Escaping solitons from a trapping potential.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Solitons propagating within a confining potential undergo momentum-dependent scattering and eventually escape for large excitations. We experimentally highlight this phenomenon in the presence of a nonperturbative nonlinear response using self-confined light beams in a reorientational medium.

Scattering and Trapping of Nonlinear Schrödinger Solitons in External Potentials
Soliton motion in some external potentials is studied using the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Solitons are scattered by a potential wall. Solitons propagate almost freely or are trapped in a periodic potential. The critical kinetic energy for reflection and trapping is evaluated approximately with a variational method. keywords: soliton, nonlinear Schrödinger equation, Lagrangian The nonlinea...
متن کاملInteraction of two one-dimensional Bose-Einstein solitons: chaos and energy exchange.
We analyze the bright soliton interactions of a Bose-Einstein condensate in quasi-one-dimensional traps putting an emphasis on integrability break down due to a trapping potential. In particular, we derive a simple analytical model, which describes well all major features of soliton dynamics including chaos and energy exchange between interacting solitons induced by the trapping potential.
متن کاملDeflection and trapping of spatial solitons in linear photonic potentials.
We investigate the dynamics of spatial optical solitons launched in a medium with a finite perturbation of the refractive index. For longitudinally short perturbations of super-Gaussian transverse profile, as the input power varies we observe a transition from a wave-like behavior where solitons break up into multiple fringes to a particle-like behavior where solitons acquire a transverse veloc...

Investigation of ion acoustic solitons in three component plasma including positive and negative ions and Maxwellian electrons shows that negative to positive relative ion density plays a critical role so that by changing ν over the range of 0<ν<1 compressive or rarefactive solitons will propagate. In this paper, it is shown that due to the superthermal electrons, there are three domains for ...
متن کاملRydberg-induced solitons: three-dimensional self-trapping of matter waves.
We propose a scheme for the creation of stable three-dimensional bright solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates, i.e., the matter-wave analog of so-called spatiotemporal "light bullets." Off-resonant dressing to Rydberg nD states is shown to provide nonlocal attractive interactions, leading to self-trapping of mesoscopic atomic clouds by a collective excitation of a Rydberg atom pair. We present ...
