Collapse and Splitting of Dark Solitons

Abstract

Dark spatial solitons in nonlinear planar waveguides are observed as intensity dips on a broad (cw) background beam that do not diffract as the beam propagates [1]. These stationary nonlinearity-supported structures can be used as self-induced optical waveguides to guide or steer another (probe) beam, thus manipulating light by light. Recent experimental observations of dark spatial solitons [2-5] emphasize again the importance of dark solitons for all-optical applications.
