Review text

The nonlinear Schrödinger equation obtained by inclusion of an intensity dependent refractive index in the evolution equation describing pulse envelope propagation in an optical fiber is considered. The split- step spectral method by \textit{T. R. Taha} and \textit{M. J. Ablowitz} [ibid. 55, 203-230 (1984; Zbl 0541.65082)] improved by adding the loss term \(i\gamma (x)u(| u|^ 2-1)\) was used to solve this equation \(iu_ t+(\alpha /2)u_{xx}+| u|^ 2u+i\gamma u(| u|^ 2-1)=0\) numerically. The method is generalized in the present article to include to include also dark pulse (i.e. for group-velocity dispersion \(>0)\). The computed evolution of a symmetric dark pulse \(u(x,0)=(1-\sec h^ 2x)^{1/2}\) with normal dispersion \((\alpha =-1)\), without an absorption is shown in plots.
