Soliton Solution, Bäcklund Transformation, and Conservation Laws for the Sasa-Satsuma Equation in the Optical Fiber Communications

Under investigation in this paper, with symbolic computation, is the Sasa-Satsuma (SS) equation which can describe the propagation of ultra short pulses in optical fiber communications. By virtue of the Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur procedure, the Lax pair for the SS equation is directly established. Based on such a Lax pair, a Bäcklund transformation is constructed, through which the explicit onesoliton solution is derived.Meanwhile, an infinite …
