Direct measurement of the transverse velocity of dark spatial solitons.

چکیده
We describe the direct experimental measurement of the transverse propagation velocities of dark spatial solitons. Good agreement is obtained from a comparison of the velocities measured experimentally and the velocities predicted by the two-dimensional theory of Zakharov and Shabat [Sov. Phys. JETP 37, 823 (1973)].

Spatial 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 کاملGeneration and evolution of quadratic dark spatial solitons using the wavefront modulation method.
We study the evolution of dark spatial solitons by chi((2)): chi((2)) cascaded nonlinearity. The generation and evolution of solitons pairs by the optical branching effect is investigated. It is shown that the number of solitons pairs and the transverse velocity of a given pair depend on the parameters of the input beam. We also investigate the hollows generated in a beam with a uniform backgro...
متن کاملSuppression of transverse instabilities for vector solitons.
We analyze the transverse instability of two-component spatial solitons in a saturable nonlinear medium, in relation to recent experimental observations of spatial vector solitons in photorefractive media. We present the stability analysis for all three realizations: dark-bright, bright-bright, and dark-dark soliton pairs, and demonstrate that both the nonlinearity saturation and incoherent mod...
متن کاملControllable branching of optical beams by quasi-two-dimensional dark spatial solitons
A variable number of quasi-two-dimensional dark spatial solitons of adjustable transverse velocities could be generated by a proper choice of the initial phase profile (odd or even) and the width of the crossed dark stripes and the background-beam intensity. The possibility of branching a single input probe beam into ordered structures of subbeams is demonstrated numerically in a bulk self-indu...
متن کاملDynamics of Dark Solitons
-Spatial dark solitons are known to be stable nonlinear localized waves in self-defocusing media. We demonstrate how to analyse the dynamics of dark solitons in the presence of small perturbations, and we consider the effect of two-photon absorption on dark solitons as a particular example. We also predict a new type of dark solitons of circular symmetry, ring dark solitons, which are stable ag...
