Stable high dimensional solitons in nonlocal competing cubic-quintic nonlinear media

We find and stabilize high dimensional dipole and quadrupole solitons in nonlocal competing cubic-quintic nonlinear media. By adjusting the propagation constant, cubic and quintic nonlinear coefficients, the stable intervals for dipole and quadrupole solitons which are parallel to $x$ axis and ones after rotating 45 degrees counterclockwise around the origin of coordinate are found. For the dipole solitons and ones after rotating, their stability is controlled by the propagation constant, the coefficients of cubic and quintic nonlinearity. For the quadrupole solitons, their stability is controlled by the propagation constant and the coefficient of cubic nonlinearity, rather than the coefficient of quintic nonlinearity, though there is a small effect of the quintic nonlinear coefficient on the stability. Our proposal may provide a way to generate and stabilize some novel high dimensional nonlinear modes in nonlocal system.

Spatial Beam Self-Cleaning in Bi-Tapered Multimode Fibers

We report the spatial beam self-cleaning in bi-tapered conventional multimode fibers (MMFs) with different tapered lengths. Through the introduction of the bi-tapered structure in MMFs, the input beam with poor beam quality from a high-power fiber laser can be converted to a centered, bell-shaped beam in a short length, due to the strengthened nonlinear modes coupling. It is found that the bi-tapered MMF with longer tapered length at the same waist diameter shows better beam self-cleaning effect and larger spectral broadening. The obtained results offer a new method to improve the beam quality of high-power laser at low cost. Furthermore, it may be interesting for manufacturing bi-tapered MMF-based devices to obtain the quasi-fundamental mode beam in spatiotemporal mode-locked fiber lasers.

Nonlinear Vortex Structures Driven by Small-Scale Non-helical Forces in Obliquely Rotating Stratified Fluids

We study a new type of large-scale instability in obliquely rotating stratifi ed fl uids with small-scale nonhelical turbulence. The small-scale turbulence is generated by the external force with zero helicity and low Reynolds number. The theory uses the method of multiscale asymptotic expansions. The nonlinear equations for large-scale motions are obtained in the third order of perturbation theory. We consider a linear instability and stationary nonlinear modes. Solutions in the form of nonlinear Beltrami waves and localized vortex structures such as kinks of a new type are obtained.
