Hamiltonian and phase-space representation of spatial solitons
2014
Optics Communications
We use Hamiltonian ray tracing and phase-space representation to describe the propagation of a single spatial soliton and soliton collisions in a Kerr nonlinear medium. ...
Hamiltonian ray tracing is applied using the iterative nonlinear beam propagation method, which allows taking both wave effects and Kerr nonlinearity into consideration. ...
In a Kerr nonlinear medium, the refractive index changes proportional to the intensity distribution; thus the index profile for the spatial soliton is n(x, z) = n 0 + n 2 A 2 0 sech 2 (x/w 0 ), (3) where ...

Asymmetric partially coherent solitons in saturable nonlinear media
1999
Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics
We investigate theoretically properties of partially coherent solitons in optical nonlinear media with slow saturable nonlinearity. ...
We have found numerically that such a medium can support spatial solitons which are asymmetric in shape and are composed of only a finite number of modes associated with the self-induced waveguide. ...

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics
Optical spatial solitons are self-trapped optical beams that exist by virtue of the balance between diffraction and nonlinearity. ...
