description

We consider the coupled system of nonlinear Schrodinger and Maxwell-Bloch (NLS-MB) equations, which govern the nonlinear pulse propagation in erbium doped optical fibres. With the help of the Painleve singularity structure analysis, we prove the non-existence of optical solitons in the NLS-MB fibre system in the normal dispersion regime.
