We show that an optical system involving competing higher-order Kerr nonlinearities can support the existence of ultrasolitons, namely extremely localized modes that only appear above a certain threshold for the central intensity. Such new solitary waves can be produced for powers below the usual collapse threshold, but they can also coexist with ordinary, lower-intensity solitons. We derive analytical conditions for the occurrence of multistability and analyze the dynamics of the different kinds of fundamental eigenmodes that can be excited in these nonlinear systems. We also discuss the possible transitions between solitary waves belonging to different nonlinear regimes through the mechanism of soliton switching.

It is known that after a particular distance of evolution in fiber lasers, two (input) asymmetric soliton like pulses emerge as two (output) symmetric pulses having same and constant energy. We report such a compensation technique in dispersion manag ed fiber lasers by means of a semi-analytical method known as collective variable approach (CVA) with including third-order dispersion (TOD). The minimum length of fiber laser, at which the output symmetric pulses are obtained from the input asymmetric ones, is calculated for each and every pulse parameters numerically by employing Runge-Kutta fourth order method. The impacts of intercore linear coupling, asymmetric nature of initial parameters and TOD on the evolution of pulse parameters and on the minimum length are also investigated. It is found that strong intercore linear coupling and asymmetric nature of input pulse parameters result in the reduction of fiber laser length. Also, the role of TOD tends to increase the width of the pulses as well as their energies. Besides, chaotic patterns and bifurcation points on the minimum length of the fiber owing to the impact of TOD are also reported in a nutshell.
We demonstrate that, with the help of a Gaussian potential barrier, dark modes in the form of a local depression (bubbles) can be supported by the repulsive Kerr nonlinearity in combination with fractional dimension. Similarly, W-shaped modes are sup ported by a double potential barrier. Families of the modes are constructed in a numerical form, and also by means of the Thomas-Fermi and variational approximations. All these modes are stable, which is predicted by computation of eigenvalues for small perturbations and confirmed by direct numerical simulations.
We report the existence of vectorial dark dissipative solitons in optical cavities subject to a coherently injected beam. We assume that the resonator is operating in a normal dispersion regime far from any modulational instability. We show that the vectorial front locking mechanism allows for the stabilisation of dark dissipative structures. These structures differ by their temporal duration and their state of polarization. We characterize them by constructing their heteroclinic snaking bifurcation diagram showing evidence of multistability within a finite range of the control parameter.
We analyze dark pulse Kerr frequency combs in optical resonators with normal group-velocity dispersion using the Lugiato-Lefever model. We show that in the time domain these correspond to interlocked switching waves between the upper and lower homoge neous states, and explain how this fact accounts for many of their experimentally observed properties. Modulational instability does not play any role in their existence. Furthermore, we provide a detailed map indicating where stable dark pulse Kerr combs can be found in parameter space, and how they are destabilized for increasing values of frequency detuning.
We demonstrate that the multipoles associated with the density matrix are truly observable quantities that can be unambiguously determined from intensity moments. Given their correct transformation properties, these multipoles are the natural variabl es to deal with a number of problems in the quantum domain. In the case of polarization, the moments are measured after the light has passed through two quarter-wave plates, one half-wave plate, and a polarizing beam splitter for specific values of the angles of the waveplates. For more general two-mode problems, equivalent measurements can be performed.
