contents We investigate topological vector potentials underlying the phases of nonlinear waves by performing Dirac's magnetic monopole theory in an extended complex plane, taking into account self-steepening effects while ignoring the usual cubic nonlinearities. We uncover that the simple poles and third-order poles of the density function constitute virtual monopole fields with higher charges $\pm3/2$ and $\pm5/2$, respectively. These results are in sharp contrast to the previous findings, where the simple zeros of the density function yield charges $\pm1/2$. We choose scalar and vector rogue waves as well as bright solitons to demonstrate the Dirac monopole potentials. These results confirm a series of quantized magnetic charges for virtual monopoles underlying nonlinear waves, and reveal new relations between poles of density functions and topological charges.
