Linear and nonlinear waveguides induced by optical vortex solitons

Abstract

We study, numerically and analytically, linear and nonlinear waveguides induced by optical vortex solitons in a Kerr medium. Both fundamental and first-order guided modes are analyzed, as well as the cases of effectively defocusing and focusing nonlinearity.
