## Fast soliton interactions in cubic-quintic nonlinear media with weak dissipation.(English)Zbl 1481.35114

Summary: We derive the expressions for the collision-induced amplitude dynamics of two flat-top solitons in spatial dimensions of 1, 2, and 3 caused by the generic weak nonlinear loss under the framework of coupled cubic-quintic $$(n + 1)\mathrm{D}$$ nonlinear Schrödinger equations for $$n = 1, 2, 3$$. We develop a new perturbative technique which is mainly based on the calculations for the fast collision-induced changes in the soliton envelope and the use of the single perturbed soliton solution for the calculations. These results quantify the energy dropdown due to a fast collision of two pulses $$(n = 1)$$, or two optical beams $$(n = 2)$$, or two light bullets $$(n = 3)$$ in cubic-quintic nonlinear media with dissipation. The theoretical calculations are then confirmed by numerical simulations with the corresponding coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Our approach can be used for studying the effects of dissipation on colliding solitons described by the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger models, where the unperturbed equation is nonintegrable.
