Long-distance propagation of periodic patterns in weakly nonlinear Kerr medium

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We investigate the propagation of periodic patterns in one and two dimensions for weak Kerr-type nonlinearity. Nonlinear amplitudes are introduced, which are related to the Fourier harmonics of a wave by polynomials of third and fifth degree. These amplitudes evolve in a particularly simple way and permit easy reconstruction of waveform after propagation. For the one-dimensional case, solutions are quasiperiodic, and solitonlike structures can be identified. For the two-dimensional case, recurrent and chaotic regimes exist depending on lattice type.
