Modulational Instability for Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations with a Periodic Potential
We study the stability properties of periodic solutions to the Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with a periodic potential. We exploit the symmetries of the problem, in particular the Hamiltonian structure and the U(1) symmetry. We develop a simple sufficient criterion that guarantees the existence of a modulational instability spectrum along the imaginary axis. In the case of small amplitud...
متن کاملRayleigh–Taylor instability in nonlinear Schrödinger flow
The Rayleigh–Taylor instability (RTI) is a fundamental fluid instability that occurs when a light fluid is accelerated into a heavier one. While techniques for observing the RTI in classical fluids continue to improve, the instability has not been demonstrated in quantum fluids. Here, we exploit the formal equivalence between condensed matter and coherent nonlinear optics to observe the superfl...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional supersonic nonlinear Schrödinger flow past an extended obstacle.
Supersonic flow of a superfluid past a slender impenetrable macroscopic obstacle is studied in the framework of the two-dimensional (2D) defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. This problem is of fundamental importance as a dispersive analog of the corresponding classical gas-dynamics problem. Assuming the oncoming flow speed is sufficiently high, we asymptotically reduce the original ...
متن کاملOf Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations
The authors suggest a new powerful tool for solving group classification problems, that is applied to obtaining the complete group classification in the class of nonlinear Schrödinger equations of the form iψt +∆ψ + F (ψ,ψ ∗) = 0.
متن کاملModulational instability windows in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation involving higher-order Kerr responses.
We introduce a complete analytical and numerical study of the modulational instability process in a system governed by a canonical nonlinear Schrödinger equation involving local, arbitrary nonlinear responses to the applied field. In particular, our theory accounts for the recently proposed higher-order Kerr nonlinearities, providing very simple analytical criteria for the identification of mul...
