Vector rogue waves and dark-bright boomeronic solitons in autonomous and non-autonomous settings

arXiv:1407.1336 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.90.042912

Abstract

In this work, we consider the dynamics of vector rogue waves and dark-bright solitons in two-component nonlinear Schrödinger equations with various physically motivated time-dependent nonlinearity coefficients, as well as spatio-temporally dependent potentials. A similarity transformation is utilized to convert the system into the integrable Manakov system and subsequently the vector rogue and dark-bright boomeron-like soliton solutions of the latter are converted back into ones of the original non-autonomous model. Using direct numerical simulations we find that, in most cases, the rogue wave formation is rapidly followed by a modulational instability that leads to the emergence of an expanding soliton train. Scenarios different than this generic phenomenology are also reported.
