Optical spatial solitons: historical overview and recent advances

Z Chen, M Segev… - Reports on Progress in …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Solitons, nonlinear self-trapped wavepackets, have been extensively studied in many and
diverse branches of physics such as optics, plasmas, condensed matter physics, fluid …

Discrete solitons in optics

F Lederer, GI Stegeman, DN Christodoulides… - Physics Reports, 2008 - Elsevier
We provide an overview of recent experimental and theoretical developments in the area of
optical discrete solitons. By nature, discrete solitons represent self-trapped wavepackets in …

Photovoltaic spatial solitons

M Segev, GC Valley, MC Bashaw, M Taya, MM Fejer - JOSA B, 1997 - opg.optica.org
We analyze self-trapping of one-dimensional optical beams in photorefractive, photovoltaic
media for open-and closed-circuit realizations. We show that a passive load (resistor) in the …

Coupled photorefractive spatial-soliton pairs

Z Chen, M Segev, TH Coskun, DN Christodoulides… - JOSA B, 1997 - opg.optica.org
We provide a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of incoherently coupled
photorefractive spatial-soliton pairs in all three possible realizations: bright–bright, dark …

Optical spatial solitons: historical perspectives

GIA Stegeman, DN Christodoulides… - IEEE Journal of …, 2000 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Optical spatial solitons are self-trapped optical beams that exist by virtue of the balance
between diffraction and nonlinearity. They propagate and interact with one another while …

Observation of multihump multimode solitons

M Mitchell, M Segev, DN Christodoulides - Physical review letters, 1998 - APS
We present the first experimental observation of multihump multimode solitons in nature. In a
broader perspective, this is the first observation of a multihumped multimode self-trapped …

Incoherent collisions between two-dimensional bright steady-state photorefractive spatial screening solitons

M Shih, M Segev - Optics letters, 1996 - opg.optica.org
We report the observation of incoherent collisions between two-dimensional bright
photorefractive screening solitons. The solitons remain intact and do not exchange energy …

Optical spatial solitons

M Segev - Optical and Quantum Electronics, 1998 - Springer
It is almost common knowledge now that particles also possess properties of waves. But,
can localized wave-packets behave and interact like particles? This article is dedicated to …
