Self-phase modulation (SPM) induces a varying refractive index of the medium due to the optical Kerr effect. The optical waves propagation (OWP) in a medium with SPM occupied a remarkable area of research in the literature. A model equation to describe OWP in the absence of SPM was proposed very recently by Biswas–Arshed equation (BAE). This work is based on constructing the solutions that describe the waves which arise from soliton-periodic wave collisions. A variety of geometric optical wave structures are observed. Here, a transformation that allows to investigate the multi-geometric structures of OW’s result from soliton-periodic wave collisions is introduced. Chirped, conoidal, breathers, diamond and W-shaped optical waves are shown to propagate in the medium in the absence of SPM. The exact solutions of BAE are obtained by using the unified method, which was presented recently. We mention that the results found here, are completely new.

Abstract Expressions are given for the phase modulation by the optical Kerr effect and the resulting frequency broadening of an optical pulse with elliptical polarization. The compression method is discussed for a quantitative comparison with experimental investigations. Starting with single pulses of 20 ps duration and 0.4 cm -1 frequency width, generated by a mode-locked laser and an optical switching device, the phase modulation in an external cell containing CS2 produced a frequency broadening of 5 cm-1 typically. A compression factor of 5 is achieved in a system consisting of one optical grating and a reflection prism. Satisfactory agreement between theory and experiment is obtained for the frequency modulation Δω) and the compression length l. Our data suggest that the time dependence of our input pulses is symmetric with wings of higher power than those of a Gaussian pulse.

Abstract Influence of the self-phase modulation of quantum light on the induced resonant excitation of a semiconductor quantum dot is studied analytically in the case of the Kerr-nonlinearity of the medium. The phase nonlinearity is found to result actually in a resonance detuning specific for each field photon number state. This effect is shown to provide significant decrease of the excitation efficiency accompanied at the same time by more regular excitation dynamics obtained even for initial squeezed vacuum field state. The enhancement of entanglement between semiconductor and field subsystems with growing non-linearity is demonstrated. As a result, the formation of different types of non-Gaussian field states is found with features being analyzed in details.
