The general cubic wave breaking problem for the photon fluid: Third-order dispersion and self-steepening effects
In this paper, we consider wave breaking problem for the photon fluid propagating along a stationary medium with its profile characterized by a cubic root shape with account of third-order dispersion and self-steepening effects. Using the finite-band integral method and averaging conservation laws, we derive the periodic solution and the corresponding Whitham equation, respectively. Based on Whitham modulation theory, the dispersive shock wave (DSW) can be approximately represented as a modulated periodic solution with correct phase shift. The motion laws of the DSW at the soliton edge and small-amplitude edge can be analyzed separately. Furthermore, utilizing time reversibility, wave-breaking phenomena and wave structures are explored across distinct parameter spaces of and in the optical field. Additionally, the impacts of the third-order dispersion and self-steepening effects — both governed by — on the evolution of wave structures are examined.
