From optics to dark matter: A review on nonlinear Schrödinger–Poisson systems

A Paredes, DN Olivieri, H Michinel - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2020 - Elsevier
We review recent progress in Schrödinger–Poisson systems in 1+ 2 and 1+ 3 dimensions in
the presence of nonlinear terms. In a mean field approach, this mathematical model …

Solitons in Nonlinear Media with an Infinite Range of Nonlocality: First Observation<? format?> of Coherent Elliptic Solitons and of Vortex-Ring Solitons

C Rotschild, O Cohen, O Manela, M Segev, T Carmon - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
We present an experimental study on wave propagation in highly nonlocal optically
nonlinear media, for which far-away boundary conditions significantly affect the evolution of …

Observation of optical spatial solitons in a highly nonlocal medium

C Conti, M Peccianti, G Assanto - Physical review letters, 2004 - APS
We report on the observation and quantitative assessment of self-trapped pulsating beams
in a highly nonlocal nonlinear regime. The experiments were conducted in nematic liquid …

Route to nonlocality and observation of accessible solitons

C Conti, M Peccianti, G Assanto - Physical review letters, 2003 - APS
We develop a general theory of spatial solitons in a liquid crystalline medium exhibiting a
nonlinearity with an arbitrary degree of effective nonlocality. The model accounts the …

Self-confined light waves in nematic liquid crystals

G Assanto, NF Smyth - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2020 - Elsevier
The study of light beams propagating in the nonlinear, dispersive, birefringent and nonlocal
medium of nematic liquid crystals has attracted widespread interest in the last twenty years …

Two-dimensional multipole solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media

C Rotschild, M Segev, Z Xu, YV Kartashov, L Torner… - Optics letters, 2006 - opg.optica.org

Upper threshold for stability of multipole-mode solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media

Z Xu, YV Kartashov, L Torner - Optics letters, 2005 - opg.optica.org
We address the stability of multipole-mode solitons in nonlocal Kerr-type nonlinear media.
Such solitons comprise several out-of-phase peaks packed together by the forces acting …

Quadratic solitons as nonlocal solitons

NI Nikolov, D Neshev, O Bang, WZ Królikowski - Physical Review E, 2003 - APS
We show that quadratic solitons are equivalent to solitons of a nonlocal Kerr medium. This
provides new physical insight into the properties of quadratic solitons, often believed to be …
