Abstract

We investigate two-component spatial optical solitons in a cascaded three-level atomic system. We derive an existence curve in the parameter space of power and spatial widths that reveals the existence of a plethora of coupled solitons. These solitons can exist with two different frequencies and also with two different widths. Our analytical results have been verified by direct numerical simulations. Stability analysis confirms that these solitons are stable.

Two-Frequency Bright and Dark Solitons in a Three-Level Atomic System

Nadeem A. Ansari, R.A. Sammut

The intensity-dependent refractive index is calculated for a Kerr-like medium composed of a closed three-level atomic system in V-configuration and it is shown that two optical waves of different frequencies can be mutually-trapped in the form of bright and dark spatial solitons.

Formation and interaction characteristics of two-component spatial weak-light soliton in a four-level double-Λ type system

Yanchao She, Denglong Wang, Weixi Zhang +2 more

By using the multiple-scale method, we study analytically the formation and stability of two-component spatial optical solitons in a cold, lifetime-broadened resonant four-level double-Λ type atomic system via electromagnetically induced transparency. It is shown that stable two-component (1+1) dimension spatial optical solitons with extremely weak light intensity can occur, which is different from the passive ones with photorefractive and planar waveguides. Furthermore, the interaction characteristics between two solitons are studied by numerical simulations. We find that the collisional dynamics and the energy transfer of the two solitons are closely correlated with their relative phase shift. Our results may provide a good idea to obtain useful spatial optical solitons for application in optical soliton communications.

Vector Solitons and Soliton Collisions in Two-Component Bose–Einstein Condensates

Xunxu Liu, Zhang Xiao-Fei, Peng Zhang

With realistic parameters, both analytical and computational studies demonstrate the feasibility of forming bright-bright vector solitons in a self-repulsive two-component Bose-Einstein condensate with attractive inter-component interaction. Moreover, the stability of such solitons is confirmed by direct numerical simulations, by a Bogoliubov spectrum analysis, and by examining the collisions between two vector solitons. Our results are of considerable experimental interest.

An optical soliton pair among absorbing three-level atoms

Hichem Eleuch, R. Bennaceur

The motion of a pair of solitons propagating through an absorbing three-level system in the lambda configuration is analysed. In the course of this analytic analysis, the existence condition for solitary wave pairs is derived. This condition allows for two possible velocities of the soliton pair.

Two-component dark-bright solitons in three-dimensional atomic Bose-Einstein condensates

Wenlong Wang, P. G. Kevrekidis

In the present work, we revisit two-component Bose-Einstein condensates in their fully three-dimensional (3D) form. Motivated by earlier studies of dark-bright solitons in the 1D case, we explore the stability of these structures in their fully 3D form in two variants. In one the dark soliton is planar and trapping a planar bright (disk) soliton. In the other case, a dark spherical shell soliton creates an effective potential in which a bright spherical shell of atoms is trapped in the second component. We identify these solutions as numerically exact states (up to a prescribed accuracy) and perform a Bogolyubov-de Gennes linearization analysis that illustrates that both structures can be dynamically stable in suitable intervals of sufficiently low chemical potentials. We corroborate this finding theoretically by analyzing the stability via degenerate perturbation theory near the linear limit of the system. When the solitary waves are found to be unstable, we explore their dynamical evolution via direct numerical simulations which, in turn, reveal wave forms that are more robust. Finally, using the SO(2) symmetry of the model, we produce multi-dark-bright planar or shell solitons involved in pairwise oscillatory motion.
