چکیده
We study, numerically and analytically, linear and nonlinear waveguides induced by optical vortex solitons in a Kerr medium. Both fundamental and first-order guided modes are analyzed, as well as cases of effective defocusing and focusing nonlinearity.

Dipole-mode vector solitons
We find a new type of optical vector soliton that originates from trapping of a dipole mode by the soliton-induced waveguides. These solitons, which appear as a consequence of the vector nature of the two-component system, are more stable than the previously found optical vortex solitons and represent a new type of extremely robust nonlinear vector structure.
متن کاملExperiments on partially coherent photorefractive solitons
We provide an overview of experimental studies on partially coherent spatial solitons in photorefractive materials, including the first experimental demonstration of bright and dark incoherent solitons, incoherent vortex solitons, Y-junction dark solitons and anti-dark solitons, and pixel-like incoherent soliton arrays. These solitons are created with partially spatially incoherent light beams ...
متن کاملSpatial Optical Solitons in Waveguide Arrays
We overview theoretical and experimental results on spatial optical solitons excited in arrays of nonlinear waveguides. First, we briefly summarize the basic properties of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation frequently employed to study spatially localized modes in arrays, the so-called discrete solitons. Then, we introduce an improved analytical model that describes a periodic st...
متن کاملExperiments on Linear and Nonlinear Localization of Optical Vortices in Optically Induced Photonic Lattices
We provide a brief overview on our recent experimental work on linear and nonlinear localization of singly charged vortices (SCVs) and doubly charged vortices (DCVs) in two-dimensional optically induced photonic lattices. In the nonlinear case, vortex propagation at the lattice surface as well as inside the uniform square-shaped photonic lattices is considered. It is shown that, apart from the ...
متن کاملDynamics of Dark Solitons
-Spatial dark solitons are known to be stable nonlinear localized waves in self-defocusing media. We demonstrate how to analyse the dynamics of dark solitons in the presence of small perturbations, and we consider the effect of two-photon absorption on dark solitons as a particular example. We also predict a new type of dark solitons of circular symmetry, ring dark solitons, which are stable ag...
