Abstract
This paper discusses the time-fractional nonlinear Schrödinger model with optical soliton solutions. We employ the -expansion method to attain the optical solution solutions. An important tool for explaining the particular explosion of brief pulses in optical fibers is the nonlinear Schrödinger model. It can also be utilized in a telecommunications system. The suggested method yields trigonometric solutions such as dark, bright, kink, and anti-kink-type optical soliton solutions. Mathematica 11 software creates 2D and 3D graphs for many physically important parameters. The computational method is effective and generally appropriate for solving analytical problems related to complicated nonlinear issues that have emerged in the recent history of nonlinear optics and mathematical physics. Furthermore, we venture into uncharted territory by subjecting our model to chaotic and sensitivity analysis, shedding light on its robustness and responsiveness to perturbations. The proposed technique is being applied to this model for the first time.
1. Introduction
Solitons function similarly to Fourier modes in linear media and are now recognized as essential building blocks of modes in nonlinear dispersive media. Specifically, the particle (fermion) idea in the inverse scattering transform (IST) is supported by identifying a soliton as an eigenvalue. Concurrently, it was shown that self-focusing was possible in a Kerr medium [1], and it was shown that the balance between refraction and cubic nonlinearity led to the emergence of a spatially localized solution resembling a soliton. Due to its increasing importance, scientific research has concentrated heavily on studying nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Various scientific domains use nonlinear PDEs, such as the earth sciences, physics, mathematics, engineering, and other technological sectors. Research has concentrated on understanding and solving these nonlinear PDEs for a long time, both analytically and numerically. For nonlinear PDEs and nonlinear optics in physics-related fields, including fluid mechanics, plasma theory, and nonlinear optics, numerous solitary wave solutions have been found in the domain of precise solutions. NLS equations have become vital instruments for discussing various physical events in many scientific domains.
Nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDEs) govern most physical phenomena and dynamical systems. The study of nonlinear wave propagation issues has promoted the development of NPDEs. The primary goal in nonlinear physics is to find solutions to NPDEs, predominantly solitary and soliton wave solutions. Solutions aid in the understanding of nonlinear physical and natural systems. In several basic sciences, including mathematics and engineering, non-partial differential equations (NPDEs) are used to approximate a variety of processes and dynamics [2,3,4,5,6].
Russell developed the key concept of the soliton in 1844 [7], based on a coincidental thought that happened on the Edinburgh–Glasgow Canal in 1834, referred to as “a great translation wave”. This phenomenon was eventually named “solitary waves” because of the shape of the single pulse. Therefore, two of the well-known researchers who have conducted a hypothetical examination on lone waves are Boussinesc and Rayleigh [7]. Since then, single-wave research has developed to become one of the main fields of study for single waves. Solitary waves that are self-contained, strong, steady, and persistent do not disperse and hold onto their identity as they move across the medium. They include high-speed media transmissions and the occurrence of controlled solitons in numerous crucial fields of physics and technology. Solitons are self-positioning wave units with their own Broglie wavelength equivalents due to Galilean symmetry. Conversely, the soliton, an extended particle-like object, has negative self-interaction energy (binding energy) and is bound by nonlinear self-interaction at the self-induced trapping potential. It provides details on the geometry and form of solitons [8].
Many researchers utilized diverse algorithms to find the analytical solution such as the Sine–Gordon expansion algorithm [9,10], the Jacobi-elliptic technique [11], the homogeneous balance technique [12], the modified simple equation approach [13,14,15], the auxiliary equation technique [16,17], the modified extended direct algebraic method [18], the extended tanh expansion method [19], -expansion technique [20], the Auto-Bäcklund transformation [21], and Hirota’s bilinear technique [22]. A variety of fractional derivatives are essential to the physical phenomena of nonlinear partial differential equations, such as the Beta derivative [20], Jumarie’s modified Riemann–Liouville derivative [23], the Riemann–Liouville derivative [24], the fractal derivatives [25], Atangana’s conformable derivative [26], the Caputo derivative [27], and the Atangana–Baleanu fractional operator [28]. The coupled NLSE is utilized to search out the wave propagation in continuous mediums [29], which happens in the typical scenario arising slowly fluctuating waves of small amplitude, like the long-distance pulse propagation in fluid dynamics, optical fibers, nonlinear optics, quantum mechanics, and other physical nature [30,31], which reads
where and are the real functions, is a complex function of time t and x. The parameters are the fractional order of derivatives having values . Moreover Equations (1)–(3) describe non-relativistic quantum mechanical behavior and nonlinear media. The main idea of this study is shown in Figure 1. The present study is distributed into different sections. In Section 2, we present the beta derivative and the description of the algorithm. Section 3 presents the optical solitary wave solution of the considered model. Section 4 presents the chaotic analysis and Section 5 presents the sensitivity analysis. The results attained through -expansion algorithm will be analyzed graphically in Section 6. The conclusion is presented in Section 7.

6. Results and Discussion
The graphical representation of the NLS model solutions is covered in this section. Using Mathematica 11 to help establish appropriate values for the arbitrary constants, the physical aspect of the nonlinear model is highlighted. In [32], Tariq et al. found dark, singular, bright, and periodic soliton solutions of the NLS equation using a unified method and the simple equation method. In [30], Rafiq et al. achieved period, kink, anti-kink, and dark solutions using the unified Riccati equation expansion method and the generalized Kudryashov method. In [31], Shakeel et al. discovered various optical soliton solutions employing the generalized exponential rational function method. In the current study, we are utilizing the -expansion method to find out more generalized soliton solutions.
- Figure 6, Figure 7 and Figure 8 present the periodic behaviors of optical solitons. Periodic waves are repetitive disturbances that propagate through a medium at recurring intervals. These waves exhibit a consistent pattern of amplitude, frequency, and wavelength variations over time. The key aspect of periodic waves is that they regularly repeat their form after a certain interval.

Figure 7. Periodic-type optical waves of (33) with parameters , .
Figure 8. Singular periodic-type optical waves of (37) with parameters , . - Figure 9 shows the dark behavior of the optical soliton. In the optics, “dark waves” might refer to regions in a wave pattern with significantly lower amplitude or intensity than surrounding areas. This could happen, for example, in interference patterns where formative and destructive interference outcomes are present in regions of light and darkness.
Figure 9. Dark-type optical waves of (29) with parameters , . - Figure 10 and Figure 11 present the kink and anti-kink waves. Kinks are localized disturbances or “bumps” that occur within a medium. Anti-kinks are identical to kinks but illustrate transitions in the opposite approach. They also apply a sharp change in the field value (but in the opposite direction approximated to kinks). Anti-kink waves can be considered localized “dips” or “depressions” in the field profile.

Figure 11. Anti-kink-type optical waves of (35) with parameters , .
In the 2D graph, there is a blue line for , a black line for , a red line for , a blue line for , a black line for , and a red line for . In the 2D graph, we observed that when the value of t increases, amplitude decreases, and amplitude increases when the value of t decreases. Similarly, by increasing the value of the beta amplitude, it decreases; otherwise, it increases. The fractional parameter value is the same in each 3D plot.
7. Conclusions
This article described the beta derivative-based time fractional nonlinear Schrödinger model. The generalized optical soliton solutions were achieved by utilizing the -expansion method for a given model, and the results were successfully verified with chaotic and sensitivity analysis. Bright, kink, anti-kink, dark, exponential, trigonometric, and hyperbolic outcomes were attained. Additionally, applications for these analytical solitary wave solutions are evident in optical fibers and communication systems. The suggested approach is vital in solving nonlinear PDEs and mathematical physics. The results show that the nonlinearities and dispersive effects can be balanced to produce solutions for solitary waves that propagate while maintaining their speed and shape.
