Quasi-periodic and periodic solutions for vector nonlinear Schrödinger equations

JC Eilbeck, VZ Enolskii and NA Kostov


Abstract

We consider quasi-periodic and periodic (cnoidal) wave solutions of a set of $n$-component vector nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equations (VNLSE). In a biased photorefractive crystal with a drift mechanism of nonlinear response and Kerr-type nonlinearity, $n$ component nonlinear Schrödinger equations can be used to model self-trapped mutually incoherent wave packets. These equations also model pulse-pulse interactions in wavelength-division-multiplexed channels of optical fibre transmission systems. Quasi-periodic wave solutions for the VNLSE in terms of $n$-dimensional Kleinian functions are presented. Periodic solutions in terms of Hermite polynomials and generalized Hermite polynomials for $n$-component nonlinear Schrödinger equations are found.
