Dynamics of Vector Bright Solitons in Spin-Tensor-Momentum-Coupled Bose–Einstein Condensates with Tunable Raman Coupling

Abstract

We consider the stabilities and dynamical properties of solitons in one-dimensional spin-tensor-momentum-coupled Bose–Einstein condensates with periodical tunable Raman coupling by numerical simulating and variational approximating the time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii equations. Our results show for a trapless system, the dynamically stabilized bright solitons can be formed by modulating Raman coupling with the initial state of polar soliton, and its evolution and movement show consistence with analytical prediction. The effects of oscillating frequency of Raman coupling are also investigated. In addition, the evolution of amplitudes of such solitons exhibits nontrivial mode with combination of two oscillations, which is different with the case of fixed Raman coupling. The periodically-modulating Raman coupling provides a new mechanism to stabilize the solitons in spin-tensor-momentum-coupled Bose–Einstein condensates, which would be beneficial for the potential study of soliton dynamics in experiment.
