Controllable pulse width of bright similaritons in a tapered graded index diffraction decreasing waveguide.

We obtain the bright similariton solutions for generalized inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation (GINLSE) which governs the pulse propagation in a tapered graded index diffraction decreasing waveguide (DDW). The exact solutions have been worked out by employing similarity transformations which involve the mapping of the GINLSE to standard NLSE for the certain conditions of the parameters. By making use of the exact analytical solutions, we have investigated the dynamical behavior of optical similariton pairs and have suggested the methods to control them as they propagate through DDW. Moreover, pulse width of similariton is controlled through various profiles. These results are helpful to understand the similaritons in DDW and can be potentially useful for future experiments in optical communications which involve optical amplifiers and long-haul telecommunication networks.

Controlling rogue waves in inhomogeneous Bose-Einstein condensates.

We present the exact rogue wave solutions of the quasi-one-dimensional inhomogeneous Gross-Pitaevskii equation by using similarity transformation. Then, by employing the exact analytical solutions we have studied the controllable behavior of rogue waves in the Bose-Einstein condensates context for the experimentally relevant systems. Additionally, we have also investigated the nonlinear tunneling of rogue waves through a conventional hyperbolic barrier and periodic barrier. We have found that, for the conventional nonlinearity barrier case, rogue waves are localized in space and time and get amplified near the barrier, while for the dispersion barrier case rogue waves are localized in space and propagating in time and their amplitude is reduced at the barrier location. In the case of the periodic barrier, the interesting dynamical features of rogue waves are obtained and analyzed analytically.

Optical rogue waves for the inhomogeneous generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

We present optical rogue wave solutions for a generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation by using similarity transformation. We have predicted the propagation of rogue waves through a nonlinear optical fiber for three cases: (i) dispersion increasing (decreasing) fiber, (ii) periodic dispersion parameter, and (iii) hyperbolic dispersion parameter. We found that the rogue waves and their interactions can be tuned by properly choosing the parameters. We expect that our results can be used to realize improved signal transmission through optical rogue waves.
