We provide a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of incoherently coupled photorefractive spatial-soliton pairs in all three possible realizations: bright–bright, dark–dark, and dark–bright. We also show that when the total intensity of two coupled solitons is much lower than the effective dark irradiance, the coupled soliton pair is reduced to Manakov solitons. In all cases, mutual trapping of both components in the coupled soliton pair is verified by analyzing, experimentally and numerically, the beam evolution after decoupling.read more

Optical solitons in graded-index multimode fibres
TL;DR: The observation of optical solitons and soliton self-frequency shifting in graded-index multimode fibre should enable increased data rates in low-cost telecommunications systems, are pertinent to space-division multiplexing, and can offer a new route to mode-area scaling for high-power lasers and transmission.

Versatile rogue waves in scalar, vector, and multidimensional nonlinear systems
TL;DR: This dissertation aims to provide a history of web exceptionalism from 1989 to 2002, a period chosen in order to explore its roots as well as specific cases up to and including the year in which descriptions of “Web 2.0” began to circulate.

Solitons in coupled nonlinear Schrödinger models: A survey of recent developments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the recent literature on multi-component nonlinear Schrodinger models and the localized structures that they support, focusing on some prototypical structures, namely the dark-bright and dark-dark solitons.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the properties of waveguides induced by one-dimensional steady-state photorefractive screening solitons and show that the number of possible guided modes in a waveguide induced by a bright soliton depends on the intensity ratio of the soliton, which is the ratio between the solitus peak intensity and the sum of the background illumination and the dark irradiance.

Vector rogue waves in the Manakov system: diversity and compossibility
Shihua Chen,Dumitru Mihalache +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a hierarchy of rogue wave solutions to the focusing vector nonlinear Schrodinger equations (Manakov system) up to the second order is presented, and a nonrecursive Darboux transformation formalism is employed to obtain a hierarchy.

Spatial solitons in photorefractive media.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that photorefractive media can support a new type of spatial soliton, in which the diffraction is balanced by the self-scattering (two-wave mixing) of the beam spatial frequency components.

Steady-state spatial screening solitons in photorefractive materials with external applied field.
TL;DR: Steady-state planar spatial solitons are predicted for photorefractive materials when the diffraction of an optical beam is exactly compensated by nonlinear self-defocusing as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a new type of spatial soliton has been predicted to be observable in a photorefractive crystal, where the interference between the beam's spatial-frequency components can be considered to write photore-fractive gratings on the crystal.
