Helmholtz dark spatial optical solitons for a
defocusing saturable nonlinearity

Lundie, MJ; Christian, JM; McDonald, GS; Chamorro-Posada, P

Abstract

We report on our latest developments in the field of Helmholtz soliton theory: the derivation of exact dark spatial optical solitons for a defocusing saturable nonlinearity. A raft of new physical predictions is made, and extensive analysis (via both mathematical and computational methods) investigates solution properties.
