We demonstrate nanoscale optical bistability at an exceptionally low power threshold of 1 mW by leveraging Kerr-type hydrodynamic nonlinearities due to the heavily doped semiconductor's free carriers. This high nonlinearity is enabled by a…

This article reviews the current status of experimental results obtained in the measurement of light vector mesons produced in proton-proton and heavy ion collisions at different energies. The review is focused on two phenomena related to…

We consider the interplay between nonlocal nonlinearity and randomness for two different nonlinear Schr\"odinger models. We show that stability of bright solitons in presence of random perturbations increases dramatically with the…

We reveal the existence of polariton soliton solutions in the array of weakly coupled optical cavities, each containing an ensemble of interacting qubits. An effective complex Ginzburg-Landau equation is derived in the continuum limit…

Sub-wavelength confinement of light in nonlinear hyperbolic metamaterials due to formation of spatial solitons has attracted much recent attention because of its seemingly counter-intuitive behavior. In order to achieve self-focusing in a…

We reveal the existence of continuous families of guided single-mode solitons in planar waveguides with weakly nonlinear active core and absorbing boundaries. Stable propagation of TE and TM-polarized solitons is accompanied by attenuation…

The Kerr nonlinearity allows for exact analytic soliton solutions in 1+1D. While nothing excludes that these solitons form in naturally-occurring real-world 3D settings as solitary walls or stripes, their observation has previously been…

We study spatial optical solitons in a one-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystal created by an array of thin-film nonlinear waveguides, the so-called Dirac-comb nonlinear lattice. We analyze modulational instability of the extended…

The excitation of soliton states in optical layers exhibiting Kerr nonlinearities is theoretically investigated. The optical transmission coefficient is obtained as a function of the nonlinearity power of an incident monochromatic…

The existence and stability of stable bright solitons in one-dimensional (1D) media with a spatially periodical modulated Kerr nonlinearity are demonstrated by means of the linear-stability analysis and in direct numerical simulations. The…

We propose the application of nonlinear optics for studies of spatially indirect excitons in coupled quantum wells. We demonstrate, that despite their vanishing oscillator strength, indirect excitons can strongly contribute to the…

Starting from the Maxwell equations, we used the reductive perturbation method to derive a system of two coupled nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger (NLS) equations for the two Beltrami components of the electromagnetic field propagating along a…

We examine the existence and stability of discrete spatial solitons in coupled nonlinear lasing cavities (waveguide resonators), addressing the case of active defocusing media, where the gain exceeds damping in the low-amplitude limit. A…

Under investigation in this paper are the coupled complex short pulse equations, which describe the propagation of ultra-short optical pulses in cubic nonlinear media.Through the Hirota method, bright-dark one- and two-soliton solutions are…

From protein motifs to black holes, topological solitons are pervasive nonlinear excitations that are robust and can be driven by external fields. So far, existing driving mechanisms all accelerate solitons and antisolitons in opposite…

We characterize the spatial optical solitons supported by arrays of metallic nanowires embedded in Kerr-type material. The array of nanowires is described using an effective medium model and is regarded as a continuous medium. It is shown…

In this letter we describe a new and simple approach for modulating the electromagnetic wave propagating in a dielectric medium in the form of solitons by considering the torque developed between the induced dipoles in the medium and…

Soliton microcombs based on Kerr nonlinearity in microresonators have been a prominent miniaturized coherent light source. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate the existence of Kerr solitons in an optomechanical microresonator, for…

We demonstrate that spatially inhomogeneous defocusing nonlinear landscapes with the nonlinearity coefficient growing toward the periphery as [1+abs(r)]**a support one- and two-dimensional fundamental and higher-order bright solitons, as…

We show experimentally the existence of bright and dark spatial solitons in a passive quantum-well-semiconductor resonator of large Fresnel number. For the wavelength of observation the nonlinearity is mixed absorptive/defocusing. Bright…
