Abstract

The complex Ginzburg Landau equation (CGLE) is a ubiquitous model for the evolution of slowly varying wave packets in nonlinear dissipative media. A front (shock) is a transient layer between a plane-wave state and a zero background. We report exact solutions for domain walls, i.e., pairs of fronts with opposite polarities, in a system of two coupled CGLEs, which describe transient layers between semi-infinite domains occupied by each component in the absence of the other one. For this purpose, a modified Hirota bilinear operator, first proposed by Bekki and Nozaki, is employed. A novel factorization procedure is applied to reduce the intermediate calculations considerably. The ensuing system of equations for the amplitudes and frequencies is solved by means of computer-assisted algebra. Exact solutions for mutually-locked front pairs of opposite polarities, with one or several free parameters, are thus generated. The signs of the cubic gain/loss, linear amplification/attenuation, and velocity of the coupled-front complex can be adjusted in a variety of configurations. Numerical simulations are performed to study the stability properties of such fronts.

Self-similar vector solitons for the coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equations in inhomogeneous optical fibers

We prove the existence of two kinds of self-similar vector solitons in an inhomogeneous optical fiber medium, where light propagation is governed by a pair of coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equations with varying second- and third-order dispersions, self- and cross-phase modulation non linearities, self-steepening, and linear gain/loss effects. The newly found self-similar waves comprise bright-W-shaped and kink-antikink waveforms with nonvanishing amplitudes. As a practical exam ple, we discuss the propagation dynamics of these soliton structures in a periodically distributed fiber system as well as an exponential dispersion-decreasing fiber. The results demonstrate that the parameter functions of gain/loss and third-order dispersion serve as a key factor in determining the nonlinear dynamics of self-similar vector solitons. In particular, we find that precise control over the shape and dynamic evolution of self-similar pulses can be achieved through a proper choice of the distributed third-order dispersion parameter, while the gain/loss coefficient controls their intensity.

Fast Synergetic Simulation to Study Slow Evolution of Soliton Patterns in Optical Resonators

Complex patterns in physical and biological systems often emerge through slow collective dynamics governed by a small number of key variables. In nonlinear optical resonators, dissipative Kerr solitons provide an important example, where interactions between well-separated solitons can evolve over timescales far longer than the characteristic loss and gain timescales. Direct numerical simulation of these dynamics is challenging because stiffness forces conventional methods to resolve many rapidly damped degrees-of-freedom with very small time steps. We present a numerical scheme, the synergetic method, that eliminates these rapidly damped degrees-of-freedom and retains the slowly evolving modes, enabling time steps many orders of magnitude larger than those used in conventional approaches. Applied to soliton molecules in driven Kerr cavities, the method achieves speedups of $10^3$ to $10^5$ while capturing dynamics on laboratory timescales. We use it to model the full interaction dynamics of a three-soliton molecule and the evolution of an eight-soliton molecule. The approach provides an efficient framework for studying slow pattern formation in nonlinear systems with widely separated timescales.

Breathers in solitonic room-temperature superlattice-induced superfluorescence in quasi-2D perovskites

Recently, a soliton mechanism for room-temperature superfluorescence in thin perovskite films has been proposed, with a fundamental soliton predicted to remain stable under LO phonon--exciton interactions. At the same time, superlattice architectures offer a route to enhancing superfluorescence in perovskites. Motivated by recent observations of room-temperature superfluorescence in periodic superlattices of quasi-2D metal-halide perovskites, we extend the 2D nonlocal nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation describing Wannier exciton--LO phonon interactions to superlattice structures, obtaining a 3D nonlocal nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. We show that interlayer tunnelling gives rise to breather dynamics corresponding to a stable fundamental soliton in mixed coordinate--momentum space, with the coordinate parallel to the layers and the momentum perpendicular to them. The breather dynamics originate from miniband formation, which induces a momentum-dependent phase modulation of the soliton. In the absence of interlayer tunnelling, the breather dynamics disappear and the soliton becomes stationary. These results establish a direct connection between interlayer tunnelling, miniband formation and soliton dynamics, suggesting that breather behavior can provide a signature of interlayer tunnelling in quasi-2D perovskite superlattices.
