We present an overview of nonlinear phenomena related to optical quadratic solitons—
intrinsically multi-component localized states of light, which can exist in media without …

We review the properties of optical spatial dissipative solitons (SDS). These are stable, self‐
localized optical excitations sitting on a uniform, or quasi‐uniform, background in a …

This book addresses a subject at the crossing point of two lines of investi gation-synergetics
and modern nonlinear optics. First, the book is devoted to optical patterns that previously …

Solitons are shape preserving waveforms that are ubiquitous across nonlinear dynamical
systems from BEC to hydrodynamics, and fall into two separate classes: bright solitons …

The growth of regularity from disorder, the evolution from the simple towards the complex,
and the spontaneous formation of spatio temporal patterns in general are questions which …

We report the pattern formation of degenerate optical parametric mixing—a system with the
real-valued order parameter. The phenomena have similarities with and extend those of …

LOCALIZED STRUCTURES IN NONLINEAR OPTICAL MEDIA: A SELECTION OF RECENT
STUDIES Page 1 Romanian Reports in Physics, Vol. 67, No. 4, P. 1383–1400, 2015 Dedicated …

We review publications on transverse dynamics in cavity nonlinear optics during the years
2000–2003. Topics covered are transverse pattern dynamics, localized structures, scaling of …

In this introduction we list important definitions and relations that will be used throughout the
book. We will use SI units exclusively. In a departure from custom, for degenerate mixing …

Using a passive, coherently driven nonlinear optical fiber ring resonator, we report the
experimental realization of dissipative polarization domain walls. The domain walls arise …
