Abstract Solitons which can be described as a localized wave form that maintain their shape after a collision with another soliton have became a very important phenomena in nonlinear optics due to their potential. They can be used as lossless information carriers in optical fibers due to their robustness arising from their particle grade stability upon a collision. Many scientists from various areas including electronic communication engineers have made solitons the main subject of study. Analytical solutions of nonlinear Schrödinger equation have a very important place in these studies. With the progress of nonlinear optics, some types of nonlinear Schrödinger equation have been derived for better understanding. Resonant nonlinear Schrödinger equation which is being used for describing nonlinear optical phenomena is a generic example for newly derived nonlinear Schrödinger equation. In this study, resonant nonlinear Schrödinger equation has been solved by using functional variable method and sixteen new soliton solutions have been obtained

In this paper we review our works in the field of nonlinear optics in waveguide arrays (WAs) and photonic nanowires. We first focus on the new equation governing light propagation in optical fibers with sub-wavelength cores which simultaneously takes into account (i) the vector nature of the electromagnetic modes inside fibers, (ii) the strong dispersion of the nonlinearity inside the spectral body of the pulse, (iii) and the full variations of the vector mode profiles with frequency. From this equation we have shown that a new kind of nonlinearity emerges in subwavelength-core fibers which can suppress the Raman self-frequency shift of solitons. We then discuss some nonlinear phenomena in WAs such as the emission of the diffractive resonant radiation from spatial discrete solitons and the anomalous recoil effect. Finally, we review our works on the optical analogues of Dirac solitons in quantum relativistic physics in binary waveguide arrays (BWAs) for both fundamental and higher-order solitons, and its interaction.

AbstractAs a combination of fiber optics and nanotechnology, optical microfibers and nanofibers (MNFs) have been emerging as a novel platform for exploring fiber-optic technology on the micro/nanoscale. Typically, MNFs taper drawn from glass optical fibers or bulk glasses show excellent surface smoothness, high homogeneity in diameter and integrity, which bestows these tiny optical fibers with low waveguiding losses and outstanding mechanical properties. Benefitting from their wavelength- or sub-wavelength-scale transverse dimensions, waveguiding MNFs exhibit a number of interesting properties, including tight optical confinement, strong evanescent fields, evident surface field enhancement and large and abnormal waveguide dispersion, which makes them ideal nanowaveguides for coherently manipulating light, and connecting fiber optics with near-field optics, nonlinear optics, plasmonics, quantum optics and optomechanics on the wavelength- or sub-wavelength scale. Based on optical MNFs, a variety of technological applications, ranging from passive micro-couplers and resonators, to active devices such as lasers and optical sensors, have been reported in recent years. This review is intended to provide an up-to-date introduction to the fabrication, characterization and applications of optical MNFs, with emphasis on recent progress in our research group. Starting from a brief introduction of fabrication techniques for physical drawing glass MNFs in Section 2, we summarize MNF optics including waveguiding modes, evanescent coupling, and bending loss of MNFs in Section 3. In Section 4, starting from a “MNF tree” that summarizes the applications of MNFs into 5 categories (waveguide & near field optics, nonlinear optics, plasmonics, quantum & atom optics, optomechanics), we go to details of typical technological applications of MNFs, including optical couplers, interferometers, gratings, resonators, lasers and sensors. Finally in Section 5 we present a brief summary of optical MNFs regarding their current challenges and future opportunities.

Nonlocal Nonlinearities

In this first part, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions of a general nonlinear Schrödinger system in the presence of diamagnetic field, local and nonlocal nonlinearities. This kind of systems models many important phenomena in nonlinear optics; multimodal optical fibers, optical pulse propagation, ferromagnetic film and optical pulse propagation in the birefringent fibers. They also govern the interaction of electron and nucleii through Coulombic potential and under the action of external magnetic field in quantum mechanics.
