چکیده

In this Letter we introduce a systematic perturbation method for analyzing the e ect of small perturbations on critical self focusing by reducing the perturbed critical nonlinear Schrodinger equation (PNLS) to a simpler system of modulation equations that do not depend on the transverse variables. The modulation equations can be further simpli ed, depending on whether PNLS is power conserving or not. An importantand somewhat surprising result is that various small defocusingperturbations lead to a universal form for the modulation equations, whose solutions have slowly decaying focusing-defocusing oscillations.

Self-Focusing in the Perturbed and Unperturbed Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation in Critical Dimension

The formation of singularities of self-focusing solutions of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLS) in critical dimension is characterized by a delicate balance between the focusing nonlinearity and di raction (Laplacian), and is thus very sensitive to small perturbations. In this paper we introduce a systematic perturbation theory for analyzing the e ect of additional small terms on self fo...

Beam self-focusing in the presence of a small normal time dispersion.

We present a new system of modulation equations that approximate the focusing of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation in the presence of small normal time dispersion (TDNLS). Since the modulation equations are much easier for analysis and for numerical simulations, they can be used to get a general picture of the TDNLS focusing. Analytical and numerical agreement between the modulation equations...

Self-focusing in the Complex Ginzburg-landau Limit of the Critical Nonlinear Schrr Odinger Equation

We analyze self-focusing and singularity formation in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGL) in the regime where it is close to the critical nonlinear Schrr odinger equation. Using modulation theory Fibich and Papanicolaou, Phys. Lett. A 239:167{173, 1998], we derive a reduced system of ordinary diierential equations that describes self-focusing in CGL. Analysis of the reduced system shows ...

Mel'nikov Analysis of a Hamiltonian Perturbation of the Nonlinear Schr Odinger Equation

Homoclinic varieties play a crucial role in the dynamics of perturbations of the focusing Nonlinear Schrr odinger equation (NLS). We undertake a Mel'nikov analysis to investigate the possibility of persistence of transversal homoclinic orbits for a conservative perturbation of the NLS.
