PARTICULAR SOLITONS IN NONLINEAR LATTICE

One soliton of particle velocity and its amplitude (maximum particle velocity of one soliton) in Toda lattice is given analytically. It has also been known numerically that the maximum particle velocity (when the collision of two solitons reaches their maximum, we define V_n at this time as its maximum particle velocity) during the collision of two solitons moving in the same direction is equal to the difference between the amplitudes of two solitons if the difference is large enough; however, the maximum particle velocity is equal to the adding up of the amplitudes of two solitons moving in the opposite directions. The relationship between the maximum value of e^-(r_n)-1 and their initial amplitude of e^-(r_n)-1 is also given analytically in Toda lattice if the amplitudes of the two solitons are the same and their moving directions are opposite. Compared with the Boussinesq equation, there are differences between the Toda lattice equation and the Boussinesq equation for solitons during the collision.     

Interactions between bright solitons in different species of Bose—Einstein condensates

The dynamics of a bright-bright vector soliton in a cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate trapping in a harmonic potential is studied.The interaction between bright solitons in different species with small separation is derived.Unlike the interaction between solitons of the same species,it is independent of the phase difference between solitons.It may be of attraction or repulsion.In the former case,each soliton will oscillate about and pass through each other around the mass-center of the system,which will also oscillate harmonically due to the harmonic trapping potential.     

Effect of Time-Dependent Atomic Scattering Length on Solitons in Bose-Einstein Condensates with a Complex Potential

We consider the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrǒdinger equations that describe the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein Condensates with time-dependent scattering length in a complex potential. Our results show that as long as the integrable relation is satisfied, exact solutions of the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrǒdinger equation can be found in a general closed form, and interactions between two solitons are modulated in a complex potential We find that the changes of the scattering length and trapping potential can be effectively used to control the interaction between two bright soliton.     

One-dimensional nonparaxial bright solitons and their coherent interactions in Kerr media

<正>The existence of one-dimensional bright Kerr solitons is investigated in Kerr media beyond the paraxial approximation. It is found that a nonparaxial soliton with no less than a minimum dimensionless width of about 0.76 can exist, which corresponds to the real width about a wavelength.Besides,the coherent interactions between two nonparaxial bright solitons in Kerr media are also investigated in detail.It is found that their separation and intensity ratio have great influence on the coherent interaction between these two solitons.Furthermore,the effect of the relative phase difference on the nonparaxial interaction is quite different from that on the paraxial interaction.Periodical breath, merging,repulsion,and energy transferring can be realized separately by choosing an appropriate initial relative phase between the coherent solitons.     

Control of soliton characteristics of the condensate by an arbitrary x-dependent external potential

This paper presents a family of soliton solutions of the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrdinger equation which describes the dynamics of the dark solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates with an arbitrary x-dependent external potential.The obtained results show that the external potential has an important effect on the dark soliton dynamical characteristics of the condensates.The amplitude,width,and velocity of the output soliton are relative to the source position of the external potential.The smaller the amplitude of the soliton is,the narrower its width is,and the slower the soliton propagates.The collision of two dark solitons is nearly elastic.     

Two-Dimensional Soliton Interaction for Multi-component Bose-Einstein Condensates

For two-component disk-shaped Bose-Einstein condensates with repulsive atom-atom interaction, the small amplitude, finite and long wavelength nonlinear waves can be described by a Kadomtsev-Petviashvili-Ⅰ equation at the lowest order from the originai coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations. One- and two-soliton solutions of the Kadomtsev- Petviashvili-1 equation are given, therefore, the wave functions of both atomic gases are obtained as well. The instability of a soliton under higher-order long wavelength disturbance has been investigated. It is found that the instability depends on the angle between two directions of both soliton and disturbance.     

Moving bright solitons in a pseudo-spin polarization Bose-Einstein condensate

We study the moving bright solitons in the weak attractive Bose–Einstein condensate with a spin–orbit interaction. By solving the coupled nonlinear Schr ?dinger equation with the variational method and the imaginary time evolution method,two kinds of solitons(plane wave soliton and stripe solitons) are found in different parameter regions. It is shown that the soliton speed dominates its structure. The detuning between the Raman beam and energy states of the atoms decides the spin polarization strength of the system. The soliton dynamics is also studied for various moving speed and we find that the shape of individual components can be kept when the speed of soliton is low.     

Correlation between randomly varying birefringence and random dispersion map in a dispersion-managed soliton system

The correlation between perturbations caused by randomly varying birefringence and a random dispersion map is considered in a dispersion-managed soliton system, and their effects on soliton propagation and interaction are investigated numerically. These perturbations lead to the disintegration of a soliton, and enhance the interaction between solitons. The correlation plays an important role, and reinforces these effects. Furthermore, there is a stochastic resonance between two perturbations in the system; here the effect is the largest, and the corresponding distance until disintegration is the shortest. Finally, nonlinear gain and a filter are introduced to effectively suppress these effects.     

Controlling the collision between two solitons in the condensates by a double-barrier potential

We present an analytical solution of two solitons of Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in a double-barrier potential by using a multiple-scale method.In the linear case,we find that the stable spots of the soliton formation are at the top of the barrier potential and at the region of barrier potential absence.For weak nonlinearity,it is shown that the height of the barrier potential has an important effect on the dark soliton dynamical properties.Especially,in the case of regarding a double-barrier potential as the output source of the solitons,the collision spots between two dark solitons can be controlled by the height of the barrier potential.     

Vector Solitons and Soliton Collisions in Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensates

With realistic parameters, both analytical and computational studies demonstrate the feasibility of forming bright-bright vector solitons in a self-repulsive two-component Bose-Einstein condensate with attractive intercomponent interaction. Moreover, the stability of such solitons is confirmed by direct numerical simulations, by a Bogoliubov spectrum analysis, and by examining the collisions between two vector solitons. Our results are of considerable experimental interest.     

Fission and Fusion of Two Bright Solitons in a Growing Bose--Einstein Condensate

We analytically study the interaction characteristics of two bright solitons in a one-dimensional growing Bose- Einstein condensate with time-dependent periodic atomic scattering length. It is shown that the interaction between two bright solitons can generate fission and fusion in the presence of both time-dependent periodic atomic scattering length and the growing case. Furthermore, we propose experimental protocols to realize these interaction phenomena by varying the scattering length via the Feshbach resonance in the future experiment.     

Dynamics of Bright/Dark Solitons in Bose--Einstein Condensates with Time-Dependent Scattering Length and External Potential

We present an analytical study on the dynamics of bright and dark solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates with time-varying atomic scattering length in a time-varying external parabolic potential. A set of exact soliton solutions of the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation are obtained, including fundamental bright solitons, higher-order bright solitons, and dark solitons. The results show that the soliton＇s parameters （amplitude, width, and period） can be changed in a controllable manner by changing the scattering length and external potential. This may be helpful to design experiments.     

Formation of combined solitons in two-component Bose—Einstein condensates

<正>We investigate the combined soliton solutions of two-component Bose—Einstein condensates with external potential. The "phase diagram" is obtained for the formation regions of different combined solitons.Our results show that the intraspecies(interspecies) interaction strengths and the external trapped potential clearly affect the formation of dark-dark, bright-bright,and dark-bright soliton solutions in different regions.Especially,we find that the bright-bright (dark-dark) soliton can exist in the case of both repulsive(attractive) intraspecies interaction strengths in the presence of external potential.This novel phenomenon is completely different from the formation of soliton solution of one-component Bose-Einstein condensates without external potential,and it will be useful for the study of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates.     

Controlling the Collision Between Two Solitons in a Two-Component Condensate by Interspecies Interactions

We present a family of the solutions of two-component Bose--Einstein condensates with time-dependent scattering length by means of multiple-scale method. Our numerical calculations show that the collision properties (the position, the time, and the frequency of the collision) between two solitons can be controlled by the time-dependent interspecies scattering length.Meanwhile, we also find that the amplitude of the solitons is close relatedto the time-dependent interspecies scattering length.     

Head-on collision of ring dark solitons in Bose--Einstein condensates

The ring dark solitons and their head-on collisions in a Bose--Einstein condensates with thin disc-shaped potential are studied. It is shown that the system admits a solution with two concentric ring solitons, one moving inwards and the other moving outwards, which in small-amplitude limit, are described by the two cylindrical KdV equations in the respective reference frames. By using the extended Poincar\'e--Lighthill--Kuo perturbation method, the analytical phase shifts following the head-on collisions between two ring dark solitary waves are derived. It is shown that the phase shifts decrease with the radial coordinate $r$ according to the $r^{-1/3}$ law and depend on the initial soliton amplitude and radius.     

Holographic solitons in centrosymmetric photorefractive crystals

The conditions necessary for obtaining holographic solitons in centrosymmetric photorefractive crystals are discussed. When both the intensity modulation of the two interacting waves and the angle between the vector of each beam and the longitudinal axis are small, centrosymmetric photorefractive crystals with a positive (or negative ) effective quadratic electro-optic coefficient are able to support bright (or dark) holographic solitons. The intensity width at half maximum of bright and dark solitons is inversely proportional to the external bias field. The holographic solitons can also exit in dissipative centrosymmetric photorefractive crystals when the applied external bias field is large enough.     

Soliton interaction in logarithmically saturable media

An analysis, based on the variational approach, is carried out of the interaction between two fully coherent solitons as well as two partially coherent soliton stripes in a medium with logarithmic nonlinearity. For the coherent case, it is found that the interaction can be both attractive and repulsive depending on the relative phase. The different interaction scenarios involve a bound system where the distance between the solitons oscillates with various magnitude of the oscillation amplitude, including total coalescence, and another where the solitons separate asymptotically. The effect of partial coherence on the soliton interaction is also studied by analyzing the interaction between two partially coherent soliton stripes. It is found that the strength as well as the character (attractive/repulsive) of the interaction changes for decreasing coherence. Thus, the general interaction properties of solitons in logarithmic nonlinear media are qualitatively similar to those of solitons in nonlinear Kerr media.     

Collision induced splitting of bright soliton in Bose--Einstein condensate

This paper studies the collision dynamics of bright soliton in Bose--Einstein condensate with trapezoid potential. It is found that besides the total reflection and total transmission, one bright soliton can be divided into two bright solitons with different amplitudes in a controllable manner.
