Instabilities of Multihump Vector Solitons in Coupled Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations

چکیده
Spectral stability of multihump vector solitons in the Hamiltonian system of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations is investigated both analytically and numerically. Using the closure theorem for the negative index of the linearized Hamiltonian, we classify all possible bifurcations of unstable eigenvalues in the systems of coupled NLS equations with cubic and saturable nonlinearities. We also determine the eigenvalue spectrum numerically by the shooting method. In case of cubic nonlinearities, all multihump vector solitons in the nonintegrable model are found to be linearly unstable. In case of saturable nonlinearities, stable multihump vector solitons are found in certain parameter regions, and some errors in the literature are corrected.

A Coupled Higher-Order Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation Including Higher-Order Bright and Dark Solitons
We suggest a generalized Lax pair on a Hermitian symmetric space to generate a new coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation of a dual type which contains both bright and dark soliton equations depending on parameters in the Lax pair. Through the generalized ways of reduction and the scaling transformation for the coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation, two integrable typ...
متن کاملCollision Dynamics of Polarized Solitons in Linearly Coupled Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations
The system of linearly coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations is solved by a conservative difference scheme in complex arithmetic. The initial condition represents a superposition of two one-soliton solutions of linear polarizations. The head-on and takeover interaction of the solitons and their quasi-particle (QP) behavior is examined in conditions of rotational polarization and gain. We foun...
متن کاملGeneral N-Dark–Dark Solitons in the Coupled Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations
N-dark–dark solitons in the integrable coupled NLS equations are derived by the KP-hierarchy reduction method. These solitons exist when nonlinearities are all defocusing, or both focusing and defocusing nonlinearities are mixed. When these solitons collide with each other, energies in both components of the solitons completely transmit through. This behavior contrasts collisions of bright–brig...
متن کاملBilinearization of Coupled Nonlinear Schrödinger Type Equations: Integrabilty and Solitons
Considering the coupled envelope equations in nonlinear couplers, the question of integrability is attempted. It is explicitly shown that Hirota’s bilinear method is one of the simple and alternative techniques to Painlevé analysis to obtain the integrability conditions of the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) type equations. We also show that the coupled Hirota equation introduced by Tasgal...
متن کاملComposite multihump vector solitons carrying topological charge
We propose composite solitons carrying topological charge: multicomponent two dimensional [ (2+1)D] vector (Manakov-like) solitons for which at least one component carries topological charge. These multimode solitons can have a single hump or exhibit a multihump structure. The "spin" carried by these multimode composite solitons suggests 3D soliton interactions in which the particlelike behavio...
