Breathing spatial solitons in non-Kerr media.

چکیده
The concept of soliton internal mode is introduced to explain quantitatively the long-lived oscillations of self-guided beams, or breathing spatial solitons. Cubic-quintic nonlinearity is considered in detail, and it is shown that the existence of the internal mode affects strongly the beam propagation in non-Kerr media, leading to oscillatory dependence of the output width of the beam versus its input power.

Bright 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 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 کاملQuantum fluctuations and correlations of spatial scalar or multimode vector solitons in Kerr media
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 betw...

We present a brief overview of the basic concepts of the theory of spatial optical solitons, including the soliton stability in non-Kerr media, the instability-induced soliton dynamics, and collision of solitary waves in nonintegrable nonlinear models.
متن کاملCollision 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...
