The Dynamics of the Transverse Optical Flux in Random Media

Yuchen Ke, Nandini Bhattacharya, Fabian Maucher

We study the evolution of the kinetic energy (or gradient norm) of an incident linearly polarized monochromatic wave propagating in correlated random media. We explore the optical…

Creating Complex Optical Longitudinal Polarization Structures

F. Maucher, S. Skupin, S. A. Gardiner +1

In this paper we show that it is possible to structure the longitudinal polarization component of light. We illustrate our approach by demonstrating linked and knotted longitudinal…

Excitation of knotted vortex lines in matter waves

F. Maucher, S. A. Gardiner, I. G. Hughes

We study the creation of knotted ultracold matter waves in Bose-Einstein condensates via coherent two-photon Raman transitions with a level configuration. The Raman transition…

Self-organization of light in optical media with competing nonlinearities

F. Maucher, T. Pohl, S. Skupin +1

We study the propagation of light beams through optical media with competing nonlocal nonlinearities. We demonstrate that the nonlocality of competing focusing and defocusing nonli…

Collapse in the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation

F. Maucher, W. Krolikowski, S. Skupin

We discuss spatial dynamics and collapse scenarios of localized waves governed by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with nonlocal nonlinearity. Firstly, we prove that for arbitrar…

Rotating three-dimensional solitons in Bose Einstein condensates with gravity-like attractive nonlocal interaction

F. Maucher, S. Skupin, M. Sheng +1

We study formation of rotating three-dimensional high-order solitons (azimuthons) in Bose Einstein condensate with attractive nonlocal nonlinear interaction. In particular, we demo…
