We show that one-dimensional parametric spatial solitons undergo temporal instability that leads to their breakup into spatiotemporal patterns with a characteristic snakelike shape.

Symmetry-breaking instabilities of spatial parametric solitons

For three decades optical spatial solitons confined in the transverse plane were commonly believed to be a prerogative of media with cubiclike nonlinearities @1#. A remarkable exception is the work carried out in Ref. @2#, where the possibility to achieve diffraction-free propagation via threephoton interactions in quadratic media ~henceforth, parametric solitons! was first pointed out. The fie...

Stabilization of dark and vortex parametric spatial solitons.

We demonstrate that a weak defocusing Kerr effect in an optical medium with predominantly quadratic [or chi((2))] nonlinear response can eliminate the parametric modulational instability of plane waves, leading to the existence of stable two-wave dark and vortex spatial solitons.

Neck instability of bright solitary waves in hyperbolic Kerr media

Symmetry-breaking instability of solitons has been studied in different areas of physics and appears as a common feature shared by most solitons despite the diversity of the physical systems that support them [1–3]. In optics, the break-up of self guided light beams through transverse and/or modulational instability has been demonstrated for solitons in self-focussing and defocusing Kerr media ...

Bright and dark solitary waves in the presence of third-harmonic generation

We analyze the effect of phase-matched third-harmonic generation on the existence and stability of (1 1 1)-dimensional bright and dark spatial solitary waves in optical media with a cubic (or Kerr) nonlinear response. We demonstrate that parametric coupling of the fundamental beam with the third harmonic leads to the existence of two-color solitary waves resembling those in a x (2) medium and t...
