Analytical and Numerical Investigation of Soliton Solutions of Coupled Equations in Quadratic Media: A Novel Approach

Abstract

Solitons have been hitherto studied in Kerr media. However, we show that the optical solitons are not only limited to non-linear Kerr media. In this paper, a new method is devised to achieve the analytical approximate solutions to the soliton packages in one and two dimensions. Inputting (1) and (2) to Maxwell equations and using second-harmonic generation of type I, the coupled motion equations are obtained. Some states of spatial bright solitons are studied for large values of . The variational method is briefly reviewed and analytical approximate solution to quadratic-soliton coupled motion equations is investigated in one and two dimensions and also numerically solved. The comparison of analytical and numerical results indicates that our method is more accurate than the variational method.
