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

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 …

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 …

Solitons are ubiquitous. Their description involves abstruse mathematics and is limited to a
two-dimensional idealization. A nonlocal model is presented that provides a radical …

In physics, wave propagation is traditionally analyzed by means of regular solutions of wave
equations. However, solutions of wave equations in two and three dimensions often possess …

We present a modal theory of self-trapping spatially incoherent light beams in any general
nonlinear media. We find that a self-trapped incoherent beam induces a multimode …

A lthough people have always been fascinated by visual manifestations of nonlinear wave
phenomena, such as tsunamis and tidal waves, the first scientifically documented report of a …

Optical spatial solitons are self-trapped optical beams that exist by virtue of the balance
between diffraction and nonlinearity. They propagate and interact with one another while …

We present the first experimental observation of multihump multimode solitons in nature. In a
broader perspective, this is the first observation of a multihumped multimode self-trapped …

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 …
