Spatiotemporal optical solitons in nonlinear dissipative media: from stationary light bullets to pulsating complexes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nonlinear dissipative systems display the full (3+1)D spatiotemporal dynamics of stable optical solitons. We review recent results that were obtained within the complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation model. Numerical simulations reveal the existence of stationary bell-shaped (3+1)D solitons for both anomalous and normal chromatic dispersion regimes, as well as the formation of double soliton complexes. We provide additional insight concerning the possible dynamics of these soliton complexes, consider collision cases between two solitons, and discuss the ways nonstationary evolution can lead to optical pattern formation.

Stationary and pulsating dissipative light bullets from a collective variable approach.
A collective variable approach is used to map domains of existence for (3+1)-dimensional spatiotemporal soliton solutions of a complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation. A rich variety of evolution behaviors, which include stationary and pulsating dissipative soliton dynamics, is revealed. Comparisons between the results obtained by the semianalytical approach of collective variables, and ...
متن کاملOptical bullets and double bullet complexes in dissipative systems.
We show that optical light bullets can coexist with double bullet complexes in nonlinear dissipative systems. Coexistence occurs for a relatively large range of the system parameters, and is associated with either marginal stability or bistable existence of the two dissipative soliton species. In the case of marginal stability, spontaneous transformations of single bullets into double bullet co...
متن کاملStable discrete surface light bullets.
We analyze spatiotemporal light localization near the edge of a semi-infinite array of weakly coupled nonlinear optical waveguides and demonstrate the existence of a novel class of continuous-discrete spatiotemporal solitons, the so-called discrete surface light bullets. We show that their properties are strongly affected by the presence of the surface. To this end the crossover between surface...
متن کاملOptical bullets and "rockets" in nonlinear dissipative systems and their transformations and interactions.
We demonstrate the existence of stable optical light bullets in nonlinear dissipative media for both cases of normal and anomalous chromatic dispersion. The prediction is based on direct numerical simulations of the (3+1)-dimensional complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation. We do not impose conditions of spherical or cylindrical symmetry. Regions of existence of stable bullets are determ...
متن کاملBifurcations from stationary to pulsating solitons in the cubic–quintic complex Ginzburg–Landau equation
Stationary to pulsating soliton bifurcation analysis of the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation (CGLE) is presented. The analysis is based on a reduction from an infinite-dimensional dynamical dissipative system to a finite-dimensional model. Stationary solitons, with constant amplitude and width, are associated with fixed points in the model. For the first time, pulsating solitons are shown to be...
