Analytical study of higher-order nonlinear effects on the steady-state optical solitons in optical fiber filled with cold atomic gases

HUIPING OU, Ying Wang, Mitra Ghergherehchi +1 more

This paper investigates the stability of higher-order nonlinear optical systems using cold atomic gases. We explore the behavior of optical solitons in such systems by analyzing the Schrödinger equation (NLSE) and its third-(cubic) and fifth-order(quintic) nonlinear effects. Firstly, we solve the travelling wave solutions of bright solitons in the third-order nonlinear regime by the F-expansion method. We then consider the fifth-order nonlinear case to compare and analyze the important influence of higher-order effects on the soliton morphology and stability. Finally, we analyze the stability of bright solitons in the resulting fiber system. We find that higher-order effects play a critical role in maintaining the long-distance transport of solitons. This study definitively guides experimental studies of steady-state optical soliton teleportation in fiber-optic systems containing higher-order nonlinear interactions.

Spontaneous opto-mechanical structures in cold atomic gases

Enrico Tesio, Gordon R. M. Robb, T. Ackemann +6 more

We theoretically, numerically and experimentally investigate spontaneous transverse instabilities in cold atomic gases, arising from the action of dispersive light forces. Previous research focused on pattern-forming instabilities in hot gases where optical nonlinearities arise from the internal structure of the atoms and spatio-temporal structures are encoded in the populations and coherences of the medium. Dipole forces acting on the center-of-mass of laser-cooled atoms, being dependent on gradients of the optical intensity, are also nonlinear in nature: previous studies focused, for instance, on beam filamentation. Here we investigate the situation where a positive feedback loop is present in the system leading to a pattern-forming instability. We stress that the resulting spatial structures are encoded also in the spatial density distribution, effectively leading to the self-assembly of an optical atomic lattice.
