摘要

By applying the variational approach, the analytical expression of dipole breathers is obtained in nonlinear media with an exponential-decay nonlocal response. The parameters of the width, the amplitude, the phase-front curvature, and the phase of the complex amplitude of the dipole breathers are all given in analytical expressions. It is found that the input power plays a key role in the evolution of dipole breathers, whose magnitude decides the change of the beam width (compressed or broadened) during propagation. The physical reason for the evolution of dipole breathers is analyzed in detail. Numerical simulations are also carried out, and the analytical solutions are in good agreement with numerical simulations.
