Spectral renormalization method for computing self-localized solutions to nonlinear systems

Abstract

A new numerical scheme for computing self-localized states—or solitons—of nonlinear waveguides is proposed. The idea behind the method is to transform the underlying equation governing the soliton, such as a nonlinear Schrödinger-type equation, into Fourier space and determine a nonlinear nonlocal integral equation coupled to an algebraic equation. The coupling prevents the numerical scheme from diverging. The nonlinear guided mode is then determined from a convergent fixed point iteration scheme. This spectral renormalization method can find wide applications in nonlinear optics and related fields such as Bose–Einstein condensation and fluid mechanics.
