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 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 …

The current research into solitons and their use in fiber optic communications is very
important to the future of communications. Since the advent of computer networking and …

The latest edition of the leading resource on the properties and applications of liquid crystals
In the newly revised Third Edition of Liquid Crystals, Professor Iam Choon Khoo delivers a …

Spatial solitons, beams that do not spread owing to diffraction when they propagate, have
been demonstrated to exist by virtue of a variety of nonlinear self-trapping mechanisms …

In the fiber communication domain, people are facing the challenges due to the rapidly
growing requirement on the capacity from new functions and services. Multi-hump solitons …

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 …

In 438 alphabetically-arranged essays, this work provides a useful overview of the core
mathematical background for nonlinear science, as well as its applications to key problems …

We establish some general theorems for the existence and nonexistence of ground state
solutions of steady-state N coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations. The sign of coupling …

In this paper we consider systems of coupled Schrödinger equations which appear in
nonlinear optics. The problem has been considered mostly in the one-dimensional case …
