Generation and controlling of ultrashort self-similar solitons and rogue waves in inhomogeneous optical waveguide

Abstract

We present exact bright, dark and rogue soliton solutions of generalized higherorder nonlinear Schrodinger equation, describing the ultrashort beam propagation in tapered waveguide amplifier, via a similarity transformation connected with the constant-coefficient Sasa-Satsuma and Hirota equations. Our exact analysis takes recourse to identify the allowed tapering profile in conjunction with appropriate gain function which corresponds to PT-symmetric waveguide. We extend our analysis to study the effect of tapering profiles and higher-order terms on the evolution of self-similar waves and thus enabling one to control the self-similar wave structure and dynamical behavior.
