Chess-Board-Like Spatio-Temporal Interference Patterns and Their Excitation
arXiv:1810.03232 · doi:10.1364/JOSAB.36.001294
Abstract
We discover new type of interference patterns generated in the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) with localised periodic initial conditions. At special conditions, found in the present work, these patterns exhibit novel chess-board-like spatio-temporal structures which can be observed as the outcome of collision of two breathers. The infinitely extended chess-board-like patterns correspond to the continuous spectrum bands of the NLSE theory. More complicated patterns can be observed when the initial condition contains several localised periodic swells. These patterns can be observed in a variety of physical situations ranging from optics and hydrodynamics to Bose-Einstein condensates and plasma.
