Optical vortex solitons observed in Kerr nonlinear media
Abstract
Optical vortex-soliton filaments are observed in a bulk self-defocusing Kerr nonlinear refractive medium. The dark cylindrical core, located at the axis of a 2\ensuremath{\pi} helical phase ramp, is stationary and stable, with a size that depends inversely on the field strength. Wave guiding of a weak probe beam within the core is reported. A single optical vortex soliton was experimentally created using a quasihelical phase mask. Pairs having opposite topological charge were experimentally and numerically investigated using a convective Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of dark soliton stripes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
