3 Spatial optical solitons supported by mutual focusing

چکیده
We study composite spatial optical solitons supported by two-wave mutual focusing induced by cross-phase modulation in Kerr-like nonlinear media. We find the families of both singleand two-hump solitons and discuss their properties and stability. We also reveal remarkable similarities between recently predicted holographic solitons in photorefractive media and parametric solitons in quadratic nonlinear crystals.

متن کاملSpatial soliton pairs in an unbiased photovoltaic-photorefractive crystal circuit
: Optical separate spatial dark and bright soliton pairs in steady-state case in one dimension, for a series circuit consisting of two-photon photorefractive (PR) crystal are investigated. Each crystal can be supported the spatial soliton, and at least one must be photovoltaic. The two solitons are known collectively as separate spatial soliton pairs with dark–dark, bright–dark and bright–brigh...
متن کاملDo solitonlike self-similar waves exist in nonlinear optical media?
We show analytically that bright and dark spatial self-similar waves can propagate in graded-index amplifiers exhibiting self-focusing or self-defocusing Kerr nonlinearities. The intensity profiles of the novel waves are identical with those of fundamental bright or dark spatial solitons supported by homogeneous passive waveguides with the same type of nonlinearity. Thus, we reveal a previously...
متن کاملSingle- and double-vortex vector solitons in self-focusing nonlinear media.
We study two-component spatial optical solitons carrying an angular momentum and propagating in a self-focusing saturable nonlinear medium. When one of the components is small, such vector solitons can be viewed as a self-trapped vortex beam that guides either the fundamental or first-order guided mode, and they are classified as single- and double-vortex vector solitons. For such composite vor...
متن کاملFamilies of Two-Colour Helmholtz Spatial Solitons
Multi-colour spatial solitons comprise localized optical components at distinct temporal frequencies [1]. The components (which may be bright-like and dark-like) tend to overlap in space, thereby allowing the interplay between linear spreading (diffraction) and nonlinear effects (selfand mutual-focusing) to result in an electromagnetic structure with a stationary intensity pattern. Two-colour s...
