Optical spatial solitons and their interactions: Universality and diversity

GI Stegeman, M Segev - Science, 1999 - science.org
Spatial solitons, beams that do not spread owing to diffraction when they propagate, have
been demonstrated to exist by virtue of a variety of nonlinear self-trapping mechanisms …

Stable three-dimensional spatiotemporal solitons in a two-dimensional photonic lattice

D Mihalache, D Mazilu, F Lederer, YV Kartashov… - Physical Review E …, 2004 - APS
We investigate the existence and stability of three-dimensional spatiotemporal solitons in
self-focusing cubic Kerr-type optical media with an imprinted two-dimensional harmonic …

Optical gap solitons: Past, present, and future; theory and experiments

AB Aceves - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear …, 2000 - pubs.aip.org
Optical gap solitons refer to nonlinear waves propagating in optical fibers whose linear
refractive index has a periodic variation. Stationary gap solitons came to light first in 1987 …

Observation of two-dimensional surface solitons

X Wang, A Bezryadina, Z Chen, KG Makris… - Physical review …, 2007 - APS
We report the first experimental observation of two-dimensional surface solitons at the
boundaries (edges or corners) of a finite optically induced photonic lattice. Both in-phase …

Two-dimensional solitons in nonlinear lattices

YV Kartashov, BA Malomed, VA Vysloukh, L Torner - Optics letters, 2009 - opg.optica.org
We address the existence and stability of two-dimensional solitons in optical or matter-wave
media, which are supported by purely nonlinear lattices in the form of a periodic array of …

Observation of discrete vortex solitons in optically induced photonic lattices

DN Neshev, TJ Alexander, EA Ostrovskaya… - Physical review …, 2004 - APS
We report on the first experimental observation of discrete vortex solitons in two-dimensional
optically induced photonic lattices. We demonstrate strong stabilization of an optical vortex …

Optical spatial solitons

M Segev - Optical and Quantum Electronics, 1998 - Springer
It is almost common knowledge now that particles also possess properties of waves. But,
can localized wave-packets behave and interact like particles? This article is dedicated to …

Tunable refraction and reflection of self-confined light beams

M Peccianti, A Dyadyusha, M Kaczmarek, G Assanto - Nature Physics, 2006 - nature.com
Light filaments or optical spatial solitons are self-confined (non-spreading) beams that
originate from the balance between diffraction and self-focusing in nonlinear optical media …

Long-range interactions between optical solitons

C Rotschild, B Alfassi, O Cohen, M Segev - Nature Physics, 2006 - nature.com
Solitons are self-localized wave packets arising from a robust balance between dispersion
and nonlinearity. They are a universal phenomenon, exhibiting properties typically …
