Spatiotemporal soliton solution to generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a parabolic potential in Kerr media

A class of new spatiotemporal solitary solution to nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a parabolic potential is investigated analytically and numerically using the F-expansion method and homogeneous balance principle. The propagation characteristics of soliton wave solutions are analyzed with/without spatial-temporal chirp. It is noteworthy that, by calculating spatial and temporal second-order intensity moment, several novel features of optical beam propagations are obtained, such as stable, oscillating, decaying and blowing up. Additionally, controllability of these solutions with the modulation depth of the parabolic potential is demonstrated. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
