We show theoretically that dark solitons can exist in the presence of pure quartic dispersion, and also in the presence of both quadratic and quartic dispersive effects, displaying a much greater variety of possible solutions and dynamics…
We demonstrate that the temporal reflection of a weak dispersive pulse on a soliton in media with a frequency-dependent nonlinearity leads to the generation of new solitons, whose number can be selected by tuning parameters of the…

Optical solitons or soliton-like states shed light to blue-shifted frequencies through a resonant emission process. We predict a mechanism by which a second propagating mode is generated. This mode, called negative resonant radiation…

Solitons are universal nonlinear excitations that appear in settings as varied as optics, water waves, and quantum gases [1-5]. While reduced models of soliton dynamics are well established, their validity and dynamical behaviour in…
