Chirped and chirp-free self-similar cnoidal and solitary wave solutions of the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with distributed coefficients

By means of the similarity transformation connecting with the solvable stationary cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (CQNLSE), we construct explicit chirped and chirp-free self-similar cnoidal wave and solitary wave solutions of the generalized CQNLSE with spatially inhomogeneous group velocity dispersion (GVD) and amplification or attenuation. As an example, we investigate their propagation dynamics in a soliton control system.
