چکیده
We investigate properties of dark solitons in nonlocal materials with an arbitrary degree of nonlocality. We employ the variational technique and describe dark solitons, for the first time to our knowledge, in the whole range of degree of nonlocality.

Nonlocal dark solitons under competing cubic-quintic nonlinearities.
We investigate properties of dark solitons under competing nonlocal cubic-local quintic nonlinearities. Analytical results, based on a variational approach and confirmed by direct numerical simulations, reveal the existence of a unique dark soliton solutions with their width being independent of the degree of nonlocality, due to the competing cubic-quintic nonlinearities.

Spatial dark optical solitons are localized light intensity dips in the infinite constant background [1–3]. Like their bright counterparts, they propagate preserving their spatial profile. This is a result of a balance between diffraction which tends to broaden their size and nonlinearity of the medium which counteracts this process. The existence of dark spatial solitons requires the nonlinear...
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 کاملSolitons in nonlocal nonlinear media: exact solutions.
We investigate the propagation of one-dimensional bright and dark spatial solitons in a nonlocal Kerr-like media, in which the nonlocality is of general form. We find an exact analytical solution to the nonlinear propagation equation in the case of weak nonlocality. We study the properties of these solitons and show their stability.
متن کاملObservation 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.
