We present a survey of some recent theoretical and experimental studies on nonlinear
waves that form and propagate in a broad class of optical and matterwave media. The article …

We perform a survey of some recent theoretical and experimental studies on
multidimensional (two-and three-dimensional) localized structures in optical and matter …

A survey of some recent theoretical and experimental studies on localized structures that
form and propagate in a broad class of optical and matter-wave media is presented. The …

Solitons, nonlinear self-trapped wavepackets, have been extensively studied in many and
diverse branches of physics such as optics, plasmas, condensed matter physics, fluid …

We present a detailed overview of the physics and applications of optical dark solitons:
localized nonlinear waves (orholes') existing on a stable continuous wave (or extended finite …

In the course of the past several years, a new level of understanding has been achieved
about conditions for the existence, stability, and generation of spatiotemporal optical …

The fundamental concept of colored nonautonomous solitons in nonlinear and dispersive
nonautonomous physical systems is introduced. Novel soliton solutions for the …

Mode-locked lasers are prone to exhibit a wide range of dynamics, many of them analyzed
within the concept of dissipative solitons. However, ultrafast laser dynamics goes beyond the …

It is demonstrated that optical solitons can propagate in a dispersive (or diffractive) medium
with competing quadratic [ie, χ^(2)] and cubic [ie, χ^(3)] nonlinearities. Strong interplay …

We investigate the possibility of forming spatiotemporal solitons (optical bullets) in
inhomogeneous, dispersive nonlinear media using a graded-index Kerr medium as an …
