Optical Solitons Carrying Orbital Angular Momentum
Abstract
We predict a new kind of ring-profile solitary wave in nonlinear optical media, with finite orbital angular momentum. During propagation these fragment into fundamental solitons. Like free Newtonian particles, these fly off tangential to the ring, vividly demonstrating conservation of orbital angular momentum in soliton motion.

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.
