Unidirectional flow of composite bright-bright solitons through asymmetric double potential barriers and wells

We investigate the dynamics of two component bright-bright (BB) solitons through reflec-tionless double barrier and double well potentials in the framework of a Manakov sys-tem governed by the coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations. The objective is to achieve unidirectional flow and unidirectional segregation/splitting, which may be used in the de-sign of optical data processing devices. We observe how the propagation of composite BB soliton is affected by the presence of interaction coupling between the two components passing through the asymmetric potentials. We consider Gaussian and Rosen-Morse dou-ble potential barriers in order to achieve the unidirectional flow. Moreover, we observe a novel phenomenon which we name Polarity Reversal in the unidirectional flow. In this situation, the polarity of the diode is reversed. To understand the physics underlying these phenomena, we perform a variational calculation where we also achieve unidirectional segregation/splitting using an asymmetric double square potential well. Our comparative study between analytical and numerical analysis lead to an excellent agreement between the two methods. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Automated summary

The dynamics of two component bright-bright (BB) solitons passing through different potentials were investigated to achieve unidirectional flow and segregation. A novel phenomenon called Polarity Reversal was observed, and the consistency between analytical and numerical analysis was confirmed through variational calculations.
