Abstract

The dynamics of propagation of waves in the transmission supports as high-nonlinear and dispersive optical fibers is governed by Schrödinger equations that integrate supplementary nonlinear terms. This particularity complicates the resolution of this equation. So the resolution of such an equation requires a suitable method. In this article, we construct solutions of the type solitary wave by means of a method which supposes from the onset that the equation admits a solution that is a combination of the bright soliton and dark soliton and thereafter proceed by elimination of the constants until the exact solutions or those that are nearer to the exact solutions are obtained.

1. Introduction

The nonlinear partial differential equations that describe the propagation of waves in the atomic chains, electric lines and optical fibers are for most of schrödinger’s type. They present nonlinear terms that are most often of cubic order, quintic and so on. The research of the analytical solutions for these equations is never an easy task. It is justified besides by the multitude of mathematical methods that many authors use every day in the resolution of mathematical problems [1-13]. The nonlinear partial differential equations that describe the propagation of waves in the atomic chains, electric lines and optical fibers are for most of schrödinger’s type. If we come back to the optical fiber transmission support that is currently in the center of modern telecommunications, one realizes that in the case of high-nonlinear dispersive single mode optical fiber, the dynamics of propagation of waves is governed by the following Schrödinger equation [14].
(1)
where is the slowly varying amplitude of the electrical field envelope, is the order of the dispersion parameter, is the linear loss parameter, is the parameter of saturation of the nonlinearity and designates the magnitude of the kerr parameter and nonlinear absorption and. This nonlinear partial differential equation is not easy to solve. This difficulty to solve is translated by very few works that propose analytical solutions of this equation as presented above. Our aim in this work is to propose some analytical solutions to this equation, or merely to find the solutions very close to the exact solutions. The equation (1) is high-nonlinear and dispersive; then susceptible to have some solitary solutions. Thus, the method of research of the solutions, consist in supposing initially that the equation (1) admits a solution that is a combination of solitary waves of nature bright and kink of the shape
(2)
where ; ;; designates the number of terms of equation (2); , and the constants to determine as a function of the parameter of the equation (1). When the equation (2) and its different derivatives are introduced in the equation (1), we get the complicated coefficient equations and of which the elimination of the constants case by case, permits to obtain the solutions progressively. In this work, we will limit in the case where we have four complex coefficients. So the manuscript is presented as follows: In section 2, we obtain the equations of the coefficients. In the section 3, we analyze the different possibilities of obtaining the solutions. Finally section 4 concludes our work.

4. Conclusions

To start the research of solutions as proposed in this manuscript, we remark that in numerous studies of the modulational instability proposed by most authors on the equation (1), the perturbated solution is most often a plane wave and very rarely a solitary wave. This is how we took the option to determine some solitary waves of this equation. Knowing that there is no standard method of resolution of the nonlinear partial differential equations, we have use the effective method as used in this manuscript to attain our objective. Certainly it necessitates a lot of concentration, but also gives a lot of satisfaction. Apart from the above solutions obtained, the following cases:
;
;
;
;
lead to trivial solutions or impossibilities. This principle of looking for solution maybe extended to other types of nonlinear partial differential equations susceptible to have some solitary wave solutions. A numerical approach can also be considered.
