    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Ankiewicz, Adrian; Kedziora, David Jacob; Chowdury, Amdad; Bandelow, Uwe; Nail Akhmediev, Nail
    We study the infinite integrable nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) hierarchy beyond the Lakshmanan-Porsezian-Daniel equation which is a particular (fourth-order) case of the hierarchy. In particular, we present the generalized Lax pair and generalized soliton solutions, plane wave solutions, AB breathers, Kuznetsov-Ma breathers, periodic solutions and rogue wave solutions for this infinite order hierarchy. We find that even order equations in the set affect phase and stretching factors in the solutions, while odd order equations affect the velocities. Hence odd order equation solutions can be real functions, while even order equation solutions are always complex.

    Efficient all-optical control of solitons
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Pickartz, Sabrina; Bandelow, Uwe; Amiranashvili, Shalva
    We consider the phenomenon of an optical soliton controlled (e.g. amplified) by a much weaker second pulse which is efficiently scattered at the soliton. An important problem in this context is to quantify the small range of parameters at which the interaction takes place. This has been achieved by using adiabatic ODEs for the soliton characteristics, which is much faster than an empirical scan of the full propagation equations for all parameters in question.

    Modeling of current spreading in high-power broad-area lasers and its impact on the lateral far field divergence
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Zeghuzi, Anissa; Radziunas, Mindaugas; Wenzel, Hans; Wünsche, Hans-Jürgen; Bandelow, Uwe; Knigge, Andrea
    The effect of current spreading on the lateral farfield divergence of highpower broadarea lasers is investigated with a timedependent model using different descriptions for the injection of carriers into the active region. Most simulation tools simply assume a spatially constant injection current density below the contact stripe and a vanishing current density beside. Within the driftdiffusion approach, however, the injected current density is obtained from the gradient of the quasiFermi potential of the holes, which solves a Laplace equation in the pdoped region if recombination is neglected. We compare an approximate solution of the Laplace equation with the exact solution and show that for the exact solution the highest farfield divergence is obtained. We conclude that an advanced modeling of the profiles of the injection current densities is necessary for a correct description of farfield blooming in broadarea lasers.

    Sasa-Satsuma hierarchy of integrable evolution equations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Bandelow, Uwe; Ankiewicz, Adrian; Amiranashvili, Shalva; Pickartz, Sabrina; Akhmediev, Nail
    We present the infinite hierarchy of Sasa-Satsuma evolution equations. The corresponding Lax pairs are given, thus proving its integrability. The lowest order member of this hierarchy is the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, while the next one is the Sasa-Satsuma equation that includes third-order terms. Up to sixthorder terms of the hierarchy are given in explicit form, while the provided recurrence relation allows one to explicitly write all higher-order terms. The whole hierarchy can be combined into a single general equation. Each term in this equation contains a real independent coefficient that provides the possibility of adapting the equation to practical needs. A few examples of exact solutions of this general equation with an infinite number of terms are also given explicitly.

    Persistence of rouge waves in extended nonlinear Schrödinger equations : integrable Sasa-Satsuma case
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Bandelow, Uwe; Akhmediev, Nail N.
    We present the lowest order rogue wave solution of the Sasa-Satsuma equation (SSE) which is one of the integrable extensions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). In contrast to the Peregrine solution of the NLSE, it is significantly more involved and contains polynomials of fourth order rather than second order in the corresponding expressions. The correct limiting case of Peregrine solution appears when the extension parameter of the SSE is reduced to zero.

    Generalized Sasa-Satsuma equation: Densities approach to new infinite hierarchy of integrable evolution equations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Ankiewicz, Adrian; Bandelow, Uwe; Akhmediev, Nail
    We derive the new infinite Sasa-Satsuma hierarchy of evolution equations using an invariant densities approach. Being significantly simpler than the Lax-pair technique, this approach does not involve ponderous 3 x3 matrices. Moreover, it allows us to explicitly obtain operators of many orders involved in the time evolution of the Sasa-Satsuma hierarchy functionals. All these operators are parts of a generalized Sasa-Satsuma equation of infinitely high order. They enter this equation with independent arbitrary real coefficients that govern the evolution pattern of this multi-parameter dynamical system.

    Solitons on a background, rogue waves, and classical soliton solutions of Sasa-Satsuma equation
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Bandelow, Uwe; Akhmediev, Nail
    We present the most general multi-parameter family of a soliton on a background solutions to the Sasa-Satsuma equation. The solution contains a set of several free parameters that control the background amplitude as well as the soliton itself. This family of solutions admits nontrivial limiting cases, such as rogue waves and classical solitons, that are considered in detail.

    Dynamical regimes of multi-stripe laser array with external off-axis feedback
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Pimenov, Alexander; Trpmciu, Vasile Z.; Bandelow, Uwe; Vladimirov, Andrei G.
    We study theoretically the dynamics of a multistripe laser array with an external cavity formed by either a single or two off-axis feedback mirrors, which allow to select a single lateral mode with transversely modulated intensity distribution. We derive and analyze a reduced model of such an array based on a set of delay differential equations taking into account transverse carrier grating in the semiconductor medium. With the help of the bifurcation analysis of the reduced model we show the existence of single and multimode instabilities leading to periodic and irregular pulsations of the output intensity. In particular, we observe a multimode instability leading to a periodic regime with anti-phase oscillating intensities of the two counter-propagating waves in the external cavity. This is in agreement with the result obtained earlier with the help of a 2+1 dimensional traveling wave model

    Efficient coupling of inhomogeneous current spreading and dynamic electro-optical models for broad-area edge-emitting semiconductor devices
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Radziunas, Mindaugas; Zeghuzi, Anissa; Fuhrmann, Jürgen; Koprucki, Thomas; Wünsche, Hans-Jürgen; Wenzel, Hans; Bandelow, Uwe
    We extend a 2 (space) + 1 (time)-dimensional traveling wave model for broad-area edgeemitting semiconductor lasers by a model for inhomogeneous current spreading from the contact to the active zone of the laser. To speedup the performance of the device simulations, we suggest and discuss several approximations of the inhomogeneous current density in the active zone.

    Calculation of ultrashort pulse propagation based on rational approximations for medium dispersion
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2011) Amiranashvili, Shalva; Bandelow, Uwe; Mielke, Alexander
    Ultrashort optical pulses contain only a few optical cycles and exhibit broad spectra. Their carrier frequency is therefore not well defined and their description in terms of the standard slowly varying envelope approximation becomes questionable. Existing modeling approaches can be divided in two classes, namely generalized envelope equations, that stem from the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, and non-envelope equations which treat the field directly. Based on fundamental physical rules we will present an approach that effectively interpolates between these classes and provides a suitable setting for accurate and highly efficient numerical treatment of pulse propagation along nonlinear and dispersive optical media.
