Optical solitons and wave-particle duality.

چکیده
We investigate the propagation of optical solitons interacting with linear defects in the medium. We show that solitons exhibit a wave-particle dualism versus power, i.e., depending on the relative size of soliton and defect, responsible for a soliton trajectory dependent on its waist.

Wave-Particle Duality and the Hamilton Action
The Hamilton-Jacobi equation of relativistic quantum mechanics is revisited. The equation is shown to permit solutions in the form of breathers (oscillating/spinning solitons), displaying simultaneous particle-like and wave-like behaviour. PACS: 03.65-w, 03.65Pm, 03.65.-b
متن کاملOptical vortex knots – one photon at a time
Feynman described the double slit experiment as "a phenomenon which is impossible, absolutely impossible, to explain in any classical way and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics". The double-slit experiment, performed one photon at a time, dramatically demonstrates the particle-wave duality of quantum objects by generating a fringe pattern corresponding to the interference of light (...
متن کاملKp Solitons Are Bispectral
It is by now well known that the wave functions of rational solutions to the KP hierarchy which can be achieved as limits of the pure nsoliton solutions satisfy an eigenvalue equation for ordinary differential operators in the spectral parameter. This property is known as “bispectrality” and has proved to be both interesting and useful. In a recent preprint (mathph/9806001) evidence was present...
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 کاملMultidimensional quantum solitons with nondegenerate parametric interactions: Photonic and Bose-Einstein condensate environments
We consider the quantum theory of three fields interacting via parametric and repulsive quartic couplings. This can be applied to treat photonic x (2) and x (3) interactions, and interactions in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates or quantum Fermi gases, describing coherent molecule formation together with s-wave scattering. The simplest two-particle quantum solitons or bound-state solutions of th...
