Elliptic vortices in optical waveguides and self-attractive Bose–Einstein condensates

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We investigate vortex solitons in models representing “pancake-shaped” Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) with attractive interatomic interactions and an anisotropic harmonic trapping potential, or polarization-preserving waveguides, such as a photonic-crystal or radial-bandgap fiber with an elliptically deformed core. Elliptic-vortex states bifurcate from dipole modes. In spite of strongly asymmetric shapes, the elliptic vortices with topological charge 1 are stable in a wide region in their existence domain. The dependence of the stability region on the eccentricity of the elliptic trap is reported. Input circular wave functions with embedded vorticity slowly relax into stationary elliptic vortices, featuring persistent rotation in the course of the evolution. All higher-order vortices are unstable.
