Rotating optical soliton clusters.

چکیده
We introduce the concept of soliton clusters--multisoliton bound states in a homogeneous bulk optical medium--and reveal a key physical mechanism for their stabilization associated with a staircaselike phase distribution that induces a net angular momentum and leads to cluster rotation. The ringlike soliton clusters provide a nontrivial generalization of the concepts of two-soliton spiraling, optical vortex solitons, and necklace-type optical beams.

Spatial optical solitons and soliton clusters carrying an angular momentum
We describe different types of ring-profile optical solitary wave and clusters of fundamental solitons propagating in isotropic nonlinear optical media. Such ringlike solitons carry a finite angular momentum and, depending on the value of the total momentum and structure, they either fragment quickly into several fundamental solitons that fly off the ring, or propagate stably for many diffracti...
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...
متن کامل0 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. ...
متن کاملAll-Optical Reconfigurable-Tunable 1×N Power Splitter Using Soliton Breakup
In this paper, we numerically simulated a glass-based all-optical 1×N power splitter with eleven different configurations using soliton breakup in a nonlinear medium. It is shown that in addition to reconfigurability of the proposed splitter, its power splitting ratio is tunable up to some extent values too. Nonlinear semivectorial iterative finite difference beam propagation method (IFD-...
متن کاملSpatial soliton pairs in an unbiased photovoltaic-photorefractive crystal circuit
: Optical separate spatial dark and bright soliton pairs in steady-state case in one dimension, for a series circuit consisting of two-photon photorefractive (PR) crystal are investigated. Each crystal can be supported the spatial soliton, and at least one must be photovoltaic. The two solitons are known collectively as separate spatial soliton pairs with dark–dark, bright–dark and bright–brigh...
