The nonlinear propagation of coherent optical fields has been extensively explored in the
framework of nonlinear optics, while the linear propagation of incoherent fields has been …

We review the recent developments of spatial optical solitons in nematic liquid crystals, also
known as Nematicons. We outline their properties, linked to a reorientational nonlinearity in …

This work focuses on chirped solitons in a higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation,
including cubic-quintic-septic nonlinearity, weak nonlocal nonlinearity, self-frequency shift …

Despite remarkable developments in the field, a detailed treatment of non-Kerr law media
has not been published. Introduction to non-Kerr Law Optical Solitons is the first book …

We present an overview of recent advances in the understanding of optical beams in
nonlinear media with a spatially nonlocal nonlinear response. We discuss the impact of …

We present an analytical theory for the nonlinear optical response of a strongly interacting
Rydberg gas under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency. Simple …

We introduce novel classes of higher-order spatial optical solitons in analogy with Laguerre-
Gaussian and Hermite-Gaussian linear eigenmodes. We reveal that stable higher-order …

The modulational instability (MI) phenomenon is addressed in a nonlocal medium under
controllable saturation. The linear stability analysis of a plane-wave solution is used to …

We demonstrate a dramatic change in the interaction forces between dark solitons in
nonlocal nonlinear media. We present what we believe is the first experimental evidence of …

We introduce a class of spiraling anomalous vortex beam (AVB) arrays in strongly nonlocal
nonlinear media. The general analytical formula for the arrays is derived, and its …
