Perturbations of Dark Solitons
arXiv:1008.3756 · doi:10.1098/rspa.2010.0663
Abstract
A method for approximating dark soliton solutions of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation under the influence of perturbations is presented. The problem is broken into an inner region, where core of the soliton resides, and an outer region, which evolves independently of the soliton. It is shown that a shelf develops around the soliton which propagates with speed determined by the background intensity. Integral relations obtained from the conservation laws of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation are used to approximate the shape of the shelf. The analysis is developed for both constant and slowly evolving backgrounds. A number of problems are investigated including linear and nonlinear damping type perturbations.
