Exact soliton solutions, shape changing collisions, and partially coherent solitons in coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations.

We present the exact bright one-soliton and two-soliton solutions of the integrable three coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations (3-CNLS) by using the Hirota method, and then obtain them for the general N-coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations ( N-CNLS). It is pointed out that the underlying solit... View More
