Abstract
We study a family of periodic traveling wave solution of a pure quartic generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). We focus on dn-oidal-like solutions with a nonzero average component. After numerically finding a one-parameter family of solutions and comparing it to their conventional NLSE counterpart, we numerically solve the corresponding modulational instability problem. This shows a nontrivial trend, where the instability occurs in specific intervals of the parameter separated by stability islands. Numerical simulations confirm the soundness of this result, thus proving that high-order dispersion terms in an optical waveguide allow to observe the propagation of regular and stable comb-like spectra.
期刊介绍:
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
