Various Kinds Waves and Solitons Interaction Solutions of Boussinesq Equation Describing Ultrashort Pulse in Quadratic Nonlinear Medium

The consistent tanh expansion (CTE) method is applied to the (2+1)-dimensional Boussinesq equation which describes the propagation of ultrashort pulse in quadratic nonlinear medium. The interaction solutions are explicitly given, such as the bright soliton-periodic wave interaction solution, variational amplitude periodic wave solution, and kink-periodic wave interaction solution. We also obtain the bright soliton solution, kind bright soliton solution, double well dark soliton solution and kink-bright soliton interaction solution by using Painlevé truncated expansion method. And we investigate interactive properties of solitons and periodic waves.     

Dynamics of large-amplitude solitons

The interaction and generation of solitons in nonlinear integrable systems which allow the existence of a soliton of limiting amplitude are considered. The integrable system considered is the Gardner equation, which includes the Korteweg-de Vries equation (for quadratic nonlinearity) and the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation (for cubic nonlinearity) as special cases. A two-soliton solution of the Gardner equation is derived, and a criterion, which distinguishes between different scenarios for the interaction of two solitons, is determined. The evolution of an initial pulsed disturbance is considered. It is shown, in particular, that solitons of opposite polarity appear during such evolution on the crest of a limiting soliton. Zh. éksp.

Self-similar evolution of parabolic pulses in a laser

Self-similar propagation of ultrashort, parabolic pulses in a laser resonator is observed theoretically and experimentally. This constitutes a new type of pulse shaping in mode-locked lasers: in contrast to the well-known static (solitonlike) and breathing (dispersion-managed soliton) pulse evolutions, asymptotic solutions to the nonlinear wave equation that governs pulse propagation in most of the laser cavity are observed. Stable self-similar pulses exist with energies much greater than can be tolerated in solitonlike pulse shaping, and this has implications for practical lasers.     

Dark-in-the-Bright solitary wave solution of higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with non-Kerr terms

We present new type of Dark-in-the-Bright solution also called dipole soliton for the higher order nonlinear Schrödinger (HNLS) equation with non-Kerr nonlinearity under some parametric conditions and subject to constraint relation among the parameters in optical context. This equation could be a model equation of pulse propagation beyond ultrashort range in optical communication systems. The solitary wave solution is composed of the product of bright and dark solitary waves. This type of pulse shape to be formed both the group velocity dispersion and third-order dispersion must be compensated. We also investigated the stability of the solitary wave solution under some initial perturbation on the parametric conditions. We have shown that the shape of pulse remains unchanged up to 20 normalized lengths even under some very small violation in parametric conditions.     

Soliton formation in the propagation of phase-modulated femtosecond pulses through an optical fiber with a cubic nonlinearity

A way of soliton self-formation upon propagation of femtosecond light pulses through an optical fiber with a cubic nonlinearity is described with allowance for the dispersion of the nonlinear response of the medium. For soliton formation to occur, a low-frequency phase modulation of the initial pulse is necessary. Several solitons formed in this way differ in both maximal intensities and group velocities. The duration of an individual soliton may be several (up to ten) times smaller than the initial duration of the input pulse.     

Effect of the dissipation, dispersion, and diffraction on the amplitude and the transverse stability of solitons

The transverse stability and the amplitude variations of soliton-like wave motions in the presence of nonlinearity, dispersion, diffraction, and dissipation in the medium are studied. The wave process is described by a quintic nonlinear evolution equation. It is demonstrated that the stability of the solution does not depend on the dissipation when the dissipation, diffraction, and dispersion are of the same order of magnitude. It depends on the sign of the ratio of the diffraction and dispersion coefficients. When the sign is positive, the soliton is stable. This result coincides with the stability condition for a nonlinear modulation wave. For the case of strong dissipation, an expression describing the soliton amplitude is obtained and the dissipation is shown to have no effect on the soliton stability.     

Modulational instability in the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation through the variational approach

The dynamics of nonlinear pulse propagation in an average dispersion-managed soliton system is governed by a constant coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. For a special set of parameters the constant coefficient NLS equation is completely integrable. The same constant coefficient NLS equation is also applicable to optical fiber systems with phase modulation or pulse compression. We also investigate MI arising in the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation for ultrashort pulse propagation. Within this framework, we derive ordinary differential equations (ODE’s) for the time evolution of the amplitude and phase of modulation perturbations. Analyzing the ensuing ODE’s, we derive the classical modulational instability criterion and identify it numerically. We show that the quintic nonlinearity can be essential for the stability of solutions. The evolutions of modulational instability are numerically investigated and the effects of the quintic nonlinearity on the evolutions are examined. Numerical simulations demonstrate the validity of the analytical predictions.     

Spectral representation of solution of cubically nonlinear equation for the Riemann simple wave

For the implicit solution to the cubically nonlinear equation of the Riemann wave (a simple wave equation), its exact explicit Fourier transform is obtained. The latter corresponds to the transformation of the initial sinusoidal profile until the discontinuity formation and, beyond it, to the asymptotic behavior of the same profile at large distances. The significance of the given solutions for the problems with cubic nonlinearity is identical to the significance of the well-known Fubini solution and the limiting version of the Fay solution for conventional nonlinear acoustics.     

Symbolic computation on the bright soliton solutions for the generalized coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with cubic–quintic nonlinearity

Under investigation in this paper are the generalized coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with cubic–quintic nonlinearity which describe the effects of the quintic nonlinearity on the ultrashort optical soliton pulse propagation in the non-Kerr media. Via the dependent variable transformation and Hirota method, the bilinear form is derived. Based on the bilinear form obtained, the one-, two- and three-soliton solutions are presented in the form of exponential polynomials with the help of symbolic computation. Propagation and interactions of solitons are investigated analytically and graphically. Evolution of one soliton is discussed with the analysis of such physical quantities as the soliton amplitude, width, velocity, initial phase and energy. Interactions of the solitons appear in the forms of the repulsion or attraction alternately and propagation in parallel. Inelastic and head-on interactions of the solitons are also showed. Finally, via the asymptotic analysis, conditions of the elastic and inelastic interactions are obtained.     

Dynamics of wave packets and soliton interaction in terms of the third-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We present the results of numerical study of the evolution of wave packets and envelope soliton interaction in terms of the third-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation. It is shown that an arbitrary initial pulse evolves to a few solitons and a linear quasiperiodic wave. The interaction of solitons is accompanied by the radiation of part of the wave field in the form of a linear quasiperiodic wave from the interaction region, amplification of the soliton with larger amplitude and attenuation of the soliton with smaller amplitude.     

Spontaneous soliton formation with a saturated nonlinearity in a weakly nonlinear medium

We have observed the effect of a saturated nonlinearity on the process of spontaneous soliton formation in a weakly nonlinear medium with absorption. The characteristic properties of the problem are investigated on the basis of a model equation designated as a nonlinear Schrodinger equation with small perturbations describing the saturation of the nonlinearity and the absorption. The stability of the process of decay of the initial pulse is demonstrated by computational methods for a few specific cases. An effect described as an oscillation of the amplitude maximum of the formed pulse has been discovered.V. D. Kuznetsov Siberian Physicotechnical Institute, Tomsk University.

Nonlinear Dynamics of Circularly Polarized Laser Pulse Propagating in a Magnetized Plasma with q ‐Nonextensive Velocity Distributions

The nonlinear dynamics of a circularly polarized laser pulse propagating in magnetized plasma contains hot nonextensive q ‐distributed electrons and ions is studied theoretically. A nonlinear equation which describes the dynamics of the slowly varying amplitude electromagnetic wave is obtained using the relativistic two‐fluids model. Some nonlinear phenomena include modulational instability, self‐focusing, soliton formation, and longitudinal and transversal evolutions of laser pulse in nonextensive plasma medium are investigated. Results show that the nonextensivity of particles can substantially change the nonlinearity of medium. The external magnetic field enhances the modulation instability growth rate of right‐hand polarization wave but for the left‐hand polarization the growth rate decreases. The spot size of the laser pulse is strongly affected by the plasma nonextensivity. (© 2016 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Short optical solitons in fibers

The dynamics of short (of the order of a few wave periods) intense optical pulses and interaction of short optical solitons in fibers are considered within the framework of the third-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation. It is shown that an initial pulse tends to one or a few short solitons plus a linear quasiperiodic wave when the third-order linear dispersion and nonlinear dispersion have parameters of the same sign. The number and parameters of the solitons depend on the magnitudes of initial pulse parameters. Interaction of short optical solitons having different amplitudes is accompanied by radiation of part of the wave field from the area of interaction, by an increase of the soliton with larger amplitude, and a decrease of the soliton with a smaller one.

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.     

Adiabatic interaction between a dark soliton and a cnoidal wave with orthogonal circular polarizations in an isotropic gyrotropic nonlinear medium

An analytical solution to the one-dimensional (plane waves) nonintegrable problem of interaction (collision) of a dark soliton with a cnoidal wave (control and information signals with orthogonal circular polarizations) in an isotropic gyrotropic medium with Kerr nonlinearity and second-order groupvelocity dispersion is obtained in the adiabatic approximation. The asymptotic behavior of the obtained solution is considered. It is shown that the role of the control signal is reduced to strong amplitude and frequency modulation, which is localized only in the region of variation in the control signal intensity.     

Self-focusing of wave packets and envelope shock formation in nonlinear dispersive media

The self-action of three-dimensional wave packets is analyzed analytically and numerically under the conditions of competing diffraction, cubic nonlinearity, and nonlinear dispersion (dependence of group velocity on wave amplitude). A qualitative analysis of pulse evolution is performed by the moment method to find a sufficient condition for self-focusing. Self-action effects in an electromagnetically induced transparency medium (without cubic nonlinearity) are analyzed numerically. It is shown that the self-focusing of a wave packet is accompanied by self-steepening of the longitudinal profile and envelope shock formation. The possibility of envelope shock formation is also demonstrated for self-focusing wave packets propagating in a normally dispersive medium.     

Amplitude degradation of time-reversed pulses in nonlinear absorbing thermoviscous fluids

The linear wave equation in a lossless medium is time reversible, i.e., every solution p(x, t) has a temporal mirror solution p(x, -t). Analysis shows that time reversal also holds for the lossless nonlinear wave equation. In both cases, time-reversal invariance is violated when losses are present. For nonlinear propagation loses cannot normally be ignored; they are necessary to prevent the occurrence of multivalued waveforms. Further analysis of the nonlinear wave equation shows that amplification of a time-reversed pulse at the array elements also leads to a violation of time reversal even for lossless nonlinear acoustics. Numerical simulations are used to illustrate the effect of nonlinearity on the ability of a time-reversal system to effectively focus on a target in an absorbing fluid medium. We consider both the amplitude and arrival time of retrodirected pulses. The numerical results confirm that both shock generation (with the accompanying absorption) and amplification at the array, adversely affect the ability of a time-reversal system to form strong retrodirective sound fields.
