- ItemNumerical methods for accurate description of ultrashort pulses in optical fibers(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Amiranashvili, Shalva; Radziunas, Mindaugas; Bandelow, Uwe; C̆iegis, RaimondasWe consider a one-dimensional first-order nonlinear wave equation (the so-called forward Maxwell equation, FME) that applies to a few-cycle optical pulse propagating along a preferred direction in a nonlinear medium, e.g., ultrashort pulses in nonlinear fibers. The model is a good approximation to the standard second-order wave equation under assumption of weak nonlinearity. We compare FME to the commonly accepted generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which quantifies the envelope of a quickly oscillating wave field based on the slowly varying envelope approximation. In our numerical example, we demonstrate that FME, in contrast to the envelope model, reveals new spectral lines when applied to few-cycle pulses. We analyze and compare pseudo-spectral numerical schemes employing symmetric splitting for both models. Finally, we adopt these schemes to a parallel computation and discuss scalability of the parallelization.
- ItemAdditive splitting methods for parallel solution of evolution problems(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2020) Amiranashvili, Shalva; Radziunas, Mindaugas; Bandelow, Uwe; Busch, Kurt; Čiegis, RaimondasWe demonstrate how a multiplicative splitting method of order P can be used to construct an additive splitting method of order P + 3. The weight coefficients of the additive method depend only on P, which must be an odd number. Specifically we discuss a fourth-order additive method, which is yielded by the Lie-Trotter splitting. We provide error estimates, stability analysis, and numerical examples with the special discussion of the parallelization properties and applications to nonlinear optics.
