Optical solitons of a cubic-quartic nonlinear Schrodinger equation with parabolic law nonlinearity in optical metamaterials

Abstract

This paper aims to reveal the effects of the fourth-order dispersion and parabolic law which comes from self-phase modulation on the soliton behavior of the cubic-quartic nonlinear Schrodinger equation (CQ-NLSE) by using the modified new Kudryashov method. First, applying the complex wave transformation, the nonlinear ordinary differential form (NODE) has been obtained. Then, the modified new Kudryashov method (mNKM) has been expressed and applied. In the next step, linear algebraic system has been gained and solved. Then analytical soliton solution of the CQ-NLSE has been derived and checked for accuracy so that it satisfies the main equation. For the obtained solution functions, bright and singular soliton solutions have been gained and their graphical presentations have been made. The effects of both the fourth-order dispersion parameter and the parabolic law nonlinearity on the soliton dynamics have been examined and the necessary comments have been made. To our best knowledge, no such study has been reported for the equation examined.
