The solitons in Bessel lattice potential with nonlocal nonlinearity

The existence and stability of fundamental and multipole solitons in Bessel potential are studied, including linear case, and nonlocal nonlinearity cases. For linear case, the eigenvalues and eigenfunction for different modulated depths of Bessel potential are obtained numerically. For nonlocal nonlinear cases, the existence and stability of fundamental and multipole solitons are studied. The results show that there exists a critical propagation constant b _c of solitons, below which the solitons vanish. The value of b _c is associated with the eigenvalue for linear case. It is found that nonlocality can expand the stability region of solitons. Fundamental and dipole solitons are stable in the whole region and the stable range of multipole solitons increase with increasing of the nonlocal degree.     

Lattice-supported surface solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media

We reveal that lattice interfaces imprinted in nonlocal nonlinear media support surface solitons that do not exist in other similar settings, including interfaces of local and nonlocal uniform materials. We show the impact of nonlocality on the domains of existence and stability of the surface solitons, focusing on new types of dipole solitons residing partially inside the optical lattice. We find that such solitons feature strongly asymmetric shapes and that they are stable in large parts of their existence domain.     

Incoherently coupled vector dipole soliton pairs in nonlocal media

We investigate the incoherently and strongly coupled Manakov vector dipole soliton pairs in nonlocal nonlinear media. We use variational approach, to describe analytical properties of these solutions in a strongly nonlocal regime. We show that the presence of fundamental component improve stability of the dipole nonlocal soliton. In the limit of highly nonlocal nonlinearity, the evolution behaviors of the vector solitons is determined by their total power.

Stable high-dimensional solitons in nonlocal competing cubic-quintic nonlinear media

We find and stabilize high-dimensional dipole and quadrupole solitons in nonlocal competing cubic-quintic nonlinear media. By adjusting the propagation constant, cubic, and quintic nonlinear coefficients, the stable intervals for dipole and quadrupole solitons that are parallel to the x-axis and those after rotating 45° counterclockwise around the origin of coordinate are found. For the dipole solitons and those after rotation, their stability is controlled by the propagation constant, the coefficients of cubic and quintic nonlinearity. The stability of quadrupole solitons is controlled by the propagation constant and the coefficient of cubic nonlinearity, rather than the coefficient of quintic nonlinearity, though there is a small effect of the quintic nonlinear coefficient on the stability. Our proposal may provide a way to generate and stabilize some novel high-dimensional nonlinear modes in a nonlocal system.     

局域单PT对称势中多级孤子的传输特性研究

具有Parity-Time(PT)对称性的光学系统是近年提出的一种新型光学结构,在光开关、光子信息处理器件等方面具有潜在的应用。研究了局域单PT对称光学系统中双级孤子和三级孤子的存在范围与稳定特性。研究结果表明:多级孤子存在一临界传播常数,传播常数对应了线性模下的本征值。双级孤子和三级孤子仅能在较深的PT对称势中才能稳定地传输。多级孤子的稳定性的范围随着PT对称势的深度增加而扩大;孤子的能量随着传播常数的增大而增加,但随着PT对称势的调制深度的增加而减少。

Solitons in optical lattices with nonlocal nonlinearity

The propagation of spatial solitons is systematically investigated in nonlocal nonlinear media with an imprinted transverse periodic modulation of the refractive index. Based on the variational principle and the infinitesimal approximation of Maclaurin series expansion, we obtain an analytical solution of such nonlocal spatial solitons and an interesting result that the critical power for such solitons propagation is smaller than that in uniform nonlocal self-focusing media. It is found that there exist thresholds in modulation period and lattice depth for such solitons. A stable spatial soliton propagation is maintained with proper adjustment of the modulation period and the lattice depth.     

Two-dimensional stationary nonlinear surface solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media

We address two-dimensional surface solitons occurring at the interface between a semi-infinite linear medium and a semi-infinite nonlocal nonlinear medium. We find that there exist stable single and dipole surface solitons. The properties of the surface solitons can be affected by the degree of nonlocality. Interestingly, only when the degree of nonlocality is greater than a critical value, the surface solitons can exist.     

Dynamics of surface dipole and tripole solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media with optical lattice field

We find the existence conditions for stationary dipole and tripole surface solitons formed at the interface of a nonlocal nonlinear medium and a lattice with linearly modulated frequency. We investigate how the degree of nonlocality, the depth, and the modulation frequency of the optical lattice field affect on the existence of the surface solitons and their dynamics. The relationship between the power and the model parameters is identified. The stability of the surface dipole and tripole solitons is numerically investigated.     

Dipole solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media with anisotropy

We investigate the existence and stability of dipole-mode solitons in two-dimensional models of nonlocal media with anisotropic Kerr nonlinearity analytically and numerically. We obtain the approximate solution of such elliptic dipole solitons by using the variational approximation. The dynamics of such dipole-mode solitons is governed by the eccentricity of both the input beam and the nonlocal response function. We also compute the stability of the solitons by direct numerical simulations. The effects of the anisotropy of the nonlocal response function on the propagation of the dipole beam are also discussed in detail.     

Quadrupolar matter-wave soliton in two-dimensional free space

We study two-dimensional (2D) matter-wave solitons in the mean-field models formed by electric quadrupole particles with long-range quadrupole–quadrupole interaction (QQI) in 2D free space. The existence of 2D matter-wave solitons in the free space was predicted using the 2D Gross–Pitaevskii Equation (GPE). We find that the QQI solitons have a higher mass (smaller size and higher intensity) and stronger anisotropy than the dipole–dipole interaction (DDI) solitons under the same environmental parameters. Anisotropic soliton–soliton interaction between two identical QQI solitons in 2D free space is studied. Moreover, stable anisotropic dipole solitons are observed, to our knowledge, for the first time in 2D free space under anisotropic nonlocal cubic nonlinearity.

Optical solitons supported by finite waveguide lattices with diffusive nonlocal nonlinearity

We investigate the properties of fundamental, multi-peak, and multi-peaked twisted solitons in three types of finite waveguide lattices imprinted in photorefractive media with asymmetrical diffusion nonlinearity. Two opposite soliton self-bending signals are considered for different families of solitons. Power thresholdless fundamental and multi-peaked solitons are stable in the low power region. The existence domain of two-peaked twisted solitons can be changed by the soliton self-bending signals. When solitons tend to self-bend toward the waveguide lattice, stable two-peaked twisted solitons can be found in a larger region in the middle of their existence region. Three-peaked twisted solitons are stable in the lower (upper) cutoff region for a shallow (deep) lattice depth. Our results provide an effective guidance for revealing the soliton characteristics supported by a finite waveguide lattice with diffusive nonlocal nonlinearity.     

The solutions of the strongly nonlocal spatial solitons with several types of nonlocal response functions

The fundamental and second order strongly nonlocal solitons of the nonlocal nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation for several types of nonlocal responses are calculated by Ritz's variational method. For a specific type of nonlocal response, the solutions of the strongly nonlocal solitons with the same beam width but different degrees of nonlocality are identical except for an amplitude factor. For a nonlocal case where the nonlocal response function decays in direct proportion to the $m$th power of the distance near the source point, the power and the phase constant of the strongly nonlocal soliton are in inverse proportion to the $(m+2)$th power of its beam width.     

Fundamental and multipole solitons supported by one-dimensional multilayer photonic crystals potentials

The existence and stability of solitons in one-dimensional multilayer photonic crystals potentials are reported. For all of the solitons, there exist cutoff points of the propagation constant below which the solitons vanish in the semi-infinite gap. The fundamental solitons are stable in the whole range where solitons exist. The antisymmetric dipole solitons can be stable when the propagation constant closes to the cutoff point. The range of stability for symmetric tripole solitons is changed with modulation depth and width of the multilayer photonic crystals potentials. The power of solitons increases with increasing of propagation constant and modulation width or decreasing of modulation depth of the potentials.
