چکیده

We analyze the salient features of vortex-ring solitons supported by cylindrically symmetric media with nonlocal thermal nonlinearity. We discover the existence of a maximum allowed topological charge for such vortex solitons to be stable on propagation: Only vortex-ring solitons with topological charge m </= 2 are found to be stable. This remarkable result holds independently of the radius of the sample.

Numerical Analysis of Stability for Temporal Bright Solitons in a PT-Symmetric NLDC

PT-Symmetry is one of the interesting topics in quantum mechanics and optics. One of the demonstration of PT-Symmetric effects in optics is appeared in the nonlinear directional coupler (NLDC). In the paper we numerically investigate the stability of temporal bright solitons propagate in a PT-Symmetric NLDC by considering gain in bar and loss in cross. By using the analytical solutions of pertu...

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.

Stable counter-rotating vortex pairs in saturable media

We resolve a controversial issue of the stability of composite vortex solitons in self-focusing saturable nonlinear media. Stable vortex solitons with hidden angular momentum, i.e., composed of counter-rotating beams with topological charges +1 and −1, are found, and their linear-stability region is identified. In contrast, the solitons with explicit vorticity are always unstable against splitt...

Stable Vortex Solitons and Robust Soliton Complexes in Optical Media with Competing Nonlinearities

An overview of recent results in the field of vortex (spinning) solitons and soliton complexes composed of several fundamental (nonspinning) solitons in twoand three-dimensional optical media with competing nonlinearities is presented. It is concluded that multidimensional solitons with intrinsic topological charge are stable provided that their internal size and power (energy) are large enough...

0 D ec 2 00 5 Stable rotating dipole solitons in nonlocal optical media

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. ...
