Abstract

The super rogue wave dynamics in optical fibers are investigated within the framework of a generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation containing group-velocity dispersion, Kerr and quintic nonlinearity, and self-steepening effect. In terms of the explicit rogue wave solutions up to the third order, we show that, for a rogue wave solution of order n, it can be shaped up as a single super rogue wave state with its peak amplitude 2n+1 times the background level, which results from the superposition of n(n+1)/2 Peregrine solitons. Particularly, we demonstrate that these super rogue waves involve a frequency chirp that is also localized in both time and space. The robustness of the super chirped rogue waves against white-noise perturbations as well as the possibility of generating them in a turbulent field is numerically confirmed, which anticipates their accessibility to experimental observation.

Highlights

  • As an optical counterpart of the infamous oceanic rogue waves that have been held responsible for numerous marine misfortunes [1], optical rogue waves [2] are attracting burgeoning interest of research on both theoretical and experimental sides [3, 4], due to their potential applications and their comparative ease to create and capture in a laboratorial environment [5]

  • Rogue waves have been successfully observed in a number of optical settings such as optical fibers [13], mode-locked lasers [14], microresonators [15], and photorefractive ferroelectrics [16], not to mention those observed in filamentation [17], beam speckles [18], caustics [19], and integrable turbulence [20]

Summary

Introduction

As an optical counterpart of the infamous oceanic rogue waves that have been held responsible for numerous marine misfortunes [1], optical rogue waves [2] are attracting burgeoning interest of research on both theoretical and experimental sides [3, 4], due to their potential applications and their comparative ease to create and capture in a laboratorial environment [5]. A typical example is the Peregrine soliton, which was first discovered in 1983 by Peregrine as the fundamental rational solution to the celebrated nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation [22] It is built on a finite continuous background, reaching a climax three times the background height followed by two deep troughs, and is not a genuine ‘soliton’. We investigate the chirped version of higher-order rogue waves, termed super chirped rogue waves for their super high peak amplitude, within the framework of a generalized NLS equation that contains the group-velocity dispersion (GVD), the Kerr and quintic nonlinearity, and the self-steepening effect [42]. The stability of the super chirped rogue waves as well as the possibility to generate them in a turbulent field is numerically confirmed, which anticipates an accessibility to experimental observation
