We have demonstrated numerically that new families of spatiotemporal dissipative optical bullets, including self-trapped, necklace-ring, ring-vortex solitons, uniform-ring beams, spherical and rhombic distributions of light bullets, and fundamental and cluster solitons, are possible in the higher-order (3 + 1)-dimensional cubic-quintic-septic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with higher-order effects such as stimulated Raman scattering, self-steepening and third-, fourth-, fifthand sixth-order dispersion terms. These solutions remain localized and can be self-trapped over a huge propagation distance, even in the presence of random perturbations, due to the combined influence of dispersion, diffraction, gain, loss, spectral filtering, the Raman effect and cubic-quintic-septic nonlinearities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
