We explored two-component spatial optical vortex solitons in nonlinear media. Novel "halo-vortex" and "ring-vortex" solitons were discovered, advancing nonlinear optics research.

Area of Science:

Nonlinear Optics
Optical Solitons
Parametric Processes

Background:

Spatial optical vortex solitons are crucial localized wave phenomena in nonlinear optics.
Parametric wave mixing processes enable the formation and manipulation of complex soliton structures.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze two-component spatial optical vortex solitons in nonlinear bulk media.
To investigate solitons formed via second-harmonic generation (SHG) and third-harmonic generation (THG).

Main Methods:

Analytical and numerical methods were employed to determine soliton structures.
Modulational instability of the plane-wave background was investigated.

Main Results:

The structure of two-component vortex solitons was determined for competing quadratic and cubic nonlinearities (SHG) and cubic nonlinearities (THG).

Novel 'halo-vortex' solitons, featuring a core surrounded by a harmonic field ring, were predicted and analyzed.

Novel 'ring-vortex' solitons, where a harmonic vortex guides a fundamental-frequency ring, were predicted and analyzed.

Conclusions:

The study reveals new types of two-component vortex solitons, expanding the understanding of nonlinear localized waves.
The findings contribute to the fundamental knowledge of light propagation in nonlinear optical media.
