Plane wave numerical stability for cubic Schr\"odinger equation has already been studied in the literature when integrating in time with a first-order splitting and with some second-order implicit methods. On the other hand, it has recently been observed that exponential Lawson methods can be an efficient tool to integrate this equation. In particular, when this type of methods are based on explicit Runge-Kutta ones, after projecting on one invariant (norm), the numerical solution arrives at another invariant (momentum) for many solutions which include plane waves. As the projection is very cheap, some times these methods are competitive against splitting ones, which have also been proved to very efficient when intetrating this equation. In this talk, we will show the results of an exhaustive analysis on plane wave numerical stability when integrating with the following second-order explicit exponential methods: Strang splitting and Lawson methods based on a one-parameter family of 2-stage Runge-Kutta ones. For the latter, we will consider the projected and unprojected version onto the norm. We will show stability regions and numerical experiments which corroborate theoretical results.
