We consider the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) model incorporating linear and nonlinear gain/loss. First, we describe analytically the dynamical regimes (depending on the gain/loss strengths), for finite-time collapse, decay, and global existence of solutions in the dynamics. Then, for all the above parametric regimes, we use direct numerical simulations to study the dynamics corresponding to algebraically decaying initial data. We identify crucial differences between the dynamics of vanishing initial conditions, and those converging to a finite constant background: in the former (latter) case we find strong (weak) collapse or decay, when the gain/loss parameters are selected from the relevant regimes. One of our main results, is that in all the above regimes, non-vanishing initial data transition through spatiotemporal, algebraically decaying waveforms. While the system is nonintegrable, the evolution of these waveforms is reminiscent to the evolution of the Peregrine rogue wave of the integrable NLS limit. The parametric range of gain and loss for which this phenomenology persists is also touched upon.

We discuss the finite-time collapse, also referred as blow-up, of the solutions of a discrete nonlinear Schr{o}dinger (DNLS) equation incorporating linear and nonlinear gain and loss. This DNLS system appears in many inherently discrete physical cont exts as a more realistic generalization of the Hamiltonian DNLS lattice. By using energy arguments in finite and infinite dimensional phase spaces (as guided by the boundary conditions imposed), we prove analytical upper and lower bounds for the collapse time, valid for both the defocusing and focusing cases of the model. In addition, the existence of a critical value in the linear loss parameter is underlined, separating finite time-collapse from energy decay. The numerical simulations, performed for a wide class of initial data, not only verified the validity of our bounds, but also revealed that the analytical bounds can be useful in identifying two distinct types of collapse dynamics, namely, extended or localized. Pending on the discreteness /amplitude regime, the system exhibits either type of collapse and the actual blow-up times approach, and in many cases are in excellent agreement, with the upper or the lower bound respectively. When these times lie between the analytical bounds, they are associated with a nontrivial mixing of the above major types of collapse dynamics, due to the corroboration of defocusing/focusing effects and energy gain/loss, in the presence of discreteness and nonlinearity.
Following the concept of $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric couplers, we propose a linearly coupled system of nonlinear waveguides, made of positive- and negative-index materials, which carry, respectively, gain and loss. We report novel bi- and multi-stability states pertaining to transmitted and reflective intensities, which are controlled by the ratio of the gain and loss coefficients, and phase mismatch between the waveguides. These states offer transmission regimes with extremely low threshold intensities for transitions between coexisting states, and very large amplification ratio between the input and output intensities leading to an efficient way of controlling light with light.
We perform a numerical study of the initial-boundary value problem, with vanishing boundary conditions, of a driven nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLS) with linear damping and a Gaussian driver. We identify Peregrine-like rogue waveforms, excited by two different types of vanishing initial data decaying at an algebraic or exponential rate. The observed extreme events emerge on top of a decaying support. Depending on the spatial/temporal scales of the driver, the transient dynamics -- prior to the eventual decay of the solutions -- may resemble the one in the semiclassical limit of the integrable NLS, or may, e.g., lead to large-amplitude breather-like patterns. The effects of the damping strength and driving amplitude, in suppressing or enhancing respectively the relevant features, as well as of the phase of the driver in the construction of a diverse array of spatiotemporal patterns, are numerically analyzed.
We present study of the dynamics of two ring waveguide structure with space dependent coupling, linear gain and nonlinear absorption - the system that can be implemented in polariton condensates, optical waveguides, and nanocavities. We show that by turning on and off local coupling between rings one can selectively generate permanent vortex in one of the rings. We find that due to the modulation instability it is also possible to observe several complex nonlinear phenomena, including spontaneous symmetry breaking, stable inhomogeneous states with interesting structure of currents flowing between rings, generation of stable symmetric and asymmetric circular flows with various vorticities, etc. The latter can be created in pairs (for relatively narrow coupling length) or as single vortex in one of the channels, that is later alternating between channels.
A Parity-Time (PT)-symmetric system with periodically varying-in-time gain and loss modeled by two coupled Schrodinger equations (dimer) is studied. It is shown that the problem can be reduced to a perturbed pendulum-like equation. This is done by fi nding two constants of motion. Firstly, a generalized problem using Melnikov type analysis and topological degree arguments is studied for showing the existence of periodic (libration), shift periodic (rotation), and chaotic solutions. Then these general results are applied to the PT-symmetric dimer. It is interestingly shown that if a sufficient condition is satisfied, then rotation modes, which do not exist in the dimer with constant gain-loss, will persist. An approximate threshold for PT-broken phase corresponding to the disappearance of bounded solutions is also presented. Numerical study is presented accompanying the analytical results.
