Coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with cubic-quintic nonlinearity: Integrability and soliton interaction in non-Kerr media.
We propose an integrable system of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with cubic-quintic terms describing the effects of quintic nonlinearity on the ultrashort optical soliton pulse propagation in non-Kerr media. Lax pairs, conserved quantities and exact soliton solutions for the proposed integrable model are given. The explicit form of two solitons are used to study soliton interaction showing many intriguing features including inelastic (shape changing or intensity redistribution) scattering. Another system of coupled equations with fifth-degree nonlinearity is derived, which represents vector generalization of the known chiral-soliton bearing system.
