Radiationless optical solitons with oscillating tails

NN Akhmediev, AV Buryak, M Karlsson - Optics Communications, 1994 - Elsevier
We investigate, analytically and numerically, stationary soliton-like pulse propagation in
nonlinear optical fibres, taking into account the effects of fourth order dispersion. A new type …

Light guiding light: Letting light be the master of its own destiny

AW Snyder, F Ladouceur - Optics and Photonics News, 1999 - opg.optica.org
Spatial solitons—not to be confused with their temporal cousins—may provide a means to
all-optical circuitry. This article l Page 1 Light Guiding Light: By Allan W. Snyder and François …

Multidimensional solitons in fiber arrays

AB Aceves, AM Rubenchik, SK Turitsyn, C De Angelis - Optics letters, 1994 - opg.optica.org
We demonstrate that nonlinear optical fiber arrays can support stable solitonlike pulses with
finite energy. The bound state that we have found is localized both in time and in spatial …

Multistable self-trapping of light and multistable soliton pulse propagation

A Kaplan - IEEE journal of quantum electronics, 1985 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
It is demonstrated that a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with certain nonlinearities allows
for an existence of multistate single solitons (ie, single solitons with the same carried power …

Coherent interactions of dissipative spatial solitons

EA Ultanir, GI Stegeman, CH Lange, F Lederer - Optics letters, 2004 - opg.optica.org
We report observation of the interaction between two coherent dissipative spatial solitons in
a periodically patterned semiconductor optical amplifier with power levels of tens of …

Waveguides formed by incoherent dark solitons

Z Chen, M Segev, DN Christodoulides, RS Feigelson - Optics letters, 1999 - opg.optica.org
We demonstrate experimentally optical guidance of coherent light beams, using incoherent
light. Such guidance is made possible by generation of partially spatially incoherent self …

Counterpropagating optical beams and solitons

M Petrović, M Belić, C Denz… - Laser & Photonics …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Physics of counterpropagating optical beams and spatial optical solitons is reviewed,
including the formation of stationary states and spatiotemporal instabilities. First, several …

Gap solitons

CM de Sterke, JE Sipe - Progress in optics, 1994 - Elsevier
Gap solitons are electromagnetic field structures that can exist in a nonlinear optical
medium, if there is also a periodic variation in the linear optical properties over a length …

Stable rotating dipole solitons in nonlocal optical media

S Lopez-Aguayo, AS Desyatnikov, YS Kivshar… - Optics letters, 2006 - opg.optica.org
We reveal that nonlocality can provide a simple physical mechanism for stabilization of
multihump optical solitons and present what we believe to be the first example of stable …
