Attraction of nonlocal dark optical solitons

    Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review

    Abstract

    We study the formation and interaction of spatial dark optical solitons in materials with a nonlocal nonlinear response. We show that unlike in local materials, where dark solitons typically repel, the nonlocal nonlinearity leads to a long-range attraction and formation of stable bound states of dark solitons.
