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 …

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 …

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 …

Abstract In 1974 Ablowitz, Kaup, Newell, Segur (AKNS) put forward a theoretical framework
whereby one can construct evolution equations that are (i) integrable in the sense of …

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 …

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 are self-trapped optical beams that exist by virtue of the balance
between diffraction and nonlinearity. They propagate and interact with one another while …

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 …

Motivated by recent experimental results, we present a systematic theoretical analysis of
dark-bright-soliton interactions and multiple-dark-bright-soliton complexes in atomic two …
