    Experimental observation of a vortex dissipative soliton at amplification on the basis of two-wave mixing with saturable absorption

    The existence of topological spatial vortex dissipative solitons in an active cavity with a high (>100) Fresnel number, laser-like amplification on the basis of two-wave mixing, and saturable absorption is exp...

    Spatial Resonator Solitons

    Spatial solitons can exist in various kinds of nonlinear optical resonators with and without amplification. In past years, different types of these localized structures, such as vortices, bright, dark solitons...

    Spatial Solitons in Nonlinear Resonators

    We discuss solitons in nonlinear resonators. In particular we discuss the cases of “laser” resonator, laser resonator containing a nonlinear absorber, parametric mixing and semiconductor microresonator. In the...

    Dynamics of laser-induced bubble and free-surface oscillations in an absorbing liquid

    A series of laser-driven dynamic photocapillary effects in absorbing liquid are described. We have observed self-oscillations of the free surface of a liquid (iodine solution in ethanol) and laser-induced bubb...
