We solve the two-dimensional strongly nonlocal nonlinear Schrdinger equation in polar coordinates. An exact analytical solution of self-similar waves, namely Kummer-Gaussian soliton clusters, is obtained. Numerical simulations confirm the validity of the analytical solutions. It is shown that the nonlocal optical spacial solitons have large phase shift.
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.
