Propagation of a mutually incoherent optical vortex pair in anisotropic nonlinear media
نویسنده
چکیده
We study propagation of a pair of oppositely charged and mutually incoherent vortices in anisotropic nonlinear optical media. Mutual interactions retard the delocalization of the vortex core observed for isolated vortices.

Vortex Evolution and Bound Pair Formation in Anisotropic Nonlinear Optical Media.
We present a theoretical and experimental study of the propagation, decay, and interaction of optical vortices in media with an anisotropic nonlocal nonlinearity. The initial stage of decay of a circular vortex is characterized by charge dependent rotation, and stretching of the vortex. Our results suggest that a compact vortex of unit topological charge cannot exist in such media, but that a c...
متن کاملSpatial coherence singularities and incoherent vortex solitons
We study spatially localized optical vortices created by self-trapping of partially incoherent light with a phase dislocation in a biased photorefractive crystal. In contrast to a decay of coherent self-trapped vortex beams due to the azimuthal modulational instability, the incoherent vortices are stabilized for large values of the spatial incoherence; this was confirmed by experiment. We analy...
متن کاملObserved rotational enhancement of nonlinear optical vortices.
The propagation dynamics of an optical vortex pair is experimentally confirmed to experience enhanced rotation in a self-defocusing medium. We measured this effect to be 3.5 times larger than in linear media. The enhancement is attributed to nonlinear refraction within the dark vortex cores, permitting the vortices to propagate as vortex filaments.

In this paper, propagation of flattend Gaussian beam in optical media is simulated by split step fourier method, ABCD matrix method, and paraxial group method, and results are compared. For this purpose, at first, flattend Gaussian beam, strongly nonlocal nonlinear media and investigation methods of propagation of optical beams are introduced. Then, propagation of flattend Gaussian beam in free...
متن کاملPropagation of Incoherently Coupled Soliton Pairs in Photorefractive Crystals and their Self-Deflection
Propagation of incoherently soliton pairs in photorefractive crystals under steady-state conditions is studied. These soliton states can be generated when the two mutually incoherent optical beams with the same polarization and wavelength incident on the biased photorefractive crystal. Such soliton pairs can exist in bright-bright, dark-dark, gray-gray as well as in bright-dark types. In this p...
