N-soliton quantum scattering in the sine-Gordon theory

The quantum treatment of soliton scattering in the sine-Gordon model, using the path integral collective coordinate method is generalized to N solitons. The solitions. The first quantum correction to the phase shift of N-soliton scattering is equal to the zero-point energy of an effective multi-soliton Hamiltonian. The energies of the oscillators of this Hamiltonian are shown to be equal to the stability angles of a complete set of solutions of the Schrödinger equation for small fluctuations around a classical N-soliton. Consequently, calculating the fluctuations and their stability angles by the inverse scattering method, we obtain the energies of the oscillators. The first quantum correction to the phase shift (the O(1) part in a development in powers of γ) is evaluated by summing the stability angles. This result is in agreement with the “exact” scattering amplitude conjectured by Faddeev, Kulish and Korepin.     

Solitons for the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with Raman effect in nonlinear optics

Considering the ultrashort optical soliton propagation in the non-Kerr media, the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with Raman effect is studied through the dependent variable transformation and Hirota method. Based on symbolic computation, the bilinear form, the explicit one- and two-soliton solutions for the equation are presented. The constraint parametric condition for the existence of soliton solutions is also derived. Propagation characteristics and interaction behaviors of the solitons are graphically shown and discussed: (1) Overtaking elastic interactions of the two solitons; (2) periodic attraction and repulsion of the bounded states of two solitons; (3) propagation in parallel of the two solitons.     

Soliton interaction under the influence of higher-order effects

In this paper, we present exact N-soliton solution by employing simple, straightforward Darboux transformation based on the Lax pair for Hirota equation, a higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger (HNLS) equation. As examples, one- and two-soliton solutions in explicit forms are given and their properties are also analyzed. A bound solution without interaction will be theoretically predicted if one can adjust frequency shift for each soliton appropriately. Further, we obtain the approximate eigenvalues by employing two-soliton solution and discuss analytically the interaction between neighboring solitons under the influence of the higher-order effects. It is shown that the combined effects of the higher-order effects can restrain the interaction between neighboring solitons to some extent. The results are proved by directly solving HNLS equation numerically.     

Breathers and solitons for the coupled nonlinear Schr?dinger system in three-spine α-helical protein

We mainly investigate the variable-coefficient 3-coupled nonlinear Schr?dinger(NLS) system, which describes soliton dynamics in the three-spine α-helical protein with inhomogeneous effect. The variable-coefficient NLS equation is transformed into the constant coefficient NLS equation by similarity transformation firstly. The Hirota method is used to solve the constant coefficient NLS equation, and then we get the one-and two-breather solutions of the variable-coefficient NLS equation. The results show that, in the background of plane waves and periodic waves, the breather can be transformed into some forms of combined soliton solutions. The influence of different parameters on the soliton solution and the collision between two solitons are discussed by some graphs in detail. Our results are helpful to study the soliton dynamics inα-helical protein.     

Broadband tunable Raman soliton self-frequency shift to mid-infrared band in a highly birefringent microstructure fiber

Raman soliton self-frequency shifted to mid-infrared band(λ 2 μm) has been achieved in an air-silica microstructure fiber(MF). The MF used in our experiment has an elliptical core with diameters of 1.08 and 2.48 μm for fast and slow axis. Numerical simulation shows that each fundamental orthogonal polarization mode has two wide-spaced λZDW and theλZDW pairs located at 701/2110 nm and 755/2498 nm along the fast and slow axis, respectively. Using 810-nm Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser as pump, when the output power varies from 0.3 to 0.5 W, the furthest red-shift Raman solitons in both fast and slow axis shift from near-infrared band to mid-infrared band, reaching as far as 2030 and 2261 nm. Also, midinfrared Raman solitons can always be generated for pump wavelength longer than 790 nm if output pump power reaches0.5 W. Specifically, with pump power at 0.5 W, the mid-infrared soliton in slow axis shifts from 2001 to 2261 nm when the pump changes from 790 nm to 810 nm. This means only a 20 nm change of pump results in 260 nm tunability of a mid-infrared soliton.     

Lump solitons,rogue wave solutions and lump-stripe interaction phenomena to an extended (3+1)-dimensional KP equation

By using a direct method, we construct the Hirota bilinear form for an extended (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation. Based on this bilinearization, the lump solitons and rogue wave solutions are investigated. Constraint conditions for the wave propagation and velocity for lump solitons are found and verified by figures. Also the lump-stripe interaction was investigated to show that the lump solitons will be swallowed by the stripe soliton. Finally, the dynamic behaviour for the obtained lump solution, rogue wave and lump-stripe soliton interaction by suitable special parameters is shown graphically.

Solitons and periodic waves for a generalized (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation in fluid dynamics and plasma physics

Under investigation in this paper is a generalized (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation in fluid dynamics and plasma physics. Soliton and one-periodic-wave solutions are obtained via the Hirota bilinear method and Hirota–Riemann method. Magnitude and velocity of the one soliton are derived. Graphs are presented to discuss the solitons and one-periodic waves: the coefficients in the equation can determine the velocity components of the one soliton, but cannot alter the soliton magnitude; the interaction between the two solitons is elastic; the coefficients in the equation can influence the periods and velocities of the periodic waves. Relation between the one-soliton solution and one-periodic wave solution is investigated.

Methods of reducing the soliton interaction in distributed erbium-doped fiber amplifiers have been studied. The results show: if the optical phase conjugation is applied in proper periodic length, input relative phase between two solitons, and non-equal amplitude input is chosen, the soliton-soliton interaction and soliton self frequency shift can be deleted effectively.     

Deep learning neural networks for the third-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation: bright solitons,breathers, and rogue waves

The dimensionless third-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation (alias the Hirota equation) is investigated via deep leaning neural networks. In this paper, we use the physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) deep learning method to explore the data-driven solutions (e.g. bright soliton, breather, and rogue waves) of the Hirota equation when the two types of the unperturbated and perturbated (a 2% noise) training data are considered. Moreover, we use the PINNs deep learning to study the data-driven discovery of parameters appearing in the Hirota equation with the aid of bright solitons.

Stochastic motion of Sine-Gordon-solitons and the spin-correlation function of CsNiF3

The interaction of solitons and magnons (linear modes) of the Sine-Gordon equation is studied. The phase shift of the magnon in presence of a soliton gives rise to a shift of the position of the soliton, if magnon wave packets are considered. This leads to a stochastic part of the soliton motion in a gas of thermally activated magnons yielding an effective velocity and a diffusion constant. The influence of this effect on the solitonic part of the correlation function is discussed and compared with the recent experiment by Steiner and Kjems.     

Oscillating solitons in nonlinear optics

Oscillating solitons are obtained in nonlinear optics. Analytical study of the variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which is used to describe the soliton propagation in those systems, is carried out using the Hirota’s bilinear method. The bilinear forms and analytic soliton solutions are derived, and the relevant properties and features of oscillating solitons are illustrated. Oscillating solitons are controlled by the reciprocal of the group velocity and Kerr nonlinearity. Results of this paper will be valuable to the study of dispersion-managed optical communication system and mode-locked fibre lasers.     

Fusion and birth of spatial solitons upon collision

A note on loop-soliton solutions of the short-pulse equation

It is shown that the N-loop soliton solution to the short-pulse equation may be decomposed exactly into N separate soliton elements by using a Moloney-Hodnett type decomposition. For the case N=2, the decomposition is used to calculate the phase shift of each soliton caused by its interaction with the other one. Corrections are made to some previous results in the literature.     

Control of interaction between femtosecond dark solitons in inhomogeneous optical fibers

In this paper, we present exact femtosecond one- and two-dark soliton solutions for a variable-coefficient higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation via modified Hirota method. The propagation and interaction of femtosecond dark solitons are investigated in inhomogeneous fiber systems. Elastic collision, bound oscillation and parallel propagation can be achieved in both Gaussian distributed parameter system and exponentially periodic distributed parameter system by choosing the appropriate distributed parameters and soliton parameters. The results may be beneficial to the realization of interaction control of femtosecond dark solitons in communication systems.     

The freeze of intrapulse Raman scattering effect of ultrashort solitons in optical fiber

The effect of intrapulse Raman scattering (IRS) for the propagation of the femtosecond solitons in an optical fiber is investigated. To factually simulate its influence, a combination of 27 Lorentian lines to fit experimental Raman gain profile is adopted. By using nonlinear Schrödinger equation and finite-difference time domain method, the propagations of femtosecond fundamental solitons in an optical fiber are numerically calculated. When the initial power is suitably enhanced, it is found that the pulse shape is almost the same as initial pulse and the delay Raman response only makes small pulse shift. In other words, when ultrashort soliton is considered, the IRS effect is similarly frozen under the enhanced initial power.
