We demonstrate experimentally the transport of information from one vector (Manakov-like) spatial soliton to another via collisions with a third, intermediate soliton.

This paper suggests a method to create dark soliton-like waves in a trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). With the phase imprinting method, a soliton-like disturbance is produced along the x-axis. The method is used in two cases (with and without rotation of a trapping potential). The disturbance in a two-dimensional (2D) system is unstable. The soliton-like perturbation is found to de...

We investigate soliton collisions in the Manakov model which is a system of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations integrable via the inverse scattering method. Computing the asymptotic forms of the general N -soliton solution as t → ∓∞, we elucidate a mechanism which factorizes an N -soliton collision into nonlinear superposition of ( N 2 ) pair collisions in arbitrary order. This removes the...

We consider world-volume description of M2-branes ending on an M5-brane. The system can be described either as a solitonic solution of the M5-brane field equations or in terms of an effective string propagating in 6-dimensions. We show that the zeroth order scalar scattering amplitudes behave similarly in both pictures. The soliton solution appears to have a horizon-like throat region. Due to t...

We study the maximum wave amplitude produced by line-soliton interactions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili II (KPII) equation, and we discuss a mechanism of generation of large amplitude shallow water waves by multi-soliton interactions of KPII. We also describe a method to predict the possible maximum wave amplitude from asymptotic data. Finally, we report on numerical simulations of multi-solito...

We theoretically and experimentally studied the dispersion effects in an actively mode-locked inhomogeneously broadened laser. In the positive group velocity dispersion (GVD) region, the laser generates incoherent pulses. Self-phase modulation and resonant dispersion impede reduction of the pulse duration when the GVD is small or near zero. A single, stable, soliton-like pulse can be generated ...

We present an effective circuit model of a chain of mesoscopic tunnel junctions. We show that the system possesses a soliton solution. The propagation of the soliton corresponds to the tunneling of a single charge along the system. We study the properties of this charged soliton and calculate the resulting 1-V characteristics. We discuss possible experimental realizations of the model and its r...

We describe the breathing dynamics of the self-similar core and the oscillating tails of a dispersion-managed (DM) soliton. The path-averaged propagation equation governing the shape of the DM soliton in an arbitrary dispersion map is derived. The developed theory correctly predicts the locations of the dips in the tails of the DM soliton. A general solution of the propagation equation is prese...

We study the conditions for soliton-like wave propagation in the Photorefractive (PR) and electro-optic (i.e., Pockels) material, by using Nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation. The complete NLS equation is solved analytically and numerically by transforming it into the phase space. Our results clearly show the existence of both the dark and bright solitary solutions for the PR medium. Interesti...
