Linear interference of nonlinear waves-Multispeed vector solitons
1Department of Theoretical Physics, Institute of Physics DFRC of RAS, Makhachkala 367003, Russia.
Abstract:
The dynamics of envelope solitons in a system of coupled anharmonic chains are addressed. Mathematically, the system is equivalent to the vector soliton propagation model in a single-mode fiber with low birefringence in the presence of coherent and incoherent interactions. It is numerically and analytically shown that multi-component soliton entries can behave as free scalar solitons with arbitrary velocities and amplitudes. The appropriate exact multi-soliton solutions are provided. They can be presented as a linear interference of degenerate vector solitons known before. Furthermore, the interference idea is transferred to other vector integrable systems, including the Manakov model.

Interference and Superposition of Waves
Interference occurs in mechanical waves, such as sound waves, waves on a string, and surface water waves. Mechanical waves correspond to the physical displacement of particles. Hence,...
Propagation of Waves
Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...

Interference: Path Lengths
Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...
