Approximation of Solitons in the Discrete NLS Equation
نویسنده
چکیده
We study four different approximations for finding the profile of discrete solitons in the one-dimensional Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) Equation. Three of them are discrete approximations (namely, a variational approach, an approximation to homoclinic orbits and a Green-function approach), and the other one is a quasi-continuum approximation. All the results are compared with numerical computations.

Spatial Optical Solitons in Waveguide Arrays
We overview theoretical and experimental results on spatial optical solitons excited in arrays of nonlinear waveguides. First, we briefly summarize the basic properties of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation frequently employed to study spatially localized modes in arrays, the so-called discrete solitons. Then, we introduce an improved analytical model that describes a periodic st...
متن کاملAveraging of Dispersion-Managed Solitons: Existence and Stability
We consider existence and stability of dispersion-managed solitons in the two approximations of the periodic nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation: (i) a dynamical system for a Gaussian pulse and (ii) an average integral NLS equation. We apply normal form transformations for finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems with periodic coefficients. Firstorder corrections to the ...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Time-periodic Solitons in the Damped-driven Nls
Abstract. We study localised attractors of the parametrically driven, damped nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Time-periodic solitons of this equation are obtained as solutions of the boundary-value problem on a two-dimensional domain. Stability and bifurcations of periodic solitons and their complexes is classified. We show that the bifurcation diagram can be reproduced using a few-mode approxim...

متن کاملWeakly nonparaxial effects on the propagation of (1+1)D spatial solitons in inhomogeneous Kerr media
The widely used approach to study the beam propagation in Kerr media is based on the slowly varying envelope approximation (SVEA) which is also known as the paraxial approximation. Within this approximation, the beam evolution is described by the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. In this paper, we extend the NLS equation by including higher order terms to study the effects of nonparaxiality...
