A Numerical Study of the Light Bullets Interaction in the (2+1) Sine-Gordon Equation

Abstract: Summary. The propagation and interaction in more than one space dimension of localized pulse solutions (so-called light bullets) to the sine-Gordon [SG] equation is studied both asymptotically and numerically. Similar solutions and their resemblance to solitons in integrable systems were observed numerically before in vector Maxwell systems. The simplicity of SG allows us to perform an asymptotic analysis of counterpropagating pulses, as well as a fully resolved computation over rectangular domains. Numerical … Show more

“…Later, in Ref. [49], the robustness of the light bullets during collisions was shown. The 2D sG equation was written in the form which allows propagation in both directions (in contrast, what we got here is the one-directional form of the 2D sG equation), and the inputs were either counterpropagating or colliding at a large angle [49].…”

“…[46], and even interactions have been studied in Ref. [49]. In [46], the 2D sG equation was also derived from the Maxwell-Bloch equations, but the derivation was performed from a reduced form of the Maxwell-Bloch equations, and the physical assumptions were not so cleary given.…”

“…Sine-Gordon (SG) equation is a second-order hyperbolic partial differential equation whose numerical solutions depict the soliton form and have intense applications in science and engineering. It appears in the study of optics as a solution to the classical Maxwell systems [2]. This equation also appears in the literature in the geometrical study of the soliton in view of the canonical field [3].…”
