Dynamics of the Manakov Solitons in Biased Guest-Host Photorefractive Polymer

In the biased guest-host photorefractive polymer, the Manakov equations can be used to describe the optical soliton propagation and interaction. Hereby for such equations, via the Hirota method and symbolic computation, analytic soliton solutions in the bright-dark and dark-dark forms are obtained. Based on the choice of photorefractive polymer parameter and incident-optical-beam parameter, the bright-dark and dark-dark solitons as well as their interaction can occur in the polymer when the total intensity is much lower than the background illumination, and our analysis indicates that the incident light with different polarization directions influence little on the soliton propagation. γ, representing the soliton intensity far away from the soliton center, determines the appearance of bright or dark soliton under the background illumination. Through the graphic and asymptotic analysis on the two-soliton solutions along with the different γ, we find that there exist the elastic and inelastic interactions between the bright-dark solitons, while the interactions between the dark-dark solitons are always elastic.

The generalized nonlinear Schr?dinger equation (NLSE), which governs the dynamics of dispersion-managed (DM) solitons, is considered. A novel transformation is constructed such that the DM fibre system equation with optical loss (gain) is transformed to the standard NLSE under a restricted condition. Abundant new soliton and periodic wave solutions are obtained by using the transformation and the solutions of standard NLSE. Further, we discuss their main properties and the interaction scenario between two neighbouring solitons by using direct computer simulation.

Then we further discuss the dynamics of the one soliton and the interactions between two solitons in currently experimental conditions.     

Solitons for the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with Raman effect in nonlinear optics

Considering the ultrashort optical soliton propagation in the non-Kerr media, the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with Raman effect is studied through the dependent variable transformation and Hirota method. Based on symbolic computation, the bilinear form, the explicit one- and two-soliton solutions for the equation are presented. The constraint parametric condition for the existence of soliton solutions is also derived. Propagation characteristics and interaction behaviors of the solitons are graphically shown and discussed: (1) Overtaking elastic interactions of the two solitons; (2) periodic attraction and repulsion of the bounded states of two solitons; (3) propagation in parallel of the two solitons.     

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.     

Bright and dark solitons in the normal dispersion regime of inhomogeneous optical fibers: Soliton interaction and soliton control

Symbolically investigated in this paper is a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the varying dispersion and nonlinearity for the propagation of optical pulses in the normal dispersion regime of inhomogeneous optical fibers. With the aid of the Hirota method, analytic one- and two-soliton solutions are obtained. Relevant properties of physical and optical interest are illustrated. Different from the previous results, both the bright and dark solitons are hereby derived in the normal dispersion regime of the inhomogeneous optical fibers. Moreover, different dispersion profiles of the dispersion-decreasing fibers can be used to realize the soliton control. Finally, soliton interaction is discussed with the soliton control confirmed to have no influence on the interaction. The results might be of certain value for the study of the signal generator and soliton control.

Soliton interaction under the influence of higher-order effects

In this paper, we present exact N-soliton solution by employing simple, straightforward Darboux transformation based on the Lax pair for Hirota equation, a higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger (HNLS) equation. As examples, one- and two-soliton solutions in explicit forms are given and their properties are also analyzed. A bound solution without interaction will be theoretically predicted if one can adjust frequency shift for each soliton appropriately. Further, we obtain the approximate eigenvalues by employing two-soliton solution and discuss analytically the interaction between neighboring solitons under the influence of the higher-order effects. It is shown that the combined effects of the higher-order effects can restrain the interaction between neighboring solitons to some extent. The results are proved by directly solving HNLS equation numerically.

Double-Wronskian solitons and rogue waves for the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation in an inhomogeneous plasma

Plasmas are the main constituent of the Universe and the cause of a vast variety of astrophysical, space and terrestrial phenomena. The inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation is hereby investigated, which describes the propagation of an electron plasma wave packet with a large wavelength and small amplitude in a medium with a parabolic density and constant interactional damping. By virtue of the double Wronskian identities, the equation is proved to possess the double-Wronskian soliton solutions. Analytic one- and two-soliton solutions are discussed. Amplitude and velocity of the soliton are related to the damping coefficient. Asymptotic analysis is applied for us to investigate the interaction between the two solitons. Overtaking interaction, head-on interaction and bound state of the two solitons are given. From the non-zero potential Lax pair, the first- and second-order rogue-wave solutions are constructed via a generalized Darboux transformation, and influence of the linear and parabolic density profiles on the background density and amplitude of the rogue wave is discussed.     

Soliton Properties of Light Pulses on the Surface of Ionic Crystals Generated by Strong Nonlinear Effects

In this paper, we theoretically discuss the soliton properties of light pulse transportation on the surface of an ionic crystal having strong nonlinear interactions between ions of unit cells. We analyze in detail the dark solitons when the nonlinear coefficient g is positive and negative, respectively. It is found that whether the nonlinear coefficient g is positive or negative, the dark solitons can be formed over the whole dispersion relation area of surface polaritons considering nonlinear effects. Attention should be paid to the fact that around ωTO, the light pulse can form advanced dark solitons, and there is a switching area from advanced dark soliton to retarded dark soliton near ωTO. We also discuss the effects of higher nonlinear dispersion on the solitons.

Bright and dark soliton solutions in growing Bose-Einstein condensates

This paper develops the Hirota method carefully for applying into the growing model of quasi-one-dimensional Bose—Einstein condensations with attractive and repulsive interaction, respectively. After a tedious calculation it obtains the exact bright and dark soliton solutions analytically. It shows that the growing model has the important effect on the soliton amplitude and the time-dependent potential only contributes to the phase and phase velocity. A detailed analysis for the asymptotic behaviour of two-soliton solutions shows that the collision of two soliton is elastic.     

Darboux Transformation and Soliton Solutions for InhomogeneousCoupled Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations with Symbolic Computation

With the aid of computation, we consider the variable-coefficient coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with the effects of group-velocity dispersion, self-phase modulation and cross-phase modulation, which have potential applications in the long-distance communication of two-pulse propagation in inhomogeneous optical fibers. Based on the obtained nonisospectral linear eigenvalue problems (i.e. Lax pair), we construct the Darboux transformation for such a model to derive the optical soliton solutions. In addition, through the one- and two-soliton-like solutions, we graphically discuss the features ofpicosecond solitons in inhomogeneous optical fibers.     

Nonautonomous bright and dark solitons of Bose-Einstein condensates with Feshbach-managed time-dependent scattering length

We present a family of nonautonomous bright and dark soliton solutions of Bose-Einstein condensates with the time-dependent scattering length in an expulsive parabolic potential. These solutions show that the amplitude, width, and velocity of soliton can be manipulated by adjusting the atomic scattering length via Feshbach resonance. For the cases of both attractive and repulsive interactions, the total particle number is a conservation quantity, but the peak (dip) density can be controlled by the Feshbach resonance parameter. Especially, we investigate the modulation instability process in uniform Bose-Einstein condensates with attractive interaction and nonvanishing background, and clarify that the procedure of pattern formation is in fact the superposition of the perturbed dark and bright solitary waves. At last, we give the analytical expressions of nonautonomous dark one- and two-soliton solutions for repulsive interaction, and investigate their properties analytically.     

Exact chirped gray soliton solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with variable coefficients

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with variable coefficients, and by using direct transformation of variables and functions, the explicit chirped gray one- and two-soliton solutions are presented. Based on the exact solutions, we in detail analyze the propagation characteristics of the chirped gray soliton, including the stability against either the deviation from integrable condition or the initial perturbation, and interaction between the chirped gray solitons. The results show that the gray soliton can be compressed by choosing the appropriate initial chirp, and the chirped gray pulses can stably propagate along optical fibers remaining the character of solitons.

And we investigate interactive properties of solitons and periodic waves.     

Soliton Solutions in Three-Component Bose-Einstein Condensates

We obtain soliton and plane wave solutions for the coupled nonlinear Schrotinger equations, which describe the dynamics of the three-component Bose-Einstein condensates by using the Hirota method. Meanwhile we find that the system which has attractive atomic interaction will only possess a shape changing （inelastic） collision property due to intensity redistribution in the absence of the spin-exchange interaction. As a discussed example, we investigate the one-soliton, two-soliton solutions and collisional effects between bright two-soliotn solution, which lead to the intensity redistribu tion.
