Abstract
We consider a light wave propagation in tapered photonic crystal fibres (PCFs) wherein the wave
propagation is described by the variable coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We solve it
directly by means of the theta function identities and Hirota bilinear method in order to obtain
the exact periodic waves of sn, cn and dn types. These chirped period waves demand exponential
variations in both dispersion and nonlinearity. Besides, we analytically demonstrate the generation
of a train of ultrashort pulses using the periodic waves by exploiting the exponentially varying optical
properties of the tapered PCFs. As a special case, we discuss the chirped solitary pulses under long
wave limit of these periodic waves. In addition, we derive these types of periodic waves using the
self-similar analysis and compare the results.
