Necklace-ring vector solitons.

چکیده
We introduce novel classes of optical vector solitons that consist of incoherently coupled self-trapped "necklace" beams carrying zero, integer, and even fractional angular momentum. Because of the stabilizing mutual attraction between the components, such stationary localized structures exhibit quasistable propagation for much larger distances than the corresponding scalar vortex solitons and expanding scalar necklace beams.

Self-Trapping of “Necklace” Beams in Self-Focusing Kerr Media
Solitons in Kerr media are the most well-studied solitons in nature. The reason for that is twofold. First, the Kerr nonlinearity can be found in many systems: It represents a weak symmetric anharmonicity, which is equivalent to a weak saturation in a simple harmonic oscillator. For electromagnetic waves propagating in a weakly nonlinear centrosymmetric dielectric media, the Kerr nonlinearity m...
متن کاملMultipole spatial vector solitons.
We introduce the concept of multipole spatial optical vector solitons associated with higher-order guided modes trapped by a soliton-induced waveguide in a bulk medium. Such stationary localized waves include previously predicted vortex- and dipole-mode vector solitons and also describe new higher-order vector solitons and necklace-type beams. We present the theoretical and experimental results...

متن کاملMultipole composite spatial solitons: theory and experiment
We discuss the properties of composite (or vector) spatial optical solitons created by the incoherent interaction of two optical beams and associated with higher-order modes guided by a soliton-induced waveguide in a bulk medium. Such stationary (2 1 1)-dimensional self-trapped localized structures include, in particular, vortexand dipole-mode vector solitons and also incorporate higher-order m...
متن کاملVortex Solitons and Rotating Azimuthons in Nonlinear Media
We give a brief overview of the recent advances in nonlinear singular optics that studies the propagation and stability of optical vortices in nonlinear media, with the emphasis on the properties of vortex solitons and rotating azimuthons. In general, self-focusing nonlinearity generates the azimuthal instability of vortex beams, but it can support novel types of stable (or metastable) self-tra...
