Vortex pairs in nonlocal nonlinear media
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dynamics of vortex pairs with the same and opposite circulations are studied theoretically in nonlocal nonlinear media with different intervortex separations. We demonstrate that the nonlocal nonlinear response not only leads to a dramatic suppression of the elliptical instabilities but also helps in the formation of quasi-stable rotating and breathing bound states for vortex–vortex and vortex–antivortex (vortex dipole) pairs, respectively.

Stable vortex solitons in nonlocal self-focusing nonlinear media.
We reveal that spatially localized vortex solitons become stable in self-focusing nonlinear media when the vortex symmetry-breaking azimuthal instability is eliminated by a nonlocal nonlinear response. We study the main properties of different types of vortex beams and discuss the physical mechanism of the vortex stabilization in spatially nonlocal nonlinear media.
متن کاملTracking azimuthons in nonlocal nonlinear media
We study the formation of azimuthons, i.e., rotating spatial solitons, in media with nonlocal focusing nonlinearity. We show that whole families of these solutions can be found by considering internal modes of classical non-rotating stationary solutions, namely vortex solitons. This offers an exhaustive method to identify azimuthons in a given nonlocal medium. We demonstrate formation of azimut...
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...

Recently increased interest in the study of self-trapped optical beams in nonlocal nonlinear media is explained by experimental observations of nonlocal spatial solitons in liquid crystals and lead glasses as well as a number of many interesting theoretical predictions, including stabilization of vortex solitons against symmetry breaking instability in the media with nonlocal optical response. ...
متن کاملRotating soliton solutions in nonlocal nonlinear media.
We discuss generic properties of rotating nonlinear wave solutions, the so called azimuthons, in nonlocal media. Variational methods allow us to derive approximative values for the rotating frequency, which is shown to depend crucially on the nonlocal response function. Further on, we link families of azimuthons to internal modes of classical non-rotating stationary solutions, namely vortex and...
