Published: March 2006

We study discrete vector solitons and vortices in two-dimensional photonic lattices with Kerr nonlinearity and demonstrate novel types of stable, incoherently coupled dipoles and vortex-soliton complexes that can be excited by Gaussian beams. We also discuss what we believe to be novel scenarios of the charge-flipping instability of incoherently coupled discrete vortices.

As a member of the chalcogenide family, NiSe exhibits a direct bandgap of 1.74 eV, making it a promising candidate for nonlinear optical devices. However, its potential in the near-infrared region of the telecommunication band has not been fully explored.

This paper investigates the geometric and structural properties of almost plastic pseudo-Riemannian manifolds, with a specific focus on three-dimensional cases. We explore the interplay between an almost plastic structure and a pseudo-Riemannian metric, providing a comprehensive analysis of the conditions that define pure metric plastic -Kählerian manifolds. In this context, the fundamental tensor field is symmetric and also represents another pure metric.

Soliton molecules, or also known as optical bound states, are the most representative example of solitons' particle nature and have given birth to diverse light-matter analogies. Despite detailed research on regular bound states, the soliton molecule synthesis of dissimilar pulses has rarely been reported. Here, soliton molecules formed by dissimilar dissipative solitons are demonstrated in a single-mode mode-locked fiber laser, with an in-depth analysis of their evolution dynamics.

Article Synopsis
  • * Analysis of these solutions revealed that moving beating solitons exhibit asymmetric spectra, while static ones show symmetry regarding frequency change.
  • * We explored second-order vector beating soliton solutions with varying velocities, and numerical simulations supported our findings.

The generation of tailored supercontinua is essential for studying ultrafast light-matter interactions and for a variety of practical applications requiring broadband light. Liquid-core fibers (LCFs) have emerged as an innovative nonlinear photonic platform, demonstrating high efficiency in nonlinear frequency conversion. In this study, we showcase that LCFs provide a stable platform for ultrafast supercontinuum generation in a selected higher-order vector mode at .
