Observation of bound states of interacting vector solitons.

چکیده
We report experimental observation of bound states formed by two well-separated vector spatial solitons as the result of a force balance between vector-soliton components. We also demonstrate a link between such soliton bound states and two-hump, two-mode solitons, along with the induced coherence effect observed for incoherently interacting solitons.

متن کاملCoexistence of polarization-locked and polarization-rotating vector solitons in a fiber laser with SESAM.
We report the experimental observation of the coexistence of polarization-locked vector solitons (PLVSs) and polarization-rotating vector solitons (PRVSs) in a fiber laser mode locked with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. It was found experimentally that interaction between the PLVSs in a fiber laser could lead to formation of bound states of PRVSs. Moreover, the bound PRVSs as a unit...
متن کاملCollision between scalar and vector spatial solitons in Kerr media
Experimental observation and numerical results concerning collisions between scalar and vector spatial solitons in a Kerr planar waveguide are presented. It is shown that this configuration allows for the full control of spatial and polarization dynamics of the interacting vector solitons. On the one hand, the ability to achieve polarization control of a single-hump vector soliton is demonstrat...
متن کاملA tail-matching method for the linear stability of multi-vector-soliton bound states
Linear stability of multi-vector-soliton bound states in the coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations is analyzed using a new tailmatching method. Under the condition that individual vector solitons in the bound states are wave-and-daughter-waves and widely separated, small eigenvalues of these bound states that bifurcate from the zero eigenvalue of single vector solitons are calculated explicit...
متن کاملVector dark solitons.
It is shown that a novel class of optical soliton is possible in the form of vector dark solitons. These nonlinear waves describe bound states of two gray solitons with different background intensities in each mode that are strongly coupled through cross-phase modulation.
