Solitons, rogue waves and interaction behaviors of a third-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a third-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) which is used to describe the propagation of ultrashort pulses in the subpicosecond or femtosecond regime. Based on the independent transformation, the bilinear form of the third-order NLSE is constructed. The multiple soliton solutions are constructed by solving the bilinear form. The higher-order rogue waves and interaction between one-soliton and first-order rogue wave are obtained by the long wave limit in multi-solitons. The dynamics of the first-order rogue wave, second-order rogue wave and interaction between one-soliton and first-order rogue wave are presented by selecting the appropriate parameters. In particular parameters, the positions and the maximum of amplitude of rogue wave can be confirmed by the detailed calculations.
