Dipole-Mode Vector Solitons
Juan J. Garcia-Ripoll, Victor M. Perez-Garcia, Elena A. Ostrovskaya +1
We find a new type of optical vector soliton that originates from trapping of a dipole mode by a soliton-induced waveguide. These solitons, which appear as a consequence of the vec…
Origin of Multikinks in Dispersive Nonlinear Systems
Alan Champneys, Yuri S. Kivshar
We develop {\em the first analytical theory of multikinks} for strongly {\em dispersive nonlinear systems}, considering the examples of the weakly discrete sine-Gordon model and th…
Spatial Optical Solitons due to Multistep Cascading
Yuri S. Kivshar, Tristram J. Alexander, Solomon Saltiel
We introduce a novel class of parametric optical solitons supported simultaneously by two second-order nonlinear cascading processes, second-harmonic generation and sum-frequency m…
Optical Vortex Solitons in Parametric Wave Mixing
Tristram J. Alexander, Yuri S. Kivshar, Alexander V. Buryak +1
We analyze two-component spatial optical vortex solitons supported by parametric wave mixing processes in a nonlinear bulk medium. We study two distinct cases of such localised wav…
Optical Gap Solitons in Nonresonant Quadratic Media
Takeshi Iizuka, Yuri Kivshar
We demonstrate an important role of the process of optical rectification in the theory of nonlinear wave propagation in quadratically nonlinear [or ] periodic optical med…
