SYSN: Solitons and Nonlinear Waves in Periodic Complex Structures

SYSN 1: SYSN I

SYSN 1.3: Invited Talk

Friday, March 4, 2005, 15:00–15:30, HU Audimax

Dissipative Optical Solitons — •Ulf Peschel — Institute of Solid State Physics and Optics, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Max-Wien-Platz 1, 07743 Jena, Germany

Losses due to absorption or scattering are always present in real-world optical systems. The active compensation of energy dissipation is therefore vital for any kind of application. It also leads to the formation of new and surprisingly robust localized structures, which exchange energy with their environment. The aim of the talk is to discuss the properties of these so-called dissipative optical solitons for both the spatial and the temporal domain.
