Impact of phase on collision between vortex solitons in three-dimensional cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau
Abstract:
We present a systematic analysis for three generic collisional outcomes between stable dissipative vortices with intrinsic vorticity S = 0, 1, or 2 upon variation of relative phase in the three-dimensional (3D) cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. The first type outcome is merger of the vortices into a single one, of which velocity can be effectively controlled by relative phase. With the increase of the collision momentum, the following is creation of an extra vortex, and its velocity also increases with growth of relative phase. However, at largest collision momentum, the variety of relative phase cannot change the third type collisional outcomes, quasielastic interaction. In addition, the dynamic range of the outcome of creating an extra vortex decreases with the reduction of cubic-gain. The above features have potential applications in optical switching and logic gates based on interaction of optical solitons.
