Classical Forces on Solitons in Finite and Infinite, Nonlinear, Planar Waveguides

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

Conservation equations for the mass, linear momentum and energy densities of solitons propagating in finite, infinite and periodic, nonlinear, planar waveguides and governed by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation are derived. These conservation equations are used to determine classical force densities which are compared with those derived by drawing a quantum mechanics analogy between the propagation of solitons and the motion of a quantum particle in a nonlinear potential well.
