INTEGRABLE ASPECTS AND SOLITON-LIKE SOLUTIONS OF AN INHOMOGENEOUS COUPLED HIROTA–MAXWELL–BLOCH SYSTEM IN OPTICAL FIBERS WITH SYMBOLIC COMPUTATION
Abstract
For describing wave propagation in an inhomogeneous erbium-doped nonlinear fiber with higher-order dispersion and self-steepening, an inhomogeneous coupled Hirota–Maxwell–Bloch system is considered with the aid of symbolic computation. Through Painlevé singularity structure analysis, the integrable condition of such a system is analyzed. Via the Painlevé-integrable condition, the Lax pair is explicitly constructed based on the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur scheme. Furthermore, the analytic soliton-like solutions are obtained via the Darboux transformation which makes it exercisable to generate the multi-soliton solutions in a recursive manner. Through the graphical analysis of some obtained analytic one- and two-soliton-like solutions, our concerns are mainly on the envelope soliton excitation, the propagation features of optical solitons and their interaction behaviors in actual fiber communication. Finally, the conservation laws for the system are also presented.
