Stability and Extraction of New Optical Wave Solutions of Cascaded System in (2 + 1)-dimensions

Abstract This paper uses the new modified sub-ODE method, the new extended auxiliary equation method, and the new Jacobi elliptic function expansion method to revisit the (2+1)-dimensional coupled nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation with cascading effect. As a consequence, dark, bright, kinkantikink, singular solitons, Weierstrass elliptic function, doubly periodic, and complex optical soliton solutions are retrieved. All solutions are described, along with the existence criterion on the parameters. As solitons are used for data transfer, the obtained results may be found usage in optical couplers, birefringed fibres, and optoelectronic devices. A comparison of the obtained results with those found in the literature is given. The dynamical behaviour of some of the obtained solutions has been explored for suitable choices of the parameters. Using the property of Hamiltonian systems, the solitons stability is determined.
