Extraction of some optical solutions to the (2+1)-dimensional Kundu–Mukherjee–Naskar equation by two efficient approaches

Abstract

The Kundu–Mukherjee–Naskar (KMN) model is considered for describing the pulse propagation in optical fibres and communication systems. Two efficient approaches via the exp (−φ(ξ))-expansion and the improved F-expansion schemes are applied to the KMN model and in order to convert the KMN equation to an ODE, we test the complex wave conversions and present some optical soliton solutions, which are expressed in terms of hyperbolic, rational and trigonometric functions. We create three dimensional and two-dimensional images to explain the underlying optical wave properties of the KMN equation and compare our solutions with the ones in the literature. Our example shows that the two adopted methods provide an efficient mathematical tool for constructing new optical wave solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations arising in fibre optic communication systems.
