Bistable spheroidal optical solitons
Physical Review A, 1992The possible forms the intensity dependence of the nonlinear refractive index would have to take for bistable light bullets to exist are examined. Bistable light bullets are propagating spheroidal optical solitons characterized by different sizes and intensity profiles but with the same energy.

Optical solitons: Perspectives and applications
Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2000This article serves as an introduction to the focus issue on optical solitons. After a short review of the history of solitons and the field of integrable systems, a brief overview of the development of nonlinear optics and optical solitons is provided.

Dissipative solitons for real world optical solitons
2007 Asia Optical Fiber Communication and Optoelectronics Conference, 2007Efficient use of nonlinear dissipation enables the formation of robust optical pulses, with unique soliton properties. This way, exceptional stability of mode-locked lasers, formation of "soliton molecules", and optical regeneration schemes can be better understood.

This book describes both the theoretical and experimental aspects of optical soliton generation, soliton properties and the application of optical solitons to all-optical high-bit-rate communications. Only temporal optical solitons in fibres are considered.

Perturbations of optical solitons
Physical Review A, 1993A perturbation theory is developed to investigate the effects of various perturbations on soliton propagation down an optical fiber. The theory is formulated within the «natural» framework of inverse scattering theory. The perturbative effects of third-order dispersion, the soliton self-frequency shift, bandwidth-limited gain, periodic modulation, and ...

We review the progress made on spatial solitons with an emphasis on photorefractive solitons and their interactions. We then discuss the possibility to utilize photorefractive solitons for applications in optical interconnects, waveguide devices such as directional couplers, and high-efficiency nonlinear frequency conversion.

Perturbations of Optical Solitons and Quasi-Solitons
Journal of Electromagnetic Waves and Applications, 2000Summary: The multiple-scale perturbation method is developed in a new way to study the propagation of pulses through an optical fiber described by a perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We show that, by introducing a new proper definition of the phase of the soliton, one can obtain the corrections to the pulse where the usual soliton perturbation ...

SOLITON–SOLITON INTERACTION IN OPTICAL FIBERS
Journal of Nonlinear Optical Physics & Materials, 1999In an optical communication system it is necessary to place the solitons close to one another to increase the information carrying capacity of the fiber. The theory of soliton–soliton interaction in a fiber optic communication system, through a single channel, is studied in this paper. In presence of the perturbation terms, the two soliton interaction

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 self-trapped optical beams: how they form and how they interact with each other, showing that their particle-like behaviour is a general feature that manifests itself in many

In the preceding chapter it was shown that, under ideal conditions, a light wave in a dielectric material would form an envelope soliton. However, in a real three-dimensional fiber, the light wave propagates with finite loss. In this chapter, we discuss the practical conditions needed for an optical pulse to become a soliton in a dielectric waveguide.
