Quantum fluctuations and correlations of spatial scalar or multimode vector solitons in Kerr media

چکیده
We apply the Green’s function method to determine the global degree of squeezing and the transverse spatial distribution of quantum fluctuations of solitons in Kerr media. We show that both scalar bright solitons and multimode vector solitons experience strong squeezing on the optimal quadrature. For vector solitons, this squeezing is shown to result from an almost perfect anti-correlation between the fluctuations on the two incoherently-coupled circular polarisations.

Collision 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 کاملSpatial solitons in Kerr and Kerr-like media
This is a review paper of basic knowledge and recent advances in the area of spatial solitons in Kerr and Kerr-like media. We consider spatial bright and dark solitons, sol-itons in waveguide geometries, optical bullets, vortex solitons and, brie¯y, dissipative cases. In our treatment, we use a Hamiltonian approach when considering stability issues.
متن کاملPolarized dark solitons in isotropic Kerr media
We characterize dark-type vector optical solitons of arbitrary polarization in isotropic, Kerr-type media by applying Hirota’s method to the integrable Manakov model with a defocusing nonlinearity. We find that nonuniformly polarized solitons comprise a rich solution family that can be divided into two categories: dark-dark and dark-bright vector solitons. We consider the propagation dynamics a...
متن کاملBright and dark spatial solitons in non - Kerr media
An overview of the theory of self-guided optical beams, spatial optical solitons supported by non-Kerr non-linearities, is presented. This includes bright and dark solitons in optical media with intensity-dependent non-linear response as well as two-component solitary waves supported by parametric wave mixing in quadratic or cubic media. The properties of non-linear spatially localized waves ar...
متن کاملQuantum Lattice Representation of Dark Solitons
The nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation in a self-defocusing Kerr medium supports dark solitons. Moreover the mean field description of a dilute Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which for a highly anisotropic (cigar-shaped) magnetic trap reduces to a one-dimensional (1D) cubic NLS in an external potential. A quantum lattice algorithm is developed fo...
