Discussion on localized pulses for third-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation and negative index material with quadratic cubic nonlinearity

Abstract

In this paper, we study the third-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) and optical metamaterial (OM) with quadratic-cubic nonlinearity (OM-QCNL) to describe the properties and presence of propagating solitary waves (SW) in a fibre optic medium. We present an effective field amplitude ansatz that allows us to obtain SW using the governing model. More specifically, in the presence of all orders of dispersion and various nonlinear variables, we find SW solutions of dipole, bright, dark and other forms. The graphical representation of these waves will also be presented.
