Breather-to-soliton and rogue wave-to-soliton transitions in a resonant erbium-doped fiber system with higher-order effects

Abstract: Under investigation in this paper is the higherorder nonlinear Schrodinger and Maxwell-Bloch (HNLSMB) system which describes the wave propagation in an erbium-doped nonlinear fiber with higher-order effects including the fourth-order dispersion and quintic nonKerr nonlinearity. The breather and rogue wave (RW) solutions are shown that they can be converted into various soliton solutions including the multipeak soliton, periodic wave, antidark soliton, M-shaped soliton, and W-shaped soliton. In addition, under different values of higher-order effect, the locus of the eigenvalues on the complex plane which converts breathers or RWs into solitons is calculated.
