Rogue periodic waves stand for rogue waves on a periodic background. The nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the focusing case admits two families of periodic wave solutions expressed by the Jacobian elliptic functions dn and cn . Both periodic waves are modulationally unstable with respect to long-wave perturbations. Exact solutions for the rogue periodic waves are constructed by using the explicit expressions for the periodic eigenfunctions of the Zakharov–Shabat spectral problem and the Darboux transformations. These exact solutions generalize the classical rogue wave (the so-called Peregrine’s breather). The magnification factor of the rogue periodic waves is computed as a function of the elliptic modulus. Rogue periodic waves constructed here are compared with the rogue wave patterns obtained numerically in recent publications.

In this paper, we study the improved perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation with cubic quadratic nonlinearity (IPNLSE-CQN) to describe the propagation properties of nonlinear periodic waves (PW) in fiber optics. We obtain the chirped periodic waves (CPW) with some Jacobi elliptic functions (JEF) and also obtain some solitary waves (SW) such as dark, bright, hyperbolic, singular and periodic solitons. The nonlinear chirp associated with each of these optical solitons was observed to be dependent on the pulse intensity. The graphical behavior of these waves will also be displayed.

It is shown how to compute the instability rates for the double-periodic solutions to the cubic NLS (nonlinear Schrödinger) equation by using the Lax linear equations. The wave function modulus of the double-periodic solutions is periodic both in space and time coordinates; such solutions generalize the standing waves which have the time-independent and space-periodic wave function modulus. Similar to other waves in the NLS equation, the double-periodic solutions are spectrally unstable and this instability is related to the bands of the Lax spectrum outside the imaginary axis. A simple numerical method is used to compute the unstable spectrum and to compare the instability rates of the double-periodic solutions with those of the standing periodic waves.
