Interaction of self-trapped beams in high index glass.
We observe attraction, repulsion and energy exchange between two self-trapped beams in a heavy-metal-oxide glass exhibiting a Kerr-like response with multiphoton absorption. The coherent interaction between spatial solitons is controlled by their relative phase and modelled by a nonlinear dissipative Schrödinger equation.
متن کاملSelf-accelerating self-trapped optical beams.
We present self-accelerating self-trapped beams in nonlinear optical media, exhibiting self-focusing and self-defocusing Kerr and saturable nonlinearities, as well as a quadratic response. In Kerr and saturable media such beams are stable under self-defocusing and weak self-focusing, whereas for strong self-focusing the beams off-shoot solitons while their main lobe continues to accelerate. Sel...
متن کاملCounterpropagating self-trapped beams in photorefractive crystals
A time-dependent model for the formation of self-trapped optical beams in photorefractive media by counterpropagating laser beams is analysed. It is shown that dynamically the beams may form stable steady-state structures or display periodic and irregular temporal behaviour. Steady-state solutions of non-uniform cross section are found, representing a general class of self-trapped waveguides, t...
متن کاملSelf-trapped optical beams: Spatial solitons
We present a brief overview of the basic concepts of the theory of spatial optical solitons, including the soliton stability in non-Kerr media, the instability-induced soliton dynamics, and collision of solitary waves in nonintegrable nonlinear models.
متن کاملSelf-accelerating self-trapped nonlinear beams of Maxwell's equations.
We present shape-preserving self-accelerating beams of Maxwell's equations with optical nonlinearities. Such beams are exact solutions to Maxwell's equations with Kerr or saturable nonlinearity. The nonlinearity contributes to self-trapping and causes backscattering. Those effects, together with diffraction effects, work to maintain shape-preserving acceleration of the beam on a circular trajec...
