Barrier transmission for the one–dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation: resonances and transmission profiles — •Kevin Rapedius and Hans Jürgen Korsch — Technische Universität Kaiserslautern, FB Physik, D-67653 Kaiserslautern, Germany

The stationary nonlinear Schrödinger equation (or Gross-Pitaevskii equation) for one-dimensional potential scattering is studied. The nonlinear transmission function shows a distorted profile, which differs from the Lorentzian one found in the linear case. This nonlinear profile function is analyzed and related to Siegert type complex resonances. It is shown, that the characteristic nonlinear profile function can be conveniently described in terms of skeleton functions depending on a few instructive parameters. These skeleton functions also determine the decay behavior of the underlying resonance state. Furthermore we extend the Siegert method for calculating resonances, which provides a convenient recipe for calculating nonlinear resonances. Applications to a double Gaussian barrier and a square well potential illustrate our analysis.
