Novel solitary and periodic waves in quadratic-cubic non-centrosymmetric waveguides

Abstract: We present a wide class of novel solitary and periodic waves in a non-centrosymmetric waveguide exhibiting second- and third-order nonlinearities. We show the existence of bright, gray, and W-shaped solitary waves as well as periodic waves for extended nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities. We also obtained the exact analytical algebraic-type solitary waves of the governing equation, including bright and W-shaped waves. The results illustrate the propagation of potentially rich set of nonlinear structures through the optical waveguiding media. Such privileged waveforms characteristically exist due to a balance among diffraction, quadratic and cubic nonlinearities.
