Abstract:

Dark solitons have provoked much interest since they were first shown to be particular solutions of the two-dimensional 11-D nonlinear Schrodinger equation NSE with a negative self-defocusing type nonlinear coefficient n2. So far, only 11-D temporal dark solitons intensity minimums propagating along a nonlinear fiber on a quasi-cw bright background have been observed experimentally.
