Guiding-center solitons in rotating potentials

Optics 2009-11-13 v1 Pattern Formation and Solitons

Abstract

We demonstrate that rotating quasi-one-dimensional potentials, periodic or parabolic, support solitons in settings where they are otherwise impossible. Ground-state and vortex solitons are found in defocusing media, if the rotation frequency exceeds a critical value. The revolving periodic potentials exhibit the strongest stabilization capacity at a finite optimum value of their strength, while the rotating parabolic trap features a very sharp transition to stability with the increase of rotation frequency.
