Solitary-wave vortices in quadratic nonlinear media

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We find families of vortex solitary waves in bulk quadratic nonlinear media under conditions for second-harmonic generation. We show that the vortex solitary waves are azimuthally unstable and that they decay into sets of stable spatial solitons. We calculate the growth rates of the azimuthal perturbations and show how those affect the pattern of output light.
