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).     

非局域表面暗孤子及其稳定性分析

非局域体介质中的暗孤子及表面亮孤子由于在光通信领域的潜在应用而受到极大关注,然而到目前为止却没有对非局域表面暗孤子的研究.在线性介质和非局域非线性介质的分界面上,数值模拟得到了1+1维非局域基态和二阶表面暗孤子,研究了它们的波形与传播常数和介质非局域程度的关系,基于它们的稳定性分析进行了理论推导和数值模拟.稳定性分析结果表明:1+1维非局域基态表面暗孤子在其存在区域总是稳定的,而二阶表面暗孤子是区域不稳定的,其不稳定区域的宽度与传播常数以及介质的非局域程度有关系,且受传播常数的影响更大.加噪声的初始输入传输图验证了稳定性分析结果的正确性.     

高阶效应影响下高阶孤子在超常介质中的传输特性研究

基于描述超短脉冲在超常介质中传输的非线性薛定谔方程,本文数值研究了高阶效应影响下高阶亮、暗孤子在超常介质中的传输情况。数值模拟表明,三阶色散和自陡峭效应都会引起高阶孤子的分裂和辐射,破坏高阶亮孤子周期性演化特性,导致高阶暗孤子分裂出的灰孤子不对称;孤子的阶数越高,三阶色散和自陡峭的影响越大。利用超常介质可控的色散和非线性特性,通过调节三阶色散和自陡峭效应的系数,发现超常介质中可以基本支持二阶亮孤子、二阶暗孤子和三阶暗孤子的稳定演化。本文的研究结果为将来进一步研究超常介质中高阶亮、暗孤子的存在及传输特性提供了一定的参考价值。

Dark and anti-dark vector solitons of the coupled modified nonlinear Schrödinger equations from the birefringent optical fibers

Coupled modified nonlinear Schr?dinger (CMNLS) equations describe the pulse propagation in the picosecond or femtosecond regime of the birefringent optical fibers. A new type of the Lax pair and another hierarchy of the infinitely many conservation laws are derived based on the Wadati-Konno-Ichikawa system. By means of the Hirota method, soliton solutions in the normal dispersion regime are obtained. Parametric regions for the existence of dark and anti-dark vector soliton solutions are given. Asymptotic analysis shows that the collision between two solitons (two anti-dark solitons, two dark solitons, or dark and anti-dark solitons) in each polarization direction is elastic. Moreover, there is no energy transfer between two polarization components of each vector soliton, whether dark or anti-dark vector soliton. In addition, dark and anti-dark solitons can coexist on the same background seen from the collision between the dark and anti-dark solitons in one polarization direction. Our graphical analysis shows that the parameters in the CMNLS equations not only determine the regions for the existence of dark and anti-dark soliton solutions but also control the phase and direction of the propagation of the solitons. Finally, through the linear stability analysis, the modulational instability condition is given.     

Some types of dark soliton interactions in inhomogeneous optical fibers

Dark solitons are the subject of intense theoretical and experimental studies in nonlinear optics due to their unique characteristics compared with bright solitons. In this paper, the variable coefficient high-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the inhomogeneous optical fiber is investigated. Via the Hirota bilinear method and symbolic computation, the analytic dark two-soliton solutions are obtained. With the suitable choices of functions and coefficients for the obtained dark two-soliton solutions, some new phenomena are presented for the first time. The influences on phases and amplitudes of soliton interactions are detailed analyzed. Moreover, sets of double-triangle structures and methods of changing the propagation direction of dark solitons are introduced. Finally, by choosing suitable functions of the fourth-order dispersion parameter, the arch-structure and M-structure interactions are revealed. Results may be potentially useful in designing all-optical switches and optical fibers.

Study of the gain saturation effect on the propagation of dark soliton in Er-doped, Ga5Ge20Sb10S65 chalcogenide fiber amplifier

We study the effect of gain saturation on the propagation of fundamental dark soliton in a nonlinear, dispersive and amplifying medium. The Er^+ 3-doped, Ga₅Ge₂₀Sb₁₀S₆₅ chalcogenide glass is used for dark and erbium doped silicon glass for bright solitons. The numerical simulations show that dark soliton doesn't split to subpulses unlike bright soliton and also the dark soliton is more stable in the presence of gain saturation and gain dispersion effects. So the chalcogenide glasses are suitable for designing all optical devices.     

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.     

Gap and dark solitons in discrete photorefractive media with?intensity-resonant nonlinearity

Light propagation in one-dimensional nonlinear waveguide arrays with self-defocusing intensity-resonant nonlinearity is investigated theoretically. We study thoroughly conditions for existence and stability of both gap and discrete dark solitons. According to the linear stability analysis both fundamental types (on-site and intersite) of gap solitons may be stable. Discrete dark solitons are unstable except in the low-power regime and, depending on system parameters, evolve into either gray solitons, breathers, or background radiation. Mobility of these solitons is analyzed by the free energy concept: gap solitons are immobile but dark solitons can be easily set in motion.     

Bright and dark spatial solitons in metallic nanowire arrays

We investigate the formation and propagation of bright and dark three-dimensional unstaggered spatial solitons with cylindrical symmetry in a nonlinear nanowire metamaterial. The metamaterial is formed by metallic nanowires embedded in a Kerr-type dielectric host and is modeled using an effective medium approach. Unlike conventional Kerr media, the metamaterial supports bright solitons when the host is a self-defocusing material and dark solitons when the host is a self-focusing material. Our numerical calculations show that the confinement of the spatial-solitons results from the interplay of the host nonlinear response strength and the hyperbolic dispersion of the photonic states in the nanowire array. Subwavelength solitary beams may be observed for sufficiently strong nonlinearities.     

Exact solutions for bright and dark solitons in spatially inhomogeneous nonlinearity

We present exact analytical results for bright and dark solitons in a type of one-dimensional spatially inhomogeneous nonlinearity. We show that the competition between a homogeneous self-defocusing (SDF) nonlinearity and a localized self-focusing (SF) nonlinearity supports stable fundamental bright solitons. For a specific choice of the nonlinear parameters, exact analytical solutions for fundamental bright solitons have been obtained. By applying both variational approximation and Vakhitov-Kolokolov stability criterion, it is found that exact fundamental bright solitons are stable. Our analytical results are also confirmed numerically. Additionally, we show that a homogeneous SF nonlinearity modulated by a localized SF nonlinearity allows the existence of exact dark solitons, for certain special cases of nonlinear parameters. By making use of linear stability analysis and direct numerical simulation, it is found that these exact dark solitons are linearly unstable.     

Properties of pulsating solitons in dissipative systems

<正>In this paper,a set of detailed numerical simulations of pulsating solitons in certain regions,where the pulsating solitons exist,have been carried out.The results show that the transformation between pulsating soliton and fronts can be realized through a series of period-doubling bifurcations,while there exist many kinds of special solutions.The complete transformation diagram has been obtained when the value of nonlinear gain varies within a definite range.The detailed analysis of the diagram reveals that the pulsating soliton experiences period-doubling bifurcations for smaller values of the nonlinear gain.For larger values of it,the pulsating solitons show chaotic behaviour and complex pulse splitting except for some special bifurcations.With the value of nonlinear gain increasing further,the pulse profiles resume pulsating,but the pulse energy is much higher than before and the pulse centre may move along the propagation direction.     

Higher-order space-charge field effects on the self-deflection of photovoltaic dark spatial solitons

We investigate theoretically the effects of higher-order space-charge field on the self-deflection of photovoltaic dark spatial solitons by numerical method under steady-state conditions. The expression for an induced space-charge electric field, including higher-order space-charge field terms is obtained. Numerical results indicate that photovoltaic dark solitons possess self-deflection process during propagation, and the solitons always bend in the direction of the c-axis of the crystal. The self-deflection of dark solitons can experience considerable increase especially in the regime of high photovoltaic field strengths. Relevant examples are provided.
