Abstract

We study theoretically the dynamics of a beam launched inside an amplifying trap potential. Raising the amplification transforms the dynamics from linear tunneling at low amplification to periodic ejection of a sequence of identical solitons (when the amplification rate exceeds the tunneling rate) and, at strong amplification, to nonperiodic multisoliton ejection.
