Nonparaxial dark solitons in optical Kerr media

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We show that the nonlinear equation that describes nonparaxial Kerr propagation, together with the already reported bright-soliton solutions, admits of 1+1D dark-soliton solutions. Unlike their paraxial counterparts, dark solitons can be excited only if their asymptotic normalized intensity u2 is below 3/7; their width becomes constant when u2 approaches this value.
