Stabilization of vortex solitons by combining competing cubic-quintic nonlinearities with a finite degree of nonlocality

چکیده
In contrast to an infinite degree of nonlocality, we demonstrate that vortex solitons in nonlinear media under competing self-focusing cubic and self-defocusing quintic nonlocal nonlinearities can be stabilized with a finite degree of nonlocality. Stable vortex solitons in the upper branch, bifurcated from the competing cubic-quintic nonlinearities, are found to be supported when the original double-ring refractive index change is transferred into a single-ring configuration due to the balance between diffusive nonlocality and defocusing quintic nonlinearity. The dynamics and stabilities of the vortex solitons are studied analytically and numerically.

Nonlocal dark solitons under competing cubic-quintic nonlinearities.
We investigate properties of dark solitons under competing nonlocal cubic-local quintic nonlinearities. Analytical results, based on a variational approach and confirmed by direct numerical simulations, reveal the existence of a unique dark soliton solutions with their width being independent of the degree of nonlocality, due to the competing cubic-quintic nonlinearities.
متن کاملStable Higher-Charged Vortex Solitons in Optically-Induced Lattices
Vortices are fundamental objects which appear in many branches of physics [1] such as optics [2, 3] and Bose-Einstein condensates [4]. In nonlinear optics, vortex solitons are associated with the phase dislocations (or phase singularities) carried by the nondiffracting optical beams [5], and share many common properties with the vortices observed in other systems, e.g., superfluids and Bose-Ein...
متن کاملCubic-quintic condensate solitons in four-wave mixing
We experimentally investigate the two-dimensional condensate (optical dropletlike) soliton formation and dynamics of the generated signal and probe beams in four-wave mixing (FWM) process with atomic coherence, under competition between the thirdand fifth-order nonlinear susceptibilities. With such competing nonlinearities, mutual transformations among dropletlike fundamental, dipole, and azimu...
متن کاملStable 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...
متن کاملMobility of solitons in one-dimensional lattices with the cubic-quintic nonlinearity.
We investigate mobility regimes for localized modes in the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation with the cubic-quintic on-site terms. Using the variational approximation, the largest soliton's total power admitting progressive motion of kicked discrete solitons is predicted by comparing the effective kinetic energy with the respective Peierls-Nabarro (PN) potential barrier. The predic...
