Surface solitons at the interface between semi-infinite linear and thermal nonlinear optical media

We investigate numerically surface-wave solitons occurring at the interface between semi-infinite linear and thermal nonlinear optical media, with the refractive index of the linear medium being greater than that of the nonlinear medium (in the absence of light). We find that the threshold energy flows of the existence of the surface solitons depend on the linear refractive index difference of the two media. Their fitting empirical formula has been obtained. Furthermore, we elucidate that the optical beams propagating in thermal nonlinear optical media, either as a single surface soliton or as a dipole surface soliton, can be attracted to the surface, even when launched from far away.

Nonlinear compression of optical solitons

In this paper, we consider nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations, both in the anomalous and normal dispersive regimes, which govern the propagation of a single field in a fiber medium with phase modulation and fibre gain (or loss). The integrability conditions are arrived from linear eigen value problem. The variable transformations which connect the integrable form of modified NLS equations are presented. We succeed in Hirota bilinearzing the equations and on solving, exact bright and dark soliton solutions are obtained. From the results, we show that the soliton is alive, i.e. pulse area can be conserved by the inclusion of gain (or loss) and phase modulation effects.     

超常介质中暗孤子的形成和传输特性研究

利用一种扩展的双曲函数级数方法求解超常介质中的传输方程，得到了各种不同情形下的暗孤子解，分析了可控自陡效应和二阶非线性色散效应对孤子形成和传输特性的影响.结果表明，超常介质中负的自陡效应使得暗孤子的中心位置随传输距离向脉冲前沿方向漂移，与常规介质中自陡效应(恒为正)的作用相反；特别是，由于二阶非线性色散的作用，使得在没有线性群速度色散的情形下同样可形成孤子，而且在反常线性色散情形也可形成暗孤子.     

Effect of temperature on the evolution of bright and dark screening—photovoltaic spatial solitons

We investigate theoretically the temperature effects on the evolution of both bright and dark screening-photovoltaic optical spatial solitons in biased photovoltaic-photocefractive crystals in the case of neglecting the diffusion process.For a stable bright or dark screening-photovoltaic soliton originally formed in a crystal at a given temperature,when the crystal temperature changes,it will evolve into another stable screening-photovoltaic soliton if the change is quite small,whereas it will become unstable or break down if the temperature change is large enough.The spatial shape of a stable screening-photovoltaic soliton can be reshaped by appropriately adjusting the crystal temperature.     

Three-dimensional dissipative optical solitons

A brief overview of recent theoretical results in the area of three-dimensional dissipative optical solitons is given. A systematic analysis demonstrates the existence and stability of both fundamental (spinless) and spinning three-dimensional dissipative solitons in both normal and anomalous group-velocity regimes. Direct numerical simulations of the evolution of stationary solitons of the three-dimensional cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation show full agreement with the predictions based on computation of the instability eigenvalues from the linearized equations for small perturbations. It is shown that the diffusivity in the transverse plane is necessary for the stability of vortex solitons against azimuthal perturbations, while fundamental (zero-vorticity) solitons may be stable in the absence of diffusivity. It has also been found that, at values of the nonlinear gain above the upper border of the soliton existence domain, the three-dimensional dissipative solitons either develop intrinsic pulsations or start to expand in the temporal (longitudinal) direction keeping their structure in the transverse spatial plane.

局域单PT对称势中多级孤子的传输特性研究

具有Parity-Time(PT)对称性的光学系统是近年提出的一种新型光学结构,在光开关、光子信息处理器件等方面具有潜在的应用。研究了局域单PT对称光学系统中双级孤子和三级孤子的存在范围与稳定特性。研究结果表明:多级孤子存在一临界传播常数,传播常数对应了线性模下的本征值。双级孤子和三级孤子仅能在较深的PT对称势中才能稳定地传输。多级孤子的稳定性的范围随着PT对称势的深度增加而扩大;孤子的能量随着传播常数的增大而增加,但随着PT对称势的调制深度的增加而减少。     

Quasistable bright dissipative holographic solitons in photorefractive two-wave mixing system

The dynamical evolution of both signal and pump beams are traced by numerically solving the coupled-wave equation for a photorefractive two-wave mixing system. The direct simulations show that, when the intensity ratio of the pump beam to the signal beam is large enough, the pump beam presents a common decaying behaviour without modulational instability (MI), while the signal beam can evolve into a quasistable spatial soliton within a regime in which the pump beam is depleted slightly. The larger the ratio is, the longer the regime is. Such quasistable solitons can overcome the initial perturbations and numerical noises in the course of propagation, perform several cycles of slow oscillation in intensity and width, and persist over tens of diffraction lengths. From physical viewpoints, these solitons actually exist as completely rigorous physical objects. If the ratio is quite small, the pump beam is apt to show MI, during which the signal beam experiences strong expansion and shrinking in width and a drastic oscillation in intensity, or completely breaks up. The simulations using actual experimental parameters demonstrate that the observation of an effectively stable soliton is quite possible in the proposed system.     

Evolution and stability of spatial solitons in a photorefractive two-wave mixing system

The dynamical evolution and stability of bright dissipative holographic solitons in biased photorefractive materials in which the self-trapping beam obtains a gain from the pump beam via two-wave mixing has been investigated numerically. Results show that these solitons are stable relative to small perturbations. Adjusting some system parameters, such as the bias field and the angle between beams, can easily control the generation of such solitons. Potential applications in optical switches or repeaters are discussed.     

Subpicosecond pulse compression in nonlinear photonic crystal waveguides based on the formation of high-order optical solitons

We investigate by numerical simulation the compression of subpicosecond pulses in two-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystal (PC) waveguides. The compression originates from the generation of high-order optical solitons through the interplay of the huge group-velocity dispersion and the enhanced self-phase modulation in nonlinear PC waveguides.Both the formation of Bragg grating solitons and gap solitons can lead to efficient pulse compression. The compression factors under different excitation power densities and the optimum length for subpicosecond pulse compression have been determined. As a compressor, the total length of the nonlinear PC waveguide is only ten micrometres and therefore can be easily incorporated into PC integrated circuits.     

Multi-peak solitons in PT-symmetric Bessel optical lattices with defects

This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the existence and stability of multi-peak solitons in parity–time-symmetric Bessel optical lattices with defects in nonlinear media. The results demonstrate that there always exists a critical propagation constant μ _c for the existence of multi-peak solitons regardless of whether the nonlinearity is self-focusing or self-defocusing. In self-focusing media, multi-peak solitons exist when the propagation constant μ > μ _c . In the self-defocusing case, solitons exist only when μ < μ _c . Only low-power solitons can propagate stably when random noise perturbations are present. Positive defects help stabilize the propagation of multi-peak solitons when the nonlinearity is self-focusing. When the nonlinearity is self-defocusing, however, multi-peak solitons in negative defects have wider stable regions than those in positive defects.

强非局域介质中1+1维高斯型损耗空间双孤子的相互作用

研究了1+1维高斯型双光束在含小损耗的强非局域非线性介质中的传输特性。通过对该介质中光束传输遵循的非局域非线性薛定谔方程进行近似简化,得到了含小损耗强非局域非线性介质中1+1维高斯型双光束传输模型。在此基础上运用解析的方法研究了双光束传输的演化规律,得到了准双孤子解。经过进一步分析发现,在传输过程中两光束中心的轨迹为艾里函数;两光束会准周期性地碰撞、分离;随着传输距离的增大,两光束中心之间的最大距离会越来越大。另一方面,当损耗逐渐增大时,两光束的碰撞空间周期将变短,同时两光束中心之间的最大距离也越来越大。     

暗孤子在高斯变迹光纤光栅中的演化

运用快速傅里叶方法数值模拟了暗孤子在高斯变迹光纤光栅中的演化以及暗孤子之间的相互作用。结果表明,在一定条件下光纤光栅的正常色散区可以维持暗孤子的稳定传输,并且孤子的稳定性与f的取值(孤子离禁带的位置)和非线性系数有关。输入两个暗孤子时,孤子之间的相互作用随f的增大而加强,当f继续增大时孤子中心和背景处出现震荡现象并演化产生灰孤子;f越大,两个孤子的稳定性对非线性效应越敏感。

Diverse chirped optical solitons and new complex traveling waves in nonlinear optical fibers

This paper studies chirped optical solitons in nonlinear optical fibers. However, we obtain diverse soliton solutions and new chirped bright and dark solitons, trigonometric function solutions and rational solutions by adopting two formal integration methods. The obtained results take into account the different conditions set on the parameters of the nonlinear ordinary differential equation of the new extended direct algebraic equation method. These results are more general compared to Hadi et al(2018 Optik 172 545–53) and Yakada et al(2019 Optik197 163108).
