Optical rogue waves for the inhomogeneous generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation
1Department of Physics, Panjab University, Chandigarh 160014, India.
Abstract:
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.
