Observation of attraction between dark solitons.
We demonstrate a dramatic change in the interaction forces between dark solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media. We present what we believe is the first experimental evidence of attraction of dark solitons. Our results indicate that attraction should be observable in other nonlocal systems, such as Bose-Einstein condensates with repulsive long-range interparticle interaction.
متن کاملAttraction of nonlocal dark optical solitons.
We study the formation and interaction of spatial dark optical solitons in materials with a nonlocal nonlinear response. We show that unlike in local materials, where dark solitons typically repel, the nonlocal nonlinearity leads to a long-range attraction and formation of stable bound states of dark solitons.
متن کاملExperimental observation of oscillating and interacting matter wave dark solitons.
We report on the generation, subsequent oscillation and interaction of a pair of matter-wave dark solitons. These are created by releasing a Bose-Einstein condensate from a double well potential into a harmonic trap in the crossover regime between one dimension and three dimensions. Multiple oscillations and collisions of the solitons are observed, in quantitative agreement with simulations of ...

متن کاملCoupling between dark and bright solitons
We discuss the mutual coupling of solitary waves of two di$erent types, dark and bright, due to nonlinear interaction between the modes with different signs of group-velocity dispersions, and find a novel class of vector solitons. We investigate the stability of these dark-bright solitons and reveal an important mechanism of soliton stabilization. PALS: 03.40.Kf; 42.50.Rh
