Summary

We present a method to stabilize spatiotemporal solitons (STSs) in nonlinear media with dispersion management. A stable 2D STS was identified, alongside a novel bound state of two subpulses.

Area of Science:

  • Nonlinear Optics
  • Soliton Physics
  • Wave Propagation

Background:

  • Spatiotemporal solitons (STSs) are fundamental in nonlinear optics.
  • Stabilizing STSs is crucial for applications but challenging due to dispersion and nonlinearity.
  • Dispersion management, using layered media, offers a potential solution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and analyze a scheme for stabilizing spatiotemporal solitons (STSs) in media with cubic nonlinearity and dispersion management.
  • To identify the stability regions for 2D and 3D STSs.
  • To explore novel stable soliton structures.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a variational approximation for STSs.
  • Direct numerical simulations to verify theoretical predictions.

    • Main Results:

    • A specific stability region for 2D spatiotemporal solitons in a dispersion-managed medium was identified.
    • At the stability boundaries, a stable, oscillating bound state of two subpulses was discovered.
    • In 3D bulk media, spatiotemporal pulses were found to either spread out or collapse.

    Conclusions:

    • Dispersion management provides a viable route for stabilizing 2D spatiotemporal solitons.
    • Complex stable soliton dynamics, including bound states, can emerge at the edge of stability.
    • 3D spatiotemporal solitons remain challenging to stabilize in this configuration.
