Journal ArticleDOI
Discrete solitons in photorefractive optically induced photonic lattices
Nikos K. Efremidis,Suzanne Sears,Demetrios N. Christodoulides,Jason W. Fleischer,Jason W. Fleischer,Mordechai Segev,Mordechai Segev +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that optical discrete solitons are possible in appropriately oriented biased photorefractive crystals in optically induced periodic waveguide lattices that are created via plane-wave interference and paves the way towards the observation of entirely new families of discretesolitons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Trapping of ``Necklace'' Beams in Self-Focusing Kerr Media
TL;DR: In this paper, an azimuthally periodically modulated bright ring ''necklace'' beam can self-trap in self-focusing Kerr media and can exhibit stable propagation for very large distances.
Journal ArticleDOI
(1+1)-Dimensional modulation instability of spatially incoherent light
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive study of the one-dimensional modulation instability of partially spatially incoherent light in non-instantaneous self-focusing media is presented, where it is shown that the nonlinearity has to exceed a specific threshold that depends on the coherence properties of the beam.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collisions of two solitons in an arbitrary number of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations.
Marin Soljacic,Kenneth Steiglitz,Suzanne Sears,Mordechai Segev,Mariusz H. Jakubowski,Richard K. Squier +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that pairwise soliton collisions in N>2 intensity-coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations can be reduced to pairwise Solon collisions in two coupled equations, which greatly simplifies the analysis of such systems and has important implications for the application of soliton collision analysis to all-optical computing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cantor set fractals from solitons
TL;DR: This work uses numerical simulations to demonstrate the formation of Cantor set fractals by temporal optical solitons through the dynamical evolution from a single input soliton.
