This letter reports experimental results on a new type of soliton: the random temporal dark soliton. One excites an incoherent large-amplitude propagating spin-wave packet in a ferromagnetic film strip with a repulsive, instantaneous nonlinearity. One then observes the random formation of dark solitons from this wave packet. The solitons appear randomly in time and in position relative to the entire wave packet. They can be gray or black. For wide and/or very strong spin-wave packets, one also observes multiple dark solitons. In spite of the randomness of the initial wave packets and the random formation processes, the solitons show signatures that are found for conventional coherent dark solitons.

Formation of bright envelope solitons from wave packets with a repulsive nonlinearity was observed for the first time. The experiments used surface spin-wave packets in magnetic yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin film strips. When the wave packets are narrow and have low power, they undergo self-broadening during the propagation. When the wave packets are relatively wide or their power is relatively high, they can experience self-narrowing or even evolve into bright solitons. The experimental results were reproduced by numerical simulations based on a modified nonlinear Schrodinger equation model.
A simple mechanical analog describing Landau-Zener tunneling effect is proposed using two weakly coupled chains of nonlinear oscillators with gradually decreasing (first chain) and increasing (second chain) masses. The model allows to investigate nonlinear generalization of Landau-Zener tunneling effect considering soliton propagation and tunneling between the chains. It is shown that soliton tunneling characteristics become drastically dependent on its amplitude in nonlinear regime. The validity of the developed tunneling theory is justified via comparison with direct numerical simulations on oscillator ladder system.
Semiconductor microcavities operating in the polaritonic regime are highly non-linear, high speed systems due to the unique half-light, half-matter nature of polaritons. Here, we report for the first time the observation of propagating multi-soliton polariton patterns consisting of multi-peak structures either along (x) or perpendicular to (y) the direction of propagation. Soliton arrays of up to 5 solitons are observed, with the number of solitons controlled by the size or power of the triggering laser pulse. The break-up along the x direction occurs due to interplay of bistability, negative effective mass and polariton-polariton scattering, while in the y direction the break-up results from nonlinear phase-dependent interactions of propagating fronts. We show the experimental results are in good agreement with numerical modelling. Our observations are a step towards ultrafast all-optical signal processing using sequences of solitons as bits of information.
We study the dilute and ultracold unitary Bose gas, which is characterized by a universal equation of state due to the diverging s-wave scattering length, under a transverse harmonic confinement. From the hydrodynamic equations of superfluids we derive an effective one-dimensional nonpolynomial Schrodinger equation (1D NPSE) for the axial dynamics which, however, takes also into account the transverse dynamics. Finally, by solving the 1D NPSE we obtain meaningful analytical formulas for the dark (gray and black) solitons of the bosonic system.
Exciton-polariton solitons are strongly nonlinear quasiparticles composed of coupled exciton-photon states due to the interaction of light with matter. In semiconductor microcavity systems such as semiconductor micro and nanowires, polaritons are characterized by a negative mass which when combined with the repulsive nonlinear exciton-exciton interaction, leads to the generation of bright polariton solitons. In this work we investigate the dynamics of bright exciton-polariton solitons in a finite-size microcavity waveguide, for which radiative losses are assumed balanced by the external pumping. An exact bright-soliton solution to the model equations of motion, consisting of a periodic train of polariton pulses, is obtained in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions. Exact analytical expressions corresponding to the energies of both photonic and excitonic components of the pulse train are found. Results suggest that the size (i.e. the length) of a microwire waveguide plays a relevant role in obtaining a quantitative estimate of the energy that could be conveyed by polariton solitons propagating in the medium.
