Abstract

This paper reveals optical soliton solutions for the perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger’s equation that is studied with quadratic–cubic nonlinearity. The mapping methods are utilized to retrieve these solitons which are of bright, dark and singular type.

Introduction

Optical soliton perturbation with quadratic–cubic (QC) nonlinearity is one of the latest areas of research in the field of fiber–optic telecommunication engineering [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [9], [13], [14]. The governing model is the nonlinear Schrödinger’s equation (NLSE) that is considered with QC nonlinearity. This kind of non-Kerr type nonlinearity first appeared in 1994 [5] and was again revisited during 2011 [4]. The study of optical solitons with such nonlinear medium has gained popularity ever since. A deluge of results with this form of nonlinearity have been reported. The model was also studied with fractional temporal evolution to minimize the effect of Internet bottleneck [13]. The conservation laws for this model has also been found [14]. Some works on soliton and other solutions can also be found in [16], [17], [18], [19], [20]. This paper will study the perturbed NLSE with QC nonlinearity by the aid of mapping methods. This integration methodology has been successfully applied in the past to water wave problems and other models [7], [8], [10], [11], [12]. There are various other popular schemes to study such nonlinear evolution equations [15]. This scheme will reveal bright, dark and singular soliton solutions to the model. The details are now presented in the rest of the paper.

Governing model

The equation under consideration isiut+auxx+(b1|u|+b2|u|2)u=i[αux+λ(|u|2u)x+θ(|u|2)xu].In (1), u(x, t) stands for the complex valued wave profile with two independent variables x and t which respectively denote spatial and temporal components. First term in (1) is the linear evolution, a is the coefficient of group velocity dispersion (GVD), b1 and b2 indicate the coefficients of the quadratic and cubic nonlinearity terms respectively. On the right hand side of (1), term with α is intermodal

Conclusions

Three forms of mapping methods retrieved bright, dark and singular soliton solutions to the perturbed NLSE with QC nonlinearity. The regular mapping method, modified mapping method and extended mapping method yielded these soliton solutions. These integration schemes directly retrieved solutions in terms of JEFs and in the limiting case, soliton solutions were revealed. These are all listed along with constraint relations on the parameters that guarantee the existence of these solutions. The

    In this regard, many researchers try to find soliton solutions directly using various special methods. In paper [9] soliton solutions were found for the perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation that was studied with quadratic-cubic nonlinearity by means of the mapping methods. The bright, dark and singular optical soliton solutions were found in Arnous et al. [10] to the nonlinear Schrödinger’s equation for anti-cubic nonlinearity by extended direct algebraic method.
