Solitons, nonlinear self-trapped wavepackets, have been extensively studied in many and
diverse branches of physics such as optics, plasmas, condensed matter physics, fluid …

The nonlinear propagation of coherent optical fields has been extensively explored in the
framework of nonlinear optics, while the linear propagation of incoherent fields has been …

The current research into solitons and their use in fiber optic communications is very
important to the future of communications. Since the advent of computer networking and …

The latest edition of the leading resource on the properties and applications of liquid crystals
In the newly revised Third Edition of Liquid Crystals, Professor Iam Choon Khoo delivers a …

We review the recent developments of spatial optical solitons in nematic liquid crystals, also
known as Nematicons. We outline their properties, linked to a reorientational nonlinearity in …

We show that modulation instability can exist with partially spatially incoherent light beams
in a noninstantaneous nonlinear environment. For such incoherent modulation instability to …

We demonstrate the existence of various types of gap localized modes, including one-and
two-dimensional (1D and 2D) single solitons and soliton clusters, as well as the …

“Dark beams” are nonuniform optical beams that contain either a one-dimensional (1D) dark
stripe or a two-dimensional (2D) dark hole resulting from a phase singularity or an amplitude …

We analytically demonstrate the existence of white light solitons in logarithmically saturable
noninstantaneous nonlinear media. This incoherent soliton has elliptic Gaussian intensity …

We present analytical and numerical results related to partially coherent solitons (PCS) of a
novel class. In effect, there is freedom to choose the shape of a PCS as it is governed by 2 …
