Abstract:
The system of Coupled Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations (CNLSEs) is solved by a conservative difference scheme in complex arithmetic developed in earlier author's work. The initial condition represents a superposition of two one-soliton solutions of different circular polarizations. The interaction (collision) of the solitons and their quasi-particle (QP) behavior is examined for different configurations of the initial system of QPs. We found that the polarization angle of a QP can change after a collision with another QP depending on the configuration of the initial phases. The effects found in the present work seem to be novel and enrich the knowledge about the intimate mechanisms of interaction of polarized QPs of CNLSEs.
