Gray spatial solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media
arXiv:physics/0701262 · doi:10.1364/OL.32.000946
Abstract
We study gray solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media and show that they are stable and can form bound states. We reveal that gray soliton velocity depends on the nonlocality degree, and that it can be drastically reduced in highly nonlocal media. This is in contrast to the case of local media, where the maximal velocity is dictated solely by the asymptotic soliton amplitude.
