Radiation pressure in the Coupled Nonlinear Schr\"odinger Equation exerted on the solitons

Abstract

In the paper an interaction between a soliton and a traveling wave in the Coupled Nonlinear Schr\"odinger Equation (CNLSE) is considered. The force acting on the soliton can both push or pull the soliton depending on parameters of the equation, structure of the soliton and the incident wave. In special cases analytical results are presented and in general numerical solutions of both linearized and the full problem are shown.
