We consider travelling periodic and quasi-periodic wave solutions of a set of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations. In fibre optics these equations can be used to model single mode fibres under the action of cross-phase modulation, with weak birefringence. The problem is reduced to the ‘1:2:1’ integrable case of the two-particle quartic potential. A general approach for finding elliptic solutions is given. New solutions which are associated with two-gap Treibich-Verdier potentials are found. General quasi-periodic solutions are given in terms of two dimensional theta functions with explicit expressions for frequencies in terms of theta constants. The reduction of quasi-periodic solutions to elliptic functions is discussed.

The aim of this paper is to develop on the asymptotics of some one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equations from both the theoretical and the numerical perspectives, when a caustic is formed. We review rigorous results in the field and give some heuristics in cases where justification is still needed. The scattering operator theory is recalled. Numerical experiments are carried out on the focus point singularity for which several results have been proved rigorously. Furthermore, the scattering operator is numerically studied. Finally, experiments on the cusp caustic are displayed, and similarities with the focus point are discussed. Several shortcomings of spectral time-splitting schemes are investigated.
