Integrable equations of the infinite nonlinear Schrödinger equation hierarchy with time variable coefficients
Publisher: AIP Publishing
Date: 25-09-2015
DOI: 10.1063/1.4931710
Abstract: We present an infinite nonlinear Schrödinger equation hierarchy of integrable equations, together with the recurrence relations defining it. To demonstrate integrability, we present the Lax pairs for the whole hierarchy, specify its Darboux transformations and provide several ex les of solutions. These resulting wavefunctions are given in exact analytical form. We then show that the Lax pair and Darboux transformation formalisms still apply in this scheme when the coefficients in the hierarchy depend on the propagation variable (e.g., time). This extension thus allows for the construction of complicated solutions within a greatly ersified domain of generalised nonlinear systems.

Multisoliton complexes on a background
Publisher: American Physical Society (APS)
Date: 05-2000
Abstract: We obtain solutions of M coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations that describe multisoliton complexes (MCs) on a background. We present explicit multiparameter families of solutions and numerical simulations, demonstrating specific features of MCs and their collisions. It is shown, in particular, that a MC on a background can have a complicated intensity profile due to a nonlinear superposition of pairs of bright and dark single solitons.

Dissipative solitons with extreme spikes in the normal and anomalous dispersion regimes

Date: 11-06-2018
Abstract: Prigogine’s ideas of systems far from equilibrium and self-organization (Prigogine & Lefever. 1968 J. Chem. Phys. 48 , 1695–1700 ( doi:10.1063/1.1668896 ) Glansdorff & Prigogine. 1971 Thermodynamic theory of structures, stability and fluctuations . New York, NY/London, UK: Wiley) deeply influenced physics, and soliton science in particular. These ideas allowed the notion of solitons to be extended from purely integrable cases to the concept of dissipative solitons. The latter are qualitatively different from the solitons in integrable and Hamiltonian systems. The variety in their forms is huge. In this paper, one recent ex le is considered—dissipative solitons with extreme spikes (DSESs). It was found that DSESs exist in large regions of the parameter space of the complex cubic–quintic Ginzburg–Landau equation. A continuous variation in any of its parameters results in a rich structure of bifurcations. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Dissipative structures in matter out of equilibrium: from chemistry, photonics and biology (part 1)’.
Experiments on wind-perturbed rogue wave hydrodynamics using the Peregrine breather model
Publisher: AIP Publishing
Date: 10-2013
DOI: 10.1063/1.4824706
Abstract: Being considered as a prototype for description of oceanic rogue waves, the Peregrine breather solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation has been recently observed and intensely investigated experimentally in particular within the context of water waves. Here, we report the experimental results showing the evolution of the Peregrine solution in the presence of wind forcing in the direction of wave propagation. The results show the persistence of the breather evolution dynamics even in the presence of strong wind and chaotic wave field generated by it. Furthermore, we have shown that characteristic spectrum of the Peregrine breather persists even at the highest values of the generated wind velocities thus making it a viable characteristic for prediction of rogue waves.

Hydrodynamics of periodic breathers
Publisher: The Royal Society
Date: 28-10-2014
Abstract: We report the first experimental observation of periodic breathers in water waves. One of them is Kuznetsov–Ma soliton and another one is Akhmediev breather. Each of them is a localized solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) on a constant background. The difference is in localization which is either in time or in space. The experiments conducted in a water wave flume show results that are in good agreement with the NLS theory. Basic features of the breathers that include the maximal litudes and spectra are consistent with the theoretical predictions.

DOI: 10.1364/OL.21.000782
Abstract: We study coupled solitary waves in a photorefractive medium. For a special orientation of a cubic photorefractive crystal, stationary wave propagation in the form of coupled dark and bright solitons is possible. We classify these solutions and study their stability, using numerical simulations.

Moving breathers and breather-to-soliton conversions for the Hirota equation
Publisher: The Royal Society
Date: 08-2015
Abstract: We find that the Hirota equation admits breather-to-soliton conversion at special values of the solution eigenvalues. This occurs for the first-order, as well as higher orders, of breather solutions. An analytic expression for the condition of the transformation is given and several ex les of transformations are presented. The values of these special eigenvalues depend on two free parameters that are present in the Hirota equation. We also find that higher order breathers generally have complicated quasi-periodic oscillations along the direction of propagation. Various breather solutions are considered, including the particular case of second-order breathers of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
Multiport soliton devices with controllable transmission
Publisher: The Optical Society
Date: 06-2003
DOI: 10.1364/OL.28.000908
Abstract: We describe new planar multiport devices written by spatial solitons that are composed of several nonlinearly coupled components in Kerr-type media. Such devices have no radiation losses at a given wavelength. We demonstrate that, for the same relative angle between the input soliton-induced channels, one can vary the transmission coefficients into the output channels by adjusting the polarizations of multicomponent solitons. We determine analytically the transmission properties and discuss two types of experimental embodiment of the proposed device.

Modulation Instability and Phase-Shifted Fermi-Pasta-Ulam Recurrence
Publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC
Date: 20-07-2016
DOI: 10.1038/SREP28516
Abstract: Instabilities are common phenomena frequently observed in nature, sometimes leading to unexpected catastrophes and disasters in seemingly normal conditions. One prominent form of instability in a distributed system is its response to a harmonic modulation. Such instability has special names in various branches of physics and is generally known as modulation instability (MI). The MI leads to a growth-decay cycle of unstable waves and is therefore related to Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) recurrence since breather solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) are known to accurately describe growth and decay of modulationally unstable waves in conservative systems. Here, we report theoretical, numerical and experimental evidence of the effect of dissipation on FPU cycles in a super wave tank, namely their shift in a determined order. In showing that ideal NLSE breather solutions can describe such dissipative nonlinear dynamics, our results may impact the interpretation of a wide range of new physics scenarios.
