Optical solitary waves, conservation laws and modulation instability analysis to the nonlinear Schrodinger's equation in compressional dispersive Alven waves

Abstract

In this paper, the sine-Gordon equation expansion method (SGEM) is used to acquire the optical solitary waves to the nonlinear Schrodinger's equation (NLSE) that arises from compressional dispersive Alven (CDA) waves. As a result of the operations, dark, bright, dark-bright and singular optical solitary waves are derived. The solitary waves appear with all necessary constraint conditions which guarantee their existence. The Lie point symmetry generators of a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) obtained by transforming the equation into real and imaginary parts are derived. We prove that the system is nonlinearly self-adjoint with an explicit form of a differential substitution satisfying the nonlinear self-adjoint condition. Then we use these facts to construct a set of conservation laws (Cls) for the system using the general Cls theorem presented by lbragimov. Furthermore, the modulation instability (MI) is studied based on the standard linear-stability analysis and the MI gain spectrum is got. Numerical simulation of the obtained results are analyzed with interesting figures showing the physical meaning of the solutions. (C) 2017 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
