Scalar and vector electromagnetic solitary waves in nonlinear hyperbolic media

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the problem of electromagnetic wave propagation in hyperbolic nonlinear media. To address this problem, we consider the scalar hyperbolic nonlinear Schrödinger system and its coupled version, namely hyperbolic Manakov type equations. These hyperbolic systems are shown as non-integrable. Then, we examine the propagation properties of both the scalar and vector electromagnetic solitary waves by deriving their exact analytical forms through the Hirota bilinear method. A detailed analysis shows that the presence of hyperbolic transverse dispersion provides an additional degree of freedom to prevent the formation of singularity in both the scalar and vector solitary wave structures in this hyperbolic nonlinear media. Besides this, we realize that the solitary waves in this media possess fascinating propagation properties which cannot be observed in conventional nonlinear media. We believe that the present study will be very useful in analyzing electromagnetic wave propagation in hyperbolic nonlinear metamaterials.
