Modulation instability gain and nonlinear modes generation in discrete cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Abstract

In this paper, we examined the effects of the nonlinear parameters and driven amplitude on the training envelope in discrete cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with arbitrarily high-order nonlinearities. From the numerical simulation, we exhibited the generation of the train of pulses and dark soliton when the driven amplitude is above the threshold. For a specific time of propagation, we illustrate how the variation of the driven amplitude and the nonlinear cubic-quintic parameters can generate instability in the forbidden gap. It emerges that the model of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with arbitrarily high-order nonlinearities can be used to generate the train of waves despite the fact that it is not integrable in the continuum limit approximation. We also displayed the effects of the cubic-quintic terms on the modulation instability growth rate. The obtained results will open new features to the train of pulses and dark soliton in the nonlinear fibers optics.
