The intrinsic relation between envelope solitons and plasma instabilities
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 February 2001
Extract
A general form of the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation is derived; the coefficients depend mainly on the linear dispersion relation, as does the nonlinear term. Envelope solitons may only exist together with some plasma instabilities. An example of solar radio bursts is selected as evidence for envelope solitons in the electromagnetic waveband.
