Two-dimensional multi-pole solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media

Optics 2009-11-13 v1 Pattern Formation and Solitons

Abstract

We present the experimental observation of scalar multi-pole solitons in highly nonlocal nonlinear media, including dipole-, tri-pole, quadru-pole, and necklace-type solitons, organized as arrays of out-of-phase bright spots. These complex solitons are meta-stable, but with a large parameters range where the instability is weak, enabling their experimental observation.
