Amplitude wave in one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation

The wave propagation in the one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) is studied by considering a wave source at the system boundary. A special propagation region, which is an island-shaped zone surrounded by the defect turbulence in the system parameter space, is observed in our numerical experiment. The wave signal spreads in the whole space with a novel amplitude wave pattern in the area. The relevant factors of the pattern formation, such as the wave speed, the maximum propagating distance and the oscillatory frequency, are studied in detail. The stability and the generality of the region are testified by adopting various initial conditions. This finding of the amplitude pattern extends the wave propagation region in the parameter space and presents a new signal transmission mode, and is therefore expected to be of much importance.
