Ultrashort pulse breaking in optical fiber with third-order dispersion and quintic nonlinearity

The optical wave breaking （OWB） characteristics in terms of the pulse shape, spectrum, and frequency chirp, in the normal dispersion regime of an optical fiber with both the third-order dispersion （TOD） and quintic nonlinearity （QN） are numerically calculated. The results show that the TOD causes the asymmetry of the temporal- and spectral-domain, and the chirp characteristics. The OWB generally appears near the pulse center and at the trailing edge of the pulse, instead of at the two edges of the pulse symmetrically in the case of no TOD. With the increase of distance, the relation of OWB to the TOD near the pulse center increases quickly, leading to the generation of ultra-short pulse trains, while the OWB resulting from the case of no TOD at the trailing edge of the pulse disappears gradually. In addition, the positive （negative） QN enhances （weakens） the chirp amount and the fine structures, thereby inducing the OWB phenomena to appear earlier （later）. Thus, the TOD and the positive （negative） QN are beneficial （detrimental） to the OWB and the generation of ultra-short pulse trains.

Nonautonomous solitary-wave solutions of the generalized nonautonomous cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrdinger equation with time-and space-modulated coefficients

A class of analytical solitary-wave solutions to the generalized nonautonomous cubic–quintic nonlinear Schrdinger equation with time-and space-modulated coefficients and potentials are constructed using the similarity transformation technique. Constraints for the dispersion coefficient, the cubic and quintic nonlinearities, the external potential, and the gain （loss） coefficient are presented at the same time. Various shapes of analytical solitary-wave solutions which have important applications of physical interest are studied in detail, such as the solutions in Feshbach resonance management with harmonic potentials, Faraday-type waves in the optical lattice potentials, and localized solutions supported by the Gaussian-shaped nonlinearity. The stability analysis of the solutions is discussed numerically.

Applications of Extended Hyperbolic Function Method for Quintic Discrete Nonlinear SchrSdinger Equation

By using the extended hyperbolic function method, we have studied a quintic discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation and obtained new exact localized solutions, including the discrete bright soliton solution, dark soliton solution, bright and dark soliton solution, alternating phase bright soliton solution, alternating phase dark soliton solution, and alternating phase bright and dark soliton solution, if a special relation is bound on the coefficients of the equation.

Matter-wave solutions of Bose-Einstein condensates with three-body interaction in linear magnetic and time-dependent laser fields

We construct, through a further extension of the tanh-function method, the matter-wave solutions of Bose-Einstein condensates （BECs） with a three-body interaction. The BECs are trapped in a potential comprising the linear magnetic and the time-dependent laser fields. The exact solutions obtained include soliton solutions, such as kink and antikink as well as bright, dark, multisolitonic modulated waves. We realize that the motion and the shape of the solitary wave can be manipulated by controlling the strengths of the fields.
