损耗对屏蔽光伏空间孤子演化特性的影响

研究了晶体损耗对屏蔽光伏空间孤子在加偏压的光伏光折变晶体中演化特性的影响.结果表明,损耗除了造成屏蔽光伏孤子光波振幅的减小外,还造成了孤子横截面的改变.对于明孤子,当入射波光强较低时,横截面随传播距离的增长而不断增大;而当入射波光强较高时,起初横截面不断压缩,而后再膨胀,并在某一传播距离上孤子横截面恢复到入射时的尺寸.对于暗孤子,不论入射光孤子光强的高低,横截面都随传播距离的增长而不断增大.虽然在传播距离足够短时,可以不考虑损耗的影响,但距离较大时,损耗将最终导致孤子崩溃. 关键词： 非线性光学 空间光孤子 光折变效应     

Interaction Between Line Soliton and Algebraic Soliton for Asymmetric Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov Equation

Starting from the variable separation approach, the algebraic soliton solution and the solution describing the interaction between line soliton and algebraic soliton are obtained by selecting appropriate seed solution for （2＋1）-dimensional ANNV equation. The behaviors of interactions are discussed in detail both analytically and graphically. It is shown that there are two kinds of singular interactions between line soliton and algebraic soliton： 1） the resonant interaction where the algebraic soliton propagates together with the line soliton and persists infinitely; 2） the extremely repulsive interaction where the algebraic soliton affects the motion of the line soliton infinitely apart.     

Analytical Descriptions of Dark and Gray Solitons in Nonlocal Nonlinear Media

By using the standard symmetry reduction method, the gray/dark solitons and periodic waves (gray/dark soliton lattice) are analytically studied for the nonlinear optical media with periodic nonlocal response. It is found that there are two critical points for the quantity β ≡ w_m²/w₀², the multiplication of the square of the wave number (1/w₀) and the strength (w_m²) of the nonlocality both for the soliton and periodic solutions. The soliton solution exists only for β ≤ 1/4 and the soliton is a double well gray soliton for β > 1/8 while it is a single well gray soliton for β ≤ 1/8. The soliton is dark only for β = 1/4, otherwise it is a gray soliton. Similar critical points exist for the gray/dark soliton lattice solutions.

Bright-dark incoherently coupled soliton pairs composed of spatially incoherent solitons

It is shown that bright-dark incoherently coupled soliton pairs can exist in photorefractive (PR) crystals under steady-state conditions, each soliton constituent of which is spatially incoherent. The characteristics of bright-dark incoherently coupled soliton pairs are studied by the coherent density approach and the intensity expressions of soliton pairs are obtained. The propagation properties of coherent components of each constituent in a soliton pair are also discussed in detail.     

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.     

Soliton switching study using new normalized nonlinear Schrödinger equations

Soliton switching in a nonlinear directional coupler (NLDC) is studied by using new normalized nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLSE). The resulted equations have one parameter κL_D only, this feature greatly simplifies the numerical study of soliton coupling in a NLDC, and it enables us to derive the soliton switching conditions based on numerical analysis. Numerical results show that most of the input soliton energy remains in the launched waveguide when input soliton normalized peak power is bigger than 2.5. It is contrary to the existing theoretical expectations which were derived using variational approach. The fundamental soliton switching conditions is also expressed in terms of input soliton pulse width. In addition, it is found that frequency chirp degrades soliton switching performance in a NLDC.

非相干耦合的亮和暗光伏空间孤子对的偏转特性

采用数值方法研究了在一个具有扩散效应的光伏光折变晶体中的非相干耦合的亮和暗光伏空间孤子对的偏转特性.结果表明,由于非相干相互作用,晶体中的一个亮孤子和一个暗孤子互相俘获,且两个孤子的中心沿着相同的轨迹移动.发现,当亮孤子的入射峰值强度不变时,通过调节暗孤子的入射背景强度可以控制亮孤子的偏转;当暗孤子的入射背景强度处于一个特殊值时,亮孤子的偏转被抑制,而当暗孤子的入射背景强度偏离这个特殊值时,亮孤子发生偏转.同样,当暗孤子的入射背景强度不变时,其偏转可以通过调节亮孤子的入射峰值强度来控制.

Effect of a localized impurity on soliton dynamics in the Bose-Einstein condensates

By using a multiple-scale method,we analytically study the effect of a localized impurity on the soliton dynamics in the Bose-Einstein condensates.It is shown that a dark soliton can be transmitted through a repulsive (or attractive) impurity,while at the position of the localized impurity the soliton can be quasitrapped by the impurity.Additionally,we find that the strength of the localized impurity has an important effect on the dark soliton dynamics.With increasing strength of the localized impurity,the amplitude of the dark soliton becomes bigger,while its width is narrower,and the soliton propagates slower.

Steering of weak-light spatial solitons in a resonant lambda-type atomic system

We study steering of weak-light solitons in a resonant lambda-type atomic system. Signal soliton steering can be realized via input angle and power control of the control soliton. It is shown that, the deflection angle of a vertical input signal soliton increases linearly with the increase of the input angle of the control soliton due to the repulsive effect in collision, and thus leads to the increase of the output position shift of the signal soliton. When a signal soliton is input parallel with a control soliton, the output position shift of the signal soliton depends parabolically on the normalized power of the control soliton. Decreasing their soliton separation can increase the output position shift of the signal soliton. These properties may be useful in all-optical soliton switching and optical information processing, etc.     

Stable new bound soliton pairs in a 10 GHz hybrid frequency modulation mode-locked Er-fiber laser

We report what is, to our knowledge, the first experimental observation of stable new bound soliton pairs at the 10 GHz repetition rate in a hybrid FM harmonic mode-locked Er-fiber laser (1177 soliton pairs simultaneously in the laser cavity). The two solitons in the soliton pair have the identical pulse shape and are with the antiphase (pi phase difference). Their time separation is about three times the FWHM soliton width and varies with the phase modulation strength. The corresponding mechanism for explaining the formation as well as the superior stability of these closely bound soliton pairs is also given.     

Variable Separation Solution for （1＋1）-Dimensional Nonlinear Models Related to Schroedinger Equation

A variable separation approach is proposed and successfully extended to the (1 1)-dimensional physics models. The new exact solution of (1 1)-dimensional nonlinear models related to Schr6dinger equation by the entrance of three arbitrary functions is obtained. Some special types of soliton wave solutions such as multi-soliton wave solution,non-stable soliton solution, oscillating soliton solution, and periodic soliton solutions are discussed by selecting the arbitrary functions appropriately.     

One-dimensional spatial solitons in AlGaAs waveguides

We present experimental results on one-dimensional (1-D) spatial solitons in AlGaAs waveguides. Three distinct types of spatial solitons have been observed: namely the fundamental soliton, the Manakov soliton, and the vector soliton. The fundamental soliton is the simplest form of 1-D soliton which consists of a single polarization. The properties of waveguiding and ‘robustness’ are experimentally studied. Vector solitons which result from the complex interplay between the two orthogonally polarized beams due to self-phase modulation, cross-phase modulation, and four-wave mixing effects are studied. The complex beam dynamics and polarization behaviour of the vector solitons are experimentally studied. Manakov solitons which are a special case of the vector soliton exist when the ratio between the self-to-cross-phase modulation is one and the four-wave mixing effects becomes zero are demonstrated experimentally and the basic properties discussed. Finally, some soliton interactions such as trapping and dragging are reported and possible applications of soliton interactions are discussed.     

Ion-acoustic dressed solitons in electron-positron-ion plasmas

Expanding the Sagdeev potential to include fourth-order nonlinearities of electric potential and integrating the resulting energy equation, an exact soliton solution is determined for ion-acoustic waves in an electron-positron-ion (e-p-i) plasma system. This exact solution reduces to the dressed soliton solution obtained for the system using renormalization procedure in the reductive perturbation method (RPM), when Mach number (M) is expanded in terms of soliton velocity (λ) and terms up to order of λ² are retained in the analysis. Variation of shape, velocity, width and product (P) of amplitude (A) and square of width (W²) for the KdV soliton, core structure, dressed soliton, and exact soliton are graphically represented for different values of fractional positron concentration (p). It is found that for a given value of the fractional positron concentration (p) and amplitude of soliton, the velocity of the dressed soliton is faster and width is narrower than the KdV or exact soliton, and agrees qualitatively with the experimental observations of Ikezi et al. for small amplitude solitons in the plasma free from positron component. Among all these structures, the product P(AW²) is found to be lowest for the dressed soliton and it decreases as Mach number of soliton or fractional positron concentration in the plasma increases.     

(2+1)维光学孤子在饱和非线性介质中的模式特征

Dark soliton switching in an NLDC in the presence of higher-order perturbative effects

Dark soliton switching in a nonlinear directional coupler in the presence of intermodal dispersion, cross-phase modulation (CPM), third-order dispersion, Raman effect, and self-steepening effect is reported for the first time. It is shown that, with the exception of CPM, all of the other perturbative effects have almost no effect on the switching characteristics of the dark soliton switch, which is an improvement over the corresponding bright soliton switch. Although the CPM increases the critical power of dark soliton switching, the soliton pulse remains stable inside the coupler during its propagation.
