Resonances in a trapped 3D Bose-Einstein condensate under periodically varying atomic scattering length

Nonlinear oscillations of a 3D radial symmetric Bose-Einstein condensate under periodic variation in time of the atomic scattering length have been studied analytically and numerically. The time-dependent variational approach is used for the analysis of the characteristics of nonlinear resonances in the oscillations of the condensate. The bistability in oscillations of the BEC width is invistigated. The dependence of the BEC collapse threshold on the drive amplitude and parameters of the condensate and trap is found. Predictions of the theory are confirmed by numerical simulations of the full Gross-Pitaevski equation.Comment: 17 pages, 10 figures, submitted to Journal of Physics

Collective excitations of BEC under anharmonic trap position jittering

Collective excitations of a Bose-Einstein condensate under periodic oscillations of a quadratic plus quartic trap position has been studied. A coupled set of variational equations is derived for the width and the condensate wave function center. Analytical expressions for the growth of oscillation amplitudes in the resonance case are derived. It is shown that jittering of an anharmonic trap position can cause double resonance of the BEC width and the center of mass oscillation in the wide range of the BEC parameters values. The predictions of variational approach are confirmed by full numerical simulations of the 1D GP equation.Comment: This paper contains a manuscript - SolAnJPB.tex and figures (fig1 - fig1a.eps and fig1b.eps, fig2 - fig2.eps, fig3 - fig3a.eps and fig3b.eps, fig4 - fig4a.eps and fig4b.eps).

Dissipative Dynamics of Matter Wave Soliton in Nonlinear Optical Lattice

Dynamics and stability of solitons in two-dimensional (2D) Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC), with low-dimensional (1D) conservative plus dissipative nonlinear optical lattices are investigated. In the case of focusing media (with attractive atomic systems) the collapse of the wave packet is arrested by the dissipative periodic nonlinearity. The adiabatic variation of the background scattering length leads to metastable matter-wave solitons. When the atom feeding mechanism is used, a dissipative soliton can exist in focusing 2D media with 1D periodic nonlinearity. In the defocusing media (repulsive BEC case) with harmonic trap in one dimension and one dimensional nonlinear optical lattice in other direction, the stable soliton can exist. This prediction of variational approach is confirmed by the full numerical simulation of 2D Gross-Pitaevskii equation.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figure

Matter-wave 2D solitons in crossed linear and nonlinear optical lattices

It is demonstrated the existence of multidimensional matter-wave solitons in a crossed optical lattice (OL) with linear OL in the $x-$direction and nonlinear OL (NOL) in the $y-$direction, where the NOL can be generated by a periodic spatial modulation of the scattering length using an optically induced Feshbach resonance. In particular, we show that such crossed linear and nonlinear OL allows to stabilize two-dimensional (2D) solitons against decay or collapse for both attractive and repulsive interactions. The solutions for the soliton stability are investigated analytically, by using a multi-Gaussian variational approach (VA), with the Vakhitov-Kolokolov (VK) necessary criterion for stability; and numerically, by using the relaxation method and direct numerical time integrations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE). Very good agreement of the results corresponding to both treatments is observed.Comment: 8 pages (two-column format), with 16 eps-files of 4 figure

Interaction of pulses in nonlinear Schroedinger model

The interaction of two rectangular pulses in nonlinear Schroedinger model is studied by solving the appropriate Zakharov-Shabat system. It is shown that two real pulses may result in appearance of moving solitons. Different limiting cases, such as a single pulse with a phase jump, a single chirped pulse, in-phase and out-of-phase pulses, and pulses with frequency separation, are analyzed. The thresholds of creation of new solitons and multi-soliton states are found.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures. Accepted to Phys. Rev. E, 200

Main Characteristics of Dust Storm sand Their Radiative Impacts: With a Focuson Tajikistan

Dust storms are commonly occurring phenomena in Tajikistan. The known aridity of the region is a major factor in promoting numerous dust storms. They have many diverse impacts on the environment and the climate of the region. The classification of dust storms and synoptic conditions related to their formation in Central Asia are discussed in the content of their diverse impact. We address dust optical properties that are representative of the region. Dust storms significantly reduce visibly and pose a human health threads. They also cause a significant impact on the radiative regime. As a result, dust storms may cause a decrease in temperature during daytime of up to 16 о С and an increase in temperature during night time from up to 7 о С compared to a clear day.

Some Case Example Exact Solutions for Quadratically Nonlinear Optical Media with PT-Symmetric Potentials

In the present paper we consider an optical system with a χ (2)-type nonlinearity and unspecified PT -symmetric potential functions. Considering this as an inverse problem and positing a family of exact solutions in terms of cnoidal functions, we solve for the resulting potential functions in a way that ensures the potentials obey the requirements of PT -symmetry. We then focus on case examples of soliton and periodic solutions for which we present a stability analysis as a function of their amplitude parameters. Finally, we numerically explore the nonlinear dynamics of the associated waveforms to identify the outcome of the relevant dynamical instabilities of localized and extended states

Modulational and Parametric Instabilities of the Discrete Nonlinear Schr\"odinger Equation

We examine the modulational and parametric instabilities arising in a non-autonomous, discrete nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation setting. The principal motivation for our study stems from the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in a deep optical lattice. We find that under periodic variations of the heights of the interwell barriers (or equivalently of the scattering length), additionally to the modulational instability, a window of parametric instability becomes available to the system. We explore this instability through multiple-scale analysis and identify it numerically. Its principal dynamical characteristic is that, typically, it develops over much larger times than the modulational instability, a feature that is qualitatively justified by comparison of the corresponding instability growth rates

Theory of Nonlinear Dispersive Waves and Selection of the Ground State

A theory of time dependent nonlinear dispersive equations of the Schroedinger / Gross-Pitaevskii and Hartree type is developed. The short, intermediate and large time behavior is found, by deriving nonlinear Master equations (NLME), governing the evolution of the mode powers, and by a novel multi-time scale analysis of these equations. The scattering theory is developed and coherent resonance phenomena and associated lifetimes are derived. Applications include BEC large time dynamics and nonlinear optical systems. The theory reveals a nonlinear transition phenomenon, ``selection of the ground state'', and NLME predicts the decay of excited state, with half its energy transferred to the ground state and half to radiation modes. Our results predict the recent experimental observations of Mandelik et. al. in nonlinear optical waveguides
