Abstract and Figures

We numerically investigate the existence and stability dynamics of self-steepening optical solitons in a periodic PT-symmetric potential. We show that self-steepening solitons of the modified nonlinear Schr\"odinger (MNLS) equation undergo a position shift and amplitude increase during their evolution in the MNLS equation. The stabilization of solitons by an external potential is a challenging issue. This study demonstrates that the suppression of both the amplitude increase and the position shift of self-steepening solitons can be achieved by adding a periodic PT-symmetric potential to the MNLS equation.

To enhance the precision and efficiency of result prediction, we proposed a parallel hard-constraint physics-informed neural networks (phPINN) by combining the parallel fully-connected neural network structure and the residual-based adaptive refinement method. We discussed the forward and inverse problems of the nonlinear Schrödinger–Maxwell–Bloch equation via the phPINN. In the forward problem, we predict five forms of soliton solutions and rogue wave dynamics under corresponding initial and boundary conditions; In the inverse problem, we predict the equation parameter using the training data with different noise intensities, initial values, and solution forms. The predicted parameters achieve a relative error of less than 1%. These results validate the effectiveness of the phPINN algorithm in solving forward and inverse problems of three-component coupled equations.

Using the extended physics-informed neural network with twin subnets to study the coupled mixed derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE), seven types of vector solitons including vector single soliton, vector double solitons, anti-dark vector single soliton, anti-dark vector double solitons, vector rogue wave, vector bright–dark single soliton and vector bright–dark double solitons are predicted. The prediction results from seven types of vector solitons with different angles confirm that the physical neural network can be used to effectively solve the coupled mixed derivative NLSE. The error on the two sides and the falling point of the vector rogue wave solution is significantly greater than the middle, while the error of other six types of vector soliton solution mainly reflects in the peak or valley value of bright or dark soliton, and increases along the transmission distance. In addition, how to improve the prediction of model parameters from two aspects of data set and loss function is also studied. These results have certain reference value for studying the optical soliton transmission process by the machine learning.

The nondegenerate vector one-soliton and two-soliton solutions of the 2-coupled mixed derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation are acquired by the Hirota bilinear method. The amplitude, intensity and velocity of the vector one-soliton are determined by diverse wave numbers. The research of the collision dynamics for nondegenerate vector two-soliton indicates that energy conversion always occurs in such coupled system. This remarkable feature provides the possibility for the design and development of optical communication in the future.

We propose the two-subnet physical information neural network with the weighted loss function (WL-tsPINN) to study the higher-order effects of ultra-short pulses in birefringence fiber transmission and analyze the formation mechanism of vector solitons. We predict the dynamical process of mixed-type single/double soliton and soliton molecules based on the higher-order coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation (CNLSE) by this WL-tsPINN method. Moreover, we deduce the physical coefficients of the higher-order CNLSE from the mixed single soliton solution. Deep learning based on neural network is a powerful tool for further study of higher-order CNLSE and has potential significance for further study of soliton dynamics.

We present an alternative type of parity-time (PT)-symmetric generalized Scarf-II potentials, which makes possible for non-Hermitian Hamiltonians in the classical linear Schrödinger system to possess fully real spectra with unique features such as the multiple PT-symmetric breaking behaviors and to support one-dimensional (1D) stable PT-symmetric solitons of power-law waveform, namely power-law solitons, in focusing Kerr-type nonlinear media. Moreover, PT-symmetric high-order solitons are also derived numerically in 1D and 2D settings. Around the exactly obtained nonlinear propagation constants, families of 1D and 2D localized nonlinear modes are also found numerically. The majority of fundamental nonlinear modes can still keep steady in general, whereas the 1D multipeak solitons and 2D vortex solitons are usually susceptible to suffering from instability. Likewise, similar results occur in the defocusing Kerr-nonlinear media. The obtained results will be useful for understanding the complex dynamics of nonlinear waves that form in PT-symmetric nonlinear media in other physical contexts.
