Abstract
An analysis of clusters of weakly coupled two-dimensional spatial optical solitons in a large-aperture class A laser with a saturable absorber is developed. The symmetries that control the transverse motion of the clusters are described. Numerical solutions of the governing generalized complex Ginzburg-Landau equation demonstrate the existence of four types of clusters of weakly coupled cavity solitons that correspond to symmetries of transverse intensity distributions and energy flows: (1) stationary (with two mirror symmetry axes), (2) rotating about a stationary center of mass (invariant under rotation), (3) translating without rotation (with a single mirror symmetry axis), and (4) asymmetric ones rotating about a center of mass that moves around a circle (with equal periods of rotation and circular motion).

Spatial solitons supported by localized gain in nonlinear optical waveguides

TL;DR: In this article, a modification of the complex Ginzburg-landau (CGL) equation with background linear loss and locally applied gain is introduced, and a solution for pinned solitons is found in an analytical form, with one relation imposed on parameters of the model.

Fusion of necklace-ring patterns into vortex and fundamental solitons in dissipative media.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that necklace-shaped arrays of localized spatial beams can merge into stable fundamental or vortex solitons in a generic model of laser cavities, based on the two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with the cubic-quintic nonlinearity.

Motion of complexes of 3D-laser solitons

TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of stable solid-like 3D-dissipative soliton complexes with weak in-phase and antiphase coupling was revealed, whose 3D orientation and motion depend on the ratio of coefficients of spatial and spectral filtering and on the symmetry of distributions of intensity and energy flows in complexes.
