本文研究由具有自散焦克尔非线性和四阶色散的非线性薛定谔（NLS）方程描述的纯四次光学色散激波的产生与动力学。对应的无色散流体力学系统揭示了一种由流体力学速度的非线性自陡化驱动的独特破波机制。我们通过黎曼问题描述的光学溃坝构型阐释该机制，并表明与经典二次NLS方程不同，即使在小振幅区域，破波也发生在波分裂之前。对纯四次NLS（PQNLS）方程及其流体力学近似的数值模拟证实了这些在质上截然不同的动力学 regime。
英文摘要
In this paper, we study the emergence and dynamics of pure-quartic optical dispersive shock waves governed by the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with self-defocusing Kerr nonlinearity and fourth-order dispersion. The corresponding dispersionless hydrodynamic system reveals a distinct mechanism for wave breaking, driven by the nonlinear self-steepening of the hydrodynamic velocity. We illustrate this mechanism through optical dam-break configurations described by Riemann problems and show that, in contrast to the classical quadratic NLS equation, wave breaking occurs prior to wave splitting even in the small amplitude regime. Numerical simulations of the pure-quartic NLS (PQNLS) equation and its hydrodynamic approximation confirm these qualitatively distinct dynamical regimes.
