We report on the experimental observation of induced solitons in a passively mode-locked fiber ring laser with a birefringence cavity. Owing to the cross coupling between the two orthogonal polarization components of the laser, it was found that if a soliton was formed along one cavity polarization axis, a weak soliton was also induced along the orthogonal polarization axis, and depending on th...

This work reports on calculations of the deformation energy of a nucleus plus an emitted cluster as a soliton moving on its surface. The potential barrier against the emission of a soliton is calculated within the macroscopicmicroscopic method. The outer turning point of the barrier determines limitations on the geometrical and kinematical parameters for the formation of a surface soliton. For ...

Benefiting from ultrafast temporal resolution, broadband spectral bandwidth, as well as high peak power, passively mode-locked fibre lasers have attracted growing interest and exhibited great potential from fundamental sciences to industrial and military applications. As a nonlinear system containing complex interactions from gain, loss, nonlinearity, dispersion, etc., ultrafast fibre lasers de...

We develop a perturbation theory for bright solitons of the F=1 integrable spinor Bose-Einstein condensates BEC model. The formalism is based on using the Riemann-Hilbert problem and provides the means to analytically calculate evolution of the soliton parameters. Both rank-one and rank-two soliton solutions of the model are obtained. We prove equivalence of the rank-one soliton and the ferroma...

We investigate the dynamics of solitons of the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) with the following perturbations: nonparametric spatiotemporal driving of the form f(x,t)=a exp[iK(t)x], damping, and a linear term which serves to stabilize the driven soliton. Using the time evolution of norm, momentum and energy, or, alternatively, a Lagrangian approach, we develop a collective-coordin...

In the process of searching for explicit solutions, quite a few systematic methods have been developed, such as inverse scattering transformation [1], Darboux transformations [2], Hirota’s bilinear method [3-5], and so on. Among them, the bilinear method first proposed by Hirota provides us with a comprehensive approach to construct exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equations (NEEs). Meanw...

We consider the nonlinear Hartree equation describing the dynamics of weakly interacting non-relativistic Bosons. We show that a nonlinear Møller wave operator describing the scattering of a soliton and a wave can be defined. We also consider the dynamics of a soliton in a slowly varying background potential W(εx). We prove that the soliton decomposes into a soliton plus a scattering wave (radi...

Coherent soliton packets generated in a passively mode-locked fiber laser are transmitted through 23km of dispersion-decreasing fiber. We observe a shift of the phase difference between solitons that is due to intrapulse Raman scattering. We attribute the stability in propagation of these trains to a trade-off between minimizing soliton-soliton interactions by reduction of the pulse width and m...

Exact solutions in two (2+1)-dimensional KdV-type (Sawada-Kodera and Boussinesq) equations are presented by using the bilinear method. The N-breather solution, the solution to describe the interaction between a line soliton and a y-periodic soliton, and the solution to express the interaction between two y-periodic solitons are included in our results. Detailed behavior of interactions between ...

Stochastic dynamics o f a soliton in a long optical fiber is analysed within the framework of the nonlinear Schr6dinger equation. It is shown that in the case of periodic perturbations describing, e.g. sound propagation along a fiber, adiabatic dynamics of a soliton may be stochastic, and the condition for this stochastic motion is obtained. In the case of random perturbations we obtain the sol...
