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.

Research on the nonlinear pulse propagation by numerical analysis

Based on the computation approaches of numerical analysis in electromagnetic, the nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fiber is investigated in this paper. The transforming rule of the shape and spectrum of Gauss pulse are also researched in chirped and non-chirped scenarios from the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). Analyzing the transient wave behavior in time domain and frequency domain respectively, the compression effect of chirp is also presented at different propagation distance. Then by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we discuss a specific solution in the quasi soliton without distortion, which has the stable propagation properly, and do the numerical simulation in soliton wave. Finally, by selecting proper fiber structure parameters and adjusting the width in soliton pulse, the soliton communication system can be optimized.     

One-dimensional EM solitons in ultrashort intense laser pulse-partially stripped plasmas

The one-dimensional electromagnetic (EM) envelope solitons in ultrashort intense laser pulse-partially stripped plasmas were discussed based on the wave equation of intense laser pulse propagating in partially stripped plasmas. Under the weakly relativistic assumption, a modified nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation describing the evolution of the EM field was derived. The analytical analysis shows that in the ultra-short broad beam limits, the relativistic nonlinearity and striction nonlinearity cancel each other, and a one-dimensional laser pulse envelope soliton can be formed only due to the polarization nonlinearity. The relationship between the characteristics of soliton and the parameters of laser pulse and partially stripped plasmas was discussed by numerical analysis.

Wobbling phenomena with logarithmic law nonlinear Schrödinger equations for incoherent spatial Gaussons

We apply the equivalence particle principle to several nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLSEs) that model the propagation of a spatial beam with logarithmic law nonlinearity. Using this principle, expressions for acceleration, spatial frequency, spatial period and other variables for a spatial soliton can be derived from the solution of the homogenous NLSE with logarithmic law nonlinearity. These results agree well with numerical simulations of the perturbed NLSE. We show that if the expression of the acceleration is bounded this means the spatial soliton propagates with a swing effect.     

Dynamics of ring dark solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates and nonlinear optics

Quasiparticle approach to dynamics of dark solitons is applied to the case of ring solitons. It is shown that the energy conservation law provides the effective equations of motion of ring dark solitons for general form of the nonlinear term in the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger or Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Analytical theory is illustrated by examples of dynamics of ring solitons in light beams propagating through a photorefractive medium and in non-uniform condensates confined in axially symmetric traps. Analytical results agree very well with the results of our numerical simulations.     

Nonlinear instability of charged liquid jets: Effect of interfacial charge relaxation

A linear and nonlinear study has been made of cylindrical interface, carrying a uniform surface charge in the presence of a finite rate of charge relaxation, is investigated by using multiple scales method. The linear stability flow is analyzed by deriving a dispersion relation for the growth waves, and solving it analytically and numerically to find marginal stability curves. We investigate the electric charge relaxation effects on the stability of the flow by considering various limiting cases. We also examine the effects of finite charge relaxation times in axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric modes. In the nonlinear approach, it is shown that the evolution of the amplitude is governed by a Ginzburg–Landau equation. There is also obtained a nonlinear modified Schrödinger equation describing the evolution of wave packets for small charge relaxation time. Further, the classic Schrödinger equation is obtained when the influence of relaxation time charge is neglected. On the other hand, the complex amplitude of quasi-monochromatic standing waves near the cutoff wavenumber is governed by a similarly type of nonlinear Schrödinger equation in which the roles of time and space are interchanged. This equation makes it possible to estimate the nonlinear effect on the cutoff wavenumber. The nonlinear theory, when used to investigate the stability of charged liquid jet, appears accurately to predict a new unstable regions. The effects of the surface charge and charge relaxation on the stability are identified. The various stability criteria are discussed both analytically and numerically and the stability diagrams are obtained.     

The N-soliton solution of a two-component modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation

The N-soliton solution is presented for a two-component modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation which describes the propagation of short pulses in birefringent optical fibers. The solution is found to be expressed in terms of determinants. The proof of the solution is carried out by means of an elementary theory of determinants. The generalization of the 2-component system to the multi-component system is discussed as well as a (2+1)-dimensional nonlocal equation arising from its continuum limit.     

The dynamic natures of microscopic particles described by nonlinear Schrödinger equation

There are a lot of difficulties and troubles in quantum mechanics, when the linear Schrödinger equation is used to describe microscopic particles. Thus, we here replace it by a nonlinear Schrödinger equation to investigate the properties and rule of microscopic particles. In such a case we find that the motion of microscopic particle satisfies classical rule and obeys the Hamiltonian principle, Lagrangian and Hamilton equations. We verify further the correctness of these conclusions by the results of nonlinear Schrödinger equation under actions of different externally applied potential. From these studies, we see clearly that rules and features of motion of microscopic particle described by nonlinear Schrödinger equation are greatly different from those in the linear Schrödinger equation, they have many classical properties, which are consistent with concept of corpuscles. Thus, we should use the nonlinear Schrödinger equation to describe microscopic particles.     

Spatiotemporal self-similar waves for the (3 + 1)-dimensional inhomogeneous cubic-quintic nonlinear medium

Spatiotemporal self-similar waves of the (3 + 1)-dimensional generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation, describing propagation of optical pulses in a cubic-quintic nonlinear medium with inhomogeneous dispersion and gain, are derived. A one-to-one correspondence between such self-similar waves and solutions of the constant-coefficient cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation exists when two certain compatibility conditions are satisfied. Under these conditions, we discuss dynamical behaviors of self-similar waves in dispersion decreasing fiber.     

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).     

The semiclassical modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation I: Modulation theory and spectral analysis

We study an integrable modification of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation from the point of view of semiclassical asymptotics. In particular, (i) we establish several important consequences of the mixed-type limiting quasilinear system including the existence of maps that embed the limiting forms of both the focusing and defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equations into the framework of a single limiting system for the modified equation, (ii) we obtain bounds for the location of the discrete spectrum for the associated spectral problem that are particularly suited to the semiclassical limit and that generalize known results for the spectrum of the nonselfadjoint Zakharov-Shabat spectral problem, and (iii) we present a multiparameter family of initial data for which we solve the associated spectral problem in terms of special functions for all values of the semiclassical scaling parameter. We view our results as part of a broader project to analyze the semiclassical limit of the modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation via the noncommutative steepest descent procedure of Deift and Zhou, and we also present a selfcontained development of a Riemann-Hilbert problem of inverse scattering that differs from those given in the literature and that is well adapted to semiclassical asymptotics.     

Femtosecond soliton propagating in slow group-velocity fiber

The slow group-velocity pulse in fiber described by nonlinear Schrödinger equation were demonstrated and investigated extensively. We derive a more generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation as the superposition of monochromatic waves and numerically study the propagations of 2.5-fs fundamental and 5-fs second-order solitons. It is found that, for a slow-group velocity fiber, the magnitude of time shift is related with the group velocity and the more generalized NLSE is more suitable than the conventional generalized NLSE. When the pulse is slow down to 50% of normal group velocity (c/n₀), the effect of the higher nonlinear terms is significant.     

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.     

Multi-soliton management by the integrable nonautonomous nonlinear integro-differential Schrödinger equation

We consider a wide class of integrable nonautonomous nonlinear integro-differential Schrödinger equation which contains the models for the soliton management in Bose–Einstein condensates, nonlinear optics, and inhomogeneous Heisenberg spin chain. With the help of the nonisospectral AKNS hierarchy, we obtain the N-fold Darboux transformation and the N-fold soliton-like solutions for the equation. The soliton management, especially the synchronized dispersive and nonlinear management in optical fibers is discussed. It is found that in the situation without external potential, the synchronized dispersive and nonlinear management can keep the integrability of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation; this suggests that in optical fibers, the synchronized dispersive and nonlinear management can control and maintain the propagation of a multi-soliton.     

Evolution of the exact spatiotemporal periodic wave and soliton solutions of the (3 + 1)-dimensional generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation with distributed coefficients

In this paper the spatiotemporal evolution of the periodic wave is investigated analytically when the laser passes through the inhomogeneous nonlinear medium. Firstly, the (3 + 1)-dimensional generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation with distributed coefficients is solved analytically by an improved homogeneous balance principle and F-expansion technique. A number of exact periodic traveling wave and spatiotemporal soliton solutions are obtained. Then, their propagation characteristics are analyzed in detail. It is found that the evolutions of propagation of spatiotemporal soliton and periodic wave solutions are regular when the diffraction and dispersion coefficients are the identical distributed coefficients, but the evolutions of propagation of these solutions are irregular with other coefficients.
