RESUMO
Described by the fractional Schrödinger equation (FSE) with the parabolic potential, the periodic evolution of the astigmatic chirped symmetric Pearcey Gaussian vortex beams (SPGVBs) is exhibited numerically and some interesting behaviors are found. The beams show stable oscillation and autofocus effect periodically during the propagation for a larger Lévy index (0 < α ≤ 2). With the augment of the α, the focal intensity is enhanced and the focal length becomes shorter when 0 < α ≤ 1. However, for a larger α, the autofocusing effect gets weaker, and the focal length monotonously reduces, when 1 < α ≤ 2. Moreover, the symmetry of the intensity distribution, the shape of the light spot and the focal length of the beams can be controlled by the second-order chirped factor, the potential depth, as well as the order of the topological charge. Finally, the Poynting vector and the angular momentum of the beams prove the autofocusing and diffraction behaviors. These unique properties open more opportunities of developing applications to optical switch and optical manipulation.
RESUMO
We introduce controllable Laguerre Gaussian wave packets (LGWPs) with self-accelerating and self-focusing properties along their predesigned parabolic trajectory via phase modulation. Numerically and experimentally recorded intensity patterns of controllable LGWPs with topological charges are obtained, and it is obvious that they agree well with the theoretical model. Furthermore, spatiotemporally controllable LGWPs can propagate stably along predesigned trajectories for many Rayleigh lengths. This paper not only provides a theoretical propagation model for these multi-dimensional controllable LGWPs, but also promotes further development of the basic research into self-bending and autofocusing structured light fields.
RESUMO
Three-dimensional chirped Airy Complex-variable-function Gaussian vortex (CACGV) wave packets in a strongly nonlocal nonlinear medium (SNNM) are studied. By varying the distribution parameter, CACGV wave packets can rotate stably in a SNNM in different forms, including dipoles, elliptic vortices, and doughnuts. Numerical simulation results for the CACGV wave packets agree well with theoretical analysis results under zero perturbation. The Poynting vector related to the physics of the rotation phenomenon and the angular momentum as a torque corresponding to the force are also presented. Finally, the radiation forces of CACGV wave packets acting on a nanoparticle in a SNNM are discussed.
RESUMO
We investigate the existence and stability of in-phase three-pole and four-pole gap solitons in the fractional Schrödinger equation supported by one-dimensional parity-time-symmetric periodic potentials (optical lattices) with defocusing Kerr nonlinearity. These solitons exist in the first finite gap and are stable in the moderate power region. When the Lévy index decreases, the stable regions of these in-phase multipole gap solitons shrink. Below a Lévy index threshold, the effective multipole soliton widths decrease as the Lévy index increases. Above the threshold, these solitons become less localized as the Lévy index increases. The Lévy index cannot change the phase transition point of the PT-symmetric optical lattices. We also study transverse power flow in these multipole gap solitons.
RESUMO
The existence and stability of vector solitons in non-parity-time (PT)-symmetric complex potentials are investigated. We study the vector soliton family, in which the propagation constants of the two components are different. It is found that vector solitons can be stable below and above the phase transition of the non-PT-symmetric complex potentials. Below the phase transition, vector solitons are stable in the low power region. Above the phase transition, there are two continuous stable intervals in the existence region. The profiles of two components of these vector solitons show the asymmetry and we also study the transverse power flow in the two components of these vector solitons in the non-PT-symmetric complex potentials.
RESUMO
We numerically show the generation of robust vortex clusters embedded in a two-dimensional beam propagating in a dissipative medium described by the generic cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with an inhomogeneous effective diffusion term, which is asymmetrical in the two transverse directions and periodically modulated in the longitudinal direction. We show the generation of stable optical vortex clusters for different values of the winding number (topological charge) of the input optical beam. We have found that the number of individual vortex solitons that form the robust vortex cluster is equal to the winding number of the input beam. We have obtained the relationships between the amplitudes and oscillation periods of the inhomogeneous effective diffusion and the cubic gain and diffusion (viscosity) parameters, which depict the regions of existence and stability of vortex clusters. The obtained results offer a method to form robust vortex clusters embedded in two-dimensional optical beams, and we envisage potential applications in the area of structured light.
RESUMO
We present dynamics of spatial solitons propagating through a PT symmetric optical lattice with a longitudinal potential barrier. We find that a spatial soliton evolves a transverse drift motion after transmitting through the lattice barrier. The gain/loss coefficient of the PT symmetric potential barrier plays an essential role on such soliton dynamics. The bending angle of solitons depends on the lattice parameters including the modulation frequency, incident position, potential depth and the barrier length. Besides, solitons tend to gain a certain amount of energy from the barrier, which can also be tuned by barrier parameters.
RESUMO
We report the stability of in-phase quadruple and off-site vortex solitons in the parity-time-symmetric periodic potentials with defocusing Kerr nonlinearity. All solitons can exist in the first gap and can be stable in a certain range. It is shown that the power of vortex solitons decreases and the stable region shrinks with increase of the topological charge. Especially the stable region is very small for double charge vortex solitons. The power evolutions of vortex solitons along the propagation distance are also analysed. Increasing the lattice depth or decreasing the gain-loss component can stabilize vortex solitons. For both lattice depth and gain-loss component there exists a critical value, below or above which all vortex solitons will become unstable.
RESUMO
We report on the existence and stability of the two-dimensional multipeak gap solitons in a parity-time-symmetric periodic potential with defocusing Kerr nonlinearity. We investigate the multipeak solitons with all the peaks of the real parts in-phase. It is found that these solitons can be stable in the first gap. The system can support not only the stable solitons with even number peaks, but also the stable solitons with odd number peaks. The transverse energy flow vector of these solitons is also studied.
RESUMO
We study the nonlinear optical properties of heterojunctions made of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) consisting of two segments with either the same or different topological properties. By utilizing a quantum mechanical approach that incorporates distant-neighbor interactions, we demonstrate that the presence of topological interface states significantly enhances the second- and third-order nonlinear optical response of GNR heterojunctions that are created by merging two topologically inequivalent GNRs. Specifically, GNR heterojunctions with topological interface states display third-order harmonic hyperpolarizabilities that are more than two orders of magnitude larger than those of their similarly sized counterparts without topological interface states, whereas the second-order harmonic hyperpolarizabilities exhibit a more than ten-fold contrast between heterojunctions with and without topological interface states. Additionally, we find that the topological state at the interface between two topologically distinct GNRs can induce a noticeable red-shift of the quantum plasmon frequency of the heterojunctions. Our results reveal a general and profound connection between the existence of topological states and an enhanced nonlinear optical response of graphene nanostructures and possible other photonic systems.
RESUMO
We study the solitons in parity-time symmetric potential in the medium with spatially modulated nonlocal nonlinearity. It is found that the coefficient of the spatially modulated nonlinearity and the degree of the uniform nonlocality can profoundly affect the stability of solitons. There exist stable solitons in low-power region, and unstable solitons in high-power region. In the unstable cases, the solitons exhibit jump from the original site to the next one, and they can continue the motion into the other lattices. The region of the stable soliton can be expanded by increasing the coefficient of the modulated nonlocality. Finally, critical amplitude of the imaginary part of the linear PT lattices is obtained, above which solitons are unstable and decay immediately.

We show that surface solitons in the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with truncated complex periodic potential can be stabilized by linear homogeneous losses, which are necessary to balance gain in the near-surface channel arising from the imaginary part of potential. Such solitons become stable attractors when the strength of homogeneous losses acquires values from a limited interval and they exist in focusing and defocusing media. The domains of stability of the surface solitons shrink with an increase in the amplitude of the imaginary part of complex potential.
RESUMO
We find the existence of two kinds of solitons at the interface of optical superlattices with both spatially modulated nonlinearity and linear refraction index. The first kind of solitons can either drift across the lattice, or deflect to the uniform nonlinear medium. The dynamics of such solitons mainly depends on their powers. The other kind of solitons can stably propagate along the surface, and can be controlled by additional Gaussian beams. In addition, we demonstrate the input-angle-dependent reflection, trapping, and refraction with nearly no losses by launching sech-shaped solitons.

We report the existence and stability of gap solitons in parity-time (PT) complex periodic optical lattices with the real part of superlattices. These solitons can stably exist in the semi-infinite gap. We have studied the effects of different relative strengths of the superlattices and different amplitudes of the imaginary part on soliton propagation. It was found that the relative strength of the superlattices and the amplitude of the imaginary part significantly affect the PT symmetry and the stability of solitons in the PT complex periodic optical lattices.
RESUMO
We analyze stability of moving dissipative solitons in the one-, two, and three-dimensional cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equations in the presence of a linear potential (linear refractive index modulation). The expressions of stability conditions and propagation trajectory of solitons are derived by means of a generalized variational approximation. Predictions of the variational analysis are fully confirmed by direct numerical simulations. The results have potential applications to using spatial dissipative solitons in optics as individually addressable and shift registers of the all-optical data processing systems.

We numerically study soliton dynamics at the interface between media with uniform and periodically modulated self-focusing nonlinearities. We find that the soliton can spontaneously laterally drift if its power is large enough. The drift direction can be controlled by changing the sign of the nonlinear modulation coefficient. We also study the dynamics of soliton launched with a tilt angle toward the nonlinear interface and reveal unique features, such as soliton rebound, penetration, and trapping.
RESUMO
We report dynamic regimes supported by a sharp quasi-one-dimensional (1D) ("razor"), pyramid-shaped ("dagger"), and conical ("needle") potentials in the 2D complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGL) equation with cubic-quintic nonlinearity. This is a model of an active optical medium with respective expanding antiwaveguiding structures. If the potentials are strong enough, they give rise to continuous generation of expanding soliton patterns by a 2D soliton initially placed at the center. In the case of the pyramidal potential with M edges, the generated patterns are sets of M jets for M < or = 5, or expanding polygonal chains of solitons for M > or = 6. In the conical geometry, these are concentric waves expanding in the radial direction.
RESUMO
C-Dots and composites based on them face the challenges of poor stability, especially under photo-radiation, and low solid-state photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs), which hinder their application in optical devices. Herein, a novel 2-dimensional hybrid material of polysiloxane embedded with Si-doped carbon dots (P-E-Si-CDs) was synthesized by a self-assembly approach, and the hybrid composite exhibited broadband blue-green fluorescence emission, outstanding photostability, high thermal stability, and a high PLQY of 82.8%. Moreover, the dual fluorescent emissions were demonstrated the creation of two closed-loop fluorophores. Using the as-prepared hybrid fluorescent material, fabricated light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on UV and blue-emitting LED chips present safe warm white light emission and adjustable white emission with a high color rendering index of up to 91, respectively. This work provides a novel strategy for the design and realization of Si-CD-based hybrid composites, thus promising their prospective use commercially in LED lighting.
RESUMO
Annularly and radially phase-modulated spatiotemporal necklace-shaped patterns (SNPs) in the complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGL) and complex Swift-Hohenberg (CSH) equations are theoretically studied. It is shown that the annularly phase-modulated SNPs, with a small initial radius of the necklace and modulation parameters, can evolve into stable fundamental or vortex solitons. To the radially phase-modulated SNPs, the modulated "beads" on the necklace rapidly vanish under strong dissipation in transmission, which may have potential application for optical switching in signal processing. A prediction that the SNPs with large initial radii keep necklace-ring shapes upon propagation is demonstrated by use of balance equations for energy and momentum. Differences between both models for the evolution of solitons are revealed.

We introduce a random strategy update rule for the evolutionary public goods game on networks based on survival of the fittest. A survival cost parameter is introduced to public goods game. Players whose payoffs are below the survival cost will be deleted from the network. The same number of new nodes are randomly connected to the network and randomly designated cooperation or defection. Numerical results show that cooperation can flourish if the multiplication factor of the public goods game is greater than the network degree. We present a simple analytical method to explain this result. The fraction of cooperators reaches the maximum for a suitable survival cost. Furthermore, the initial random network has evolved into a heterogeneous network which facilitates the emergence of the cooperation. Our work could be helpful to understand how natural selection favors cooperation. It suggests a new method to investigate the impact of the survival cost on the evolution of cooperation.
