Nonlinear modes in rotating double well potential with parity—time symmetry

Abstract

We investigate the nonlinear modes in a rotating double well potential with \U0001d4ab\U0001d4af symmetry. Focus on the existence and stability of the nonlinear PT modes in this system, we found that five types of PT modes can stably exist by given certain parameter settings. The multistable area between these modes are studied numerically and the bistable and tristable areas are delimited. With different input trial wavefunctions, five types of solitary wave modes are identified. We found that the rotating of the potential can significantly affect the power flow of the fundamental harmonic mode, whose effect is absent for the other modes.
