nonlinear wave propagation in an inhomogeneous optical fiber core in the normal dispersive regime. In order to include the inhomogeneous physical effects, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE), which governs the solitary pulse propagation in optical fiber, is modified by adding terms for phase modulation and power gain or loss. The modified NLSEs are bilinearized and exact dark soliton solutions are obtained. The results are discussed.     

Subwavelength spatial solitons

We analyze the effects of additional terms in the nonlinear Schr?dinger equation for spatial solitons, directly derived from the Maxwell's equations with the Kerr nonlinearity, on the shapes of bright and dark solitons with a fixed polarization. Combining analytical and numerical methods, we find that the additional terms always render the solitons broader. The most essential result is a fundamental limitation on the width of the subwavelength soliton: The ratio of the FWHM of the bright soliton to the wavelength cannot be smaller than 1/2, and the same ratio for the FWHM of the dark soliton cannot be smaller than 1/4.     

Exact self-similar solitary waves and collisions in nonlinear optical media

This paper analyses bright and dark spatial self-similar waves propagation and collision in graded-index nonlinear waveguide amplifiers with self-focusing and self-defocusing Kerr nonlinearities. It finds an appropriate transformation for the first time such that the nonlinear Schrodinger equation （NLSE） with varying coefficients transform into standard NLSE. It obtains one-solitonlike, two-solitonlike and multi-solitonlike self-similar wave solutions by using the transformation. Furthermore, it analyses the features of the self-similar waves and their collisions.     

Traveling-waves and solitons in a generalized time-variable coefficients nonlinear Schrödinger equation with higher-order terms

In this work, we study exact solutions of a generalized nonautonomous cubic–quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with higher-order terms, and the dispersion and the nonlinear coefficients engendering temporal dependency. Similarity transformations are used to convert the nonautonomous equation into autonomous one and then we present solutions in a general way. These solutions are obtained for the first class by using the F-expansion method and for the second class constituted by most general bright, dark and front by a direct substitution. We also generalize the external potential which traps the system and the nonlinearities. Finally, the stability of the soliton solutions under slight disturbance of the constraint conditions and initial perturbation of white noise is discussed analytically and numerically. The results reveal that solitons can propagate in a stable way under slight disturbance of the constraint conditions and initial perturbation of a 10% white noise.     

Bright and dark solitons in a cascaded system

This paper studies coupled nonlinear Schrödinger's equation (NLSE) that appears in a cascaded system. Both Kerr law and power law nonlinearities are considered. Bright and dark soliton solutions are retrieved for these nonlinearities. The corresponding constraint conditions naturally fall out that from the mathematical expressions that must remain valid for solitons to exist.     

Envelope self-similar solutions for the nonautonomous and inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation

By means of the similarity transformation connecting with the solvable stationary equation, the self-similar combined Jacobian elliptic function solutions and fractional form solutions of the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) are obtained when the dispersion, nonlinearity, and gain or absorption are varied. The propagation dynamics in a periodic distributed amplification system is investigated. Self-similar cnoidal waves and corresponding localized waves including bright and dark similaritons (or solitons) for NLSE and arch and kink similaritons (or solitons) for cubic-quintic NLSE are analyzed. The results show that the intensity and the width of chirped cnoidal waves (or similaritons) change more distinctly than that of chirp-free counterparts (or solitons).     

Nonautonomous solitons in the continuous wave background of the variable-coefficient higher-order nonlinear Schro¨dinger equation

We reduce the variable-coefficient higher-order nonlinear Schrdinger equation (VCHNLSE) into the constantcoefficient (CC) one. Based on the reduction transformation and solutions of CCHNLSE, we obtain analytical soliton solutions embedded in the continuous wave background for the VCHNLSE. Then the excitation in advancement and sustainment of soliton arrays, and postponed disappearance and sustainment of the bright soliton embedded in the background are discussed in an exponential system.     

Special Property of Group Velocity for Temporal Dark Soliton

We investigate the speed of temporal dark soliton based on an optical coherent medium. It is demonstrated that the temporal dark soliton is described by a nonlinear Schrodinger equation whose coefficients are decided by the coherent medium. It is found that the speed of temporal dark soliton not only relies on the linear responses including GV parameter, group velocity dispersion parameter as well as the amplitude of dark soliton, but also relies on the nonlinear response like self-phase modulation parameter. Additionally, the dark soliton in anomalous-dispersion regime propagates slower than bright soliton, while in normal-dispersion regime it inversely propagates faster than bright soliton. The complicated property of the speed for dark soliton is quite different from the bright soliton whose speed is commonly only related to the group velocity parameter. We attribute this feature to the modulation instability of the nonlinear system.
