Self-similar optical solitons with continuous-wave background in a quadratic-cubic non-centrosymmetric waveguide

We investigate the propagation of self-similar optical solitons on a continuous-wave background through a non-centrosymmetric waveguide with second- and third-order nonlinearities. The generalized inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrodinger equation with quadratic-cubic nonlinearities and gain or loss is used to describe the beam propagation through the waveguide. Three new types of exact self-similar localized solutions propagating on a continuous-wave background are found under certain parametric conditions. The self-similar wave solutions comprise bright solitons, W-shaped, and kink solitons. The dynamic behaviors of these solitons are analyzed for a periodically distributed dispersion system.
