Dark solitons in dispersive quadratic media.

چکیده
We analyze dark solitons supported by second-order parametric interactions between the fundamental and second harmonics in the presence of dispersion and group-velocity mismatch. We reveal various types of solitary waves, including a family of two-wave dark solitons propagating on a modulationally stable background, dark solitons with nonmonotonic tails, and bound states of dark solitons.

Dimensional Effects on Solitonic Matter and Optical Waves with Normal and Anomalous Dispersion
We investigate bright and dark solitons with anomalous or normal dispersion and under transverse harmonic confinement. In matter waves, positive atomic mass implies anomalous dispersion (kinetic spreading) while negative mass gives normal dispersion (kinetic shrinking). We find that, contrary to the strictly onedimensional case, the axial and transverse profiles of these solitons crucially depe...
متن کاملDark Solitons, Dispersive Shock Waves, and Transverse Instabilities
The nature of transverse instabilities of dark solitons for the (2+1)-dimensional defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger/Gross–Pitaevskĭi (NLS/GP) equation is considered. Special attention is given to the small (shallow) amplitude regime, which limits to the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation. We study analytically and numerically the eigenvalues of the linearized NLS/GP equation. The dispersion re...

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...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal solitons in multidimensional optical media with a quadratic nonlinearity
We consider solutions to the second-harmonic generation equations in twoand three-dimensional dispersive media in the form of solitons localized in space and time. As is known, collapse does not take place in these models, which is why the solitons may be stable. The general solution is obtained in an approximate analytical form by means of a variational approach, which also allows the stabilit...
متن کاملDark Optical Solitons: Physics and Applications
We present a detailed overview of the physics and applications of optical dark solitons: localized nonlinear waves (or ‘holes’) existing on a stable continuous wave (or extended finite-width) background. Together with the traditional problems involving properties of dark solitons of the defocusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we also describe recent theoretical results on optical vorte...
