- ItemUltrashort optical solitons in transparent nonlinear media with arbitrary dispersion(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Amiranashvili, Shalva; Bandelow, Uwe; Akhmediev, NailWe consider the propagation of ultrashort optical pulses in nonlinear fibers and suggest a new theoretical framework for the description of pulse dynamics and exact characterization of solitary solutions. Our approach deals with a proper complex generalization of the nonlinear Maxwell equations and completely avoids the use of the slowly varying envelope approximation. The only essential restriction is that fiber dispersion does not favor both the so-called Cherenkov radiation, as well as the resonant generation of the third harmonics, as these effects destroy ultrashort solitons. Assuming that it is not the case, we derive a continuous family of solitary solutions connecting fundamental solitons to nearly single-cycle ultrashort ones for arbitrary anomalous dispersion and cubic nonlinearity.
- ItemInfinite hierarchy of nonlinear Schrödinger equations and Infinite hierarchy of nonlinear Schrödinger equations and(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Ankiewicz, Adrian; Kedziora, David Jacob; Chowdury, Amdad; Bandelow, Uwe; Nail Akhmediev, NailWe 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.
