چکیده

We demonstrate that, in contrast with what was previously believed, multihump solitary waves can be stable. By means of linear stability analysis and numerical simulations, we investigate the stability of twoand three-hump solitary waves governed by incoherent beam interaction in a saturable medium, providing a theoretical background for the stability of the experimental results reported by Mitchell, Segev, and Christodoulides [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 4657 (1998)].

Instabilities of Multihump Vector Solitons in Coupled Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations

Spectral stability of multihump vector solitons in the Hamiltonian system of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations is investigated both analytically and numerically. Using the closure theorem for the negative index of the linearized Hamiltonian, we classify all possible bifurcations of unstable eigenvalues in the systems of coupled NLS equations with cubic and saturable nonlinearities. ...

Instabilities of cavity solitons in optical parametric oscillators.

Using an example of cavity solitons in optical parametric oscillators it is demonstrated that Hopf instability of these dissipative structures can be directly associated with internal modes of their conservative counterparts. The latter ones are free propagating quadratic solitons in this case. Linear stability analysis and numerical simulation also reveal multistability and complex instability...

Multi-soliton energy transport in anharmonic lattices

We demonstrate the existence of dynamically stable multihump solitary waves in polaron-type models describing interaction of envelope and lattice excitations. In comparison with the earlier theory of multihump optical solitons (see Phys. Rev. Lett. 83 (1999) 296), our analysis reveals a novel physical mechanism for the formation of stable multihump solitary waves in nonintegrable multi-componen...

Stable rotating dipole solitons in nonlocal optical media.

We reveal that nonlocality can provide a simple physical mechanism for stabilization of multihump optical solitons and present what we believe to be the first example of stable rotating dipole solitons and soliton spiraling, which are known to be unstable in all types of realistic nonlinear media with a local response.

Composite multihump vector solitons carrying topological charge

We propose composite solitons carrying topological charge: multicomponent two dimensional [ (2+1)D] vector (Manakov-like) solitons for which at least one component carries topological charge. These multimode solitons can have a single hump or exhibit a multihump structure. The "spin" carried by these multimode composite solitons suggests 3D soliton interactions in which the particlelike behavio...
