Dark-bright solitons and semirational rogue waves for the coupled Sasa-Satsuma equations

In this paper, we investigate the coupled Sasa-Satsuma equations, which describe the simultaneous propagation of two ultrashort pulses in the birefringent or two-mode fiber with the third-order dispersion, self-steepening, and stimulated Raman scattering effects. Darboux-dressing transformation is applied to obtain the dark-bright soliton and semirational rogue-wave solutions. Dark-bright one solitons with the single-hump, double-hump, and even breather-like structures are presented. Interactions between the double-peak breather and different kinds of dark-bright solitons are studied. We show that the double-peak (or single-peak) rogue wave can coexist and interact with different kinds of dark-bright solitons. Coexistence of the solitons with different velocities and rogue waves is also found. Numerical stabilities of the dark-bright solitons and semirational roguewaves are exhibited. It is expected that those localized wave phenomena can be experimentally observed and have potential applications.
