Optical solitons: Perspectives and applications

Chaos, 2000
This 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.

Attraction of nonlocal dark optical solitons [PDF]

open access: yesOptics Letters, 2004
We study the formation and interaction of spatial dark optical solitons in materials with a nonlocal nonlinear response. We show that unlike in local materials, where dark solitons typically repel, the nonlocal nonlinearity leads to a long-range ...

Squeezed optical solitons

Physical Review Letters, 1991
We have experimentally demonstrated the squeezing of optical solitons, resulting in a detected photocurrent noise power (32\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}3)% (1.7 dB) below the shot-noise limit over a broadband of frequencies. The squeezing is accomplished using the Kerr nonlinearity of a polarization-preserving single-mode optical fiber at liquid ...

Discrete solitons in optics

Physics Reports, 2008
Abstract 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 nonlinear periodic structures and result from the interplay between lattice diffraction (or dispersion) and material nonlinearity.

Dissipative optical solitons

Physical Review A, 1994
It is found that dissipative types of stable soliton structures can exist in nonlinear optical media with broadband gain and group-velocity dispersion (GVD). These structures resemble ionization or combustion waves and are essentially self-accelerating pulses with a stationary-envelope form and a permanently shifting wave spectrum.
