Fundamental Peregrine Solitons of Ultrastrong Amplitude Enhancement through Self-Steepening in Vector Nonlinear Systems

We report the universal emergence of anomalous fundamental Peregrine solitons, which can exhibit an unprecedentedly ultrahigh peak amplitude comparable to any higher-order rogue wave events, in the vector derivative nonlinear Schrödinger system involving the self-steepening effect. We present the exact explicit rational solutions on either a continuous-wave or a periodical-wave background, for a broad range of parameters. We numerically confirm the buildup of anomalous Peregrine solitons from strong initial harmonic perturbations, despite the onset of competing modulation instability. Our results may stimulate the experimental study of such Peregrine soliton anomaly in birefringent crystals or other similar vector systems.
