Nonautonomous Bright and Dark Solitons of Bose-Einstein Condensates with Feshbach-Managed Time-Dependent Scattering Length

Abstract: We present a family of nonautonomous bright and dark soliton solutions of Bose-Einstein condensates with the time-dependent scattering length in an expulsive parabolic potential. These solutions show that the amplitude, width, and velocity of soliton can be manipulated by adjusting the atomic scattering length via Feshbach resonance. For the cases of both attractive and repulsive interaction, the total particles number is a conservation quantity, but the peak (dip) density can be controlled by the Feshbach resonance parameter. Especially, we investigate the modulation instability process in uniform Bose-Einstein condensates with attractive interaction and nonvanishing background, and clarify that the procedure of pattern formation is in fact the superposition of the perturbed dark and bright solitary wave. At last, we give the analytical expressions of nonautonomous dark one- and two-soliton solutions for repulsive interaction, and investigate their properties analytically.
