“…While our primary motivation is provided by the VCSEL-FSF, similar soliton phenomena have been found in systems such as lasers with saturable gain and absorption [28][29][30][31][32] and with a holding beam [33][34][35][36], as well as in VCSEL experiments employing coupled cavities [37] and a built-in saturable absorber [38], see also Ref. [39] for a review.…”

We use the cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation coupled to a dissipative linear equation as a model of lasers with an external frequency-selective feedback. It is known that the feedback can stabilize the one-dimensional (1D) self-localized mode. We aim to extend the analysis to 2D stripe-shaped and vortex solitons. The radius of the vortices increases linearly with their topological charge, m, therefore the flat-stripe soliton may be interpreted as the vortex with m = ∞, while vortex solitons can be realized as stripes bent into rings. The results for the vortex solitons are applicable to a broad class of physical systems. There is a qualitative agreement between our results and those recently reported for models with saturable nonlinearity.

“…Multistability among several, multicolored monochromatic CSL is analyzed and modeled in [86,87]. The proposed model also explains the observation and control of bistable laser vortices reported in [88], that were predicted earlier in wide-aperture, class-A lasers with saturable absorption in [89].…”

We review advances on the experimental study of cavity solitons in VCSELs in the past decade. We emphasize on the design and fabrication of electrically or optically pumped broad-area VCSELs used for CSs formation and review different experimental configurations. Potential applications of CSs in the field of photonics are discussed, in particular the use of CSs for all-optical processing of information and for VCSELs characterization. Prospects on self-localization studies based on vertical cavity devices involving new physical mechanisms are also given.

Self-localized states or dissipative solitons have the freedom of translation in systems with a homogeneous background. When compared to cavity solitons in coherently driven nonlinear optical systems, laser cavity solitons have the additional freedom of the optical phase. We explore the consequences of this additional Goldstone mode and analyze experimentally and numerically frequency and phase locking of laser cavity solitons in a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with frequency-selective feedback. Due to growth-related variations of the cavity resonance, the translational symmetry is usually broken in real devices. Pinning to different defects means that separate laser cavity solitons have different frequencies and are mutually incoherent. If two solitons are close to each other, however, their interaction leads to synchronization due to phase and frequency locking with strong similarities to the Adler-scenario of coupled oscillators.
