Three-dimensional dissipative optical solitons

A brief overview of recent theoretical results in the area of three-dimensional dissipative optical solitons is given. A systematic analysis demonstrates the existence and stability of both fundamental (spinless) and spinning three-dimensional dissipative solitons in both normal and anomalous group-velocity regimes. Direct numerical simulations of the evolution of stationary solitons of the three-dimensional cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation show full agreement with the predictions based on computation of the instability eigenvalues from the linearized equations for small perturbations. It is shown that the diffusivity in the transverse plane is necessary for the stability of vortex solitons against azimuthal perturbations, while fundamental (zero-vorticity) solitons may be stable in the absence of diffusivity. It has also been found that, at values of the nonlinear gain above the upper border of the soliton existence domain, the three-dimensional dissipative solitons either develop intrinsic pulsations or start to expand in the temporal (longitudinal) direction keeping their structure in the transverse spatial plane.

背景光光伏效应对屏蔽-光伏空间孤子的影响

在光伏晶体两端外加一恒定的直流偏压，背景光的光伏效应对形成屏蔽-光伏孤子的空间电荷场没有影响，但对晶体中的电流有影响.如果外电源的电动势是恒定的，则背景光的光伏效应与外电路的电阻协同起作用，可以通过晶体两端的电压降影响晶体中的空间电荷场，进而影响空间孤子的宽度.在一定的条件下甚至可以实现亮、暗孤子的转换. 关键词： 屏蔽-光伏 空间孤子 孤子宽度 亮暗孤子转换     

基于光折变双光束耦合的刚性全息明孤子的温度依赖特性研究

研究了基于双光束耦合的光折变耗散系统中全息明孤子的温度演化特性.数值计算结果表明，晶体温度与刚性全息孤子的稳定性密切相关.在一定温度下，全息孤子能在晶体中传播足够远的距离；当晶体温度漂移不大时，入射孤子能演化成稳定的全息孤子继续传播；而当晶体温度变化足够大时，孤子波强度随传播距离增加或减小，入射孤子不能以稳定的全息孤子态传播.讨论了将刚性全息孤子的温度特性应用于光学衰减、中继器件的可能性. 关键词： 空间光孤子 光折变非线性光学 耗散系统 全息聚焦     

Manakov solitons in biased photorefractive polymer

The coupled equations for the incoherently coupled soliton pairs in biased photorefractive polymer are provided. It is shown that the coupled soliton equations reduce to Manakov equations when the total intensity of two coupled solitons is much lower than the background illumination. The bright-bright, dark-dark, and grey-grey soliton pair solutions of these Manakov equations are obtained, and the characteristics of these Manakov solitons are also discussed.     

有耗孤子的最小作用量原理及其在二维光子带隙结构中的应用

采用变分方法对于二维矩形光子带隙结构中X点孤子的耗散以及相干作用进行了动力学分析.通过对由作用量原理得到的孤子参量联立方程组的分析可知，除了耗散作用导致孤子的幅度衰减，并引起孤子横向的展宽以外，同向孤子的相互作用负势函数为耗散作用所减弱，从而使得孤子在x方向的束缚态被削弱.孤子中心间距随x的增加呈现出增幅变化且波动周期增大，当纵向距离增大到一定值后，孤子中心间距将一直增大下去.

Dust ion‐acoustic solitons with trapped q‐non‐extensive electrons,dissipative processes,and streaming ions

The characteristics of dust ion‐acoustic waves (DIAWs) that are excited because of streaming ions and hot q‐non‐extensive electrons obeying a vortex‐like distribution are investigated. By exploiting a pseudo‐potential technique, we have derived an energy integral equation. The presence of non‐extensive q‐distributed hot trapped electrons and a streaming ion beam has been shown to influence soliton structure quite significantly. The evolution of the soliton‐like perturbations in complex plasmas, taking into account the dissipation processes, are also investigated, obtained by numerically solving the modified Schamel, equation whose widths are dependant on electron trapping efficiency β. Our illustrations indicate that compressive DIAWs develop in this plasma. As the plasmas in reality have a relative flow, such an analysis can be used to understand the DIA solitary structures observed in the mesospheric noctilucent clouds.     

匹配高斯光束在耗散晶体中的孤波演化及偏转特性

研究了匹配的高斯光束在加外电场的耗散型光伏光折变晶体中的动态演化及其偏转特性.结果表明，对于给定的耗散系统，若该系统能支持某一特定的耗散全息屏蔽光伏明孤子，也可能找到与之相匹配的高斯光束，则该匹配的高斯光束能在此给定的耗散系统中演化成稳定的屏蔽光伏空间孤子.同时，考察了扩散效应对此匹配的高斯光束的影响，结果显示，扩散效应将造成此匹配的高斯光束孤波在演化过程中产生偏转现象，而且其偏转过程与之相对应的明孤子的偏转过程具有极其类似的特征.通过比较研究匹配的高斯光束与耗散全息屏蔽光伏明孤子的偏转特征曲线，我们发现，对于匹配的高斯光束，其空间偏转的数值计算结果与明孤子偏转的解析计算结果非常接近.总之，在耗散系统中，匹配的高斯孤波的动态演化特性(包括偏转过程)与耗散全息屏蔽光伏明孤波的演化特性是相符合的.因此，人们往往可直接用匹配的基模高斯光束代替耗散全息屏蔽光伏明孤波，为理论分析和实验研究提供了便利.     

Steady-state bright-dark vector spatial solitons in biased two-photon photorefractive crystals

We show that bright-dark vector solitons are possible in biased two-photon photorefractive crystals under steady-state conditions. The analytical solutions of these vector solitons can be obtained if the intensities of the two vector components are approximately equal. When the intensities of the two vector components differ, the vector soliton pair solutions can be determined using simple numerical integration procedures. The stability of the bright-dark vector solitons has been investigated numerically.

Quasistable bright dissipative holographic solitons in photorefractive two-wave mixing system

The dynamical evolution of both signal and pump beams are traced by numerically solving the coupled-wave equation for a photorefractive two-wave mixing system. The direct simulations show that, when the intensity ratio of the pump beam to the signal beam is large enough, the pump beam presents a common decaying behaviour without modulational instability (MI), while the signal beam can evolve into a quasistable spatial soliton within a regime in which the pump beam is depleted slightly. The larger the ratio is, the longer the regime is. Such quasistable solitons can overcome the initial perturbations and numerical noises in the course of propagation, perform several cycles of slow oscillation in intensity and width, and persist over tens of diffraction lengths. From physical viewpoints, these solitons actually exist as completely rigorous physical objects. If the ratio is quite small, the pump beam is apt to show MI, during which the signal beam experiences strong expansion and shrinking in width and a drastic oscillation in intensity, or completely breaks up. The simulations using actual experimental parameters demonstrate that the observation of an effectively stable soliton is quite possible in the proposed system.     

Bright-dark self-coupled vector spatial solitons in biased two-photon photovoltaic photorefractive crystals

This paper predicts that bright-dark self-coupled vector solitons are possible in biased two-photon photovoltaic photorefractive crystals under steady-state conditions. The solutions of these vector solitons can be determined by use of simple numerical integration procedures. When the photovoltaic effect is neglectable, these vector solitons are bright-dark vector screening solitons. When the external bias field is absent, these vector solitons degenerate the bright-dark vector photovoltaic solitons.     

Properties of pulsating solitons in dissipative systems

<正>In this paper,a set of detailed numerical simulations of pulsating solitons in certain regions,where the pulsating solitons exist,have been carried out.The results show that the transformation between pulsating soliton and fronts can be realized through a series of period-doubling bifurcations,while there exist many kinds of special solutions.The complete transformation diagram has been obtained when the value of nonlinear gain varies within a definite range.The detailed analysis of the diagram reveals that the pulsating soliton experiences period-doubling bifurcations for smaller values of the nonlinear gain.For larger values of it,the pulsating solitons show chaotic behaviour and complex pulse splitting except for some special bifurcations.With the value of nonlinear gain increasing further,the pulse profiles resume pulsating,but the pulse energy is much higher than before and the pulse centre may move along the propagation direction.     

Diffusion-induced deflection and the effect of two-wave mixing gain on dissipative photovoltaic solitons

In an open-circuit dissipative photovoltaic (PV) crystal, by considering the diffusion effect, the deflection of bright dissipative photovoltaic (DPV) solitons has been investigated by employing numerical technique and perturbational procedure. The relevant results show that the centre of the optical beam moves along a parabolic trajectory, while the central spatial-frequency component shifts linearly with the propagation distance; furthermore, both the spatial deflection and the angular derivation are associated with the photovoltaic field. Such DPV solitons have a fixed deflection degree completely determined by the parameters of the dissipative system. The small bending cannot affect the formation of the DPV soliton via two-wave mixing.

The dynamical feature of transition of a Hamiltonian system to a dissipative system

The mechanism of generation and annihilation of attractors during transition from a Hamiltonian system to a dissipative system is studied numerically using the dissipative standard map. The transient process related to the formation of attracting basins of periodic attractors is studied by discussing the evolution of the KAM tori of the standard map. The result shows that as damping increases, attractors are mainly generated from elliptic orbits of the Hamiltonian system and annihilated by colliding with unstable periodic orbits originating from the corresponding hyperbolic orbits of the Hamiltonian system. The transient process also exhibits the general feature of bifurcation.     

Coherent interactions of multi bright spatial solitons in biased photorefractive crystals

The coherent interaction scenarios of two solitons, three solitons, and four solitons are presented. For two-soliton interactions, energy transfer and fusion between solitons are dependent on the relative phase of the interaction solitons, and for multi-soliton interactions, energy transfer will occur in all three relative phase conditions. The magnitude and direction of energy transfer can be controlled respectively by adjusting the interval and the relative phase of solitons.
