Suppression of collapse for spiraling elliptic solitons
Nonlinear Physics Center, Research School of Physics and Engineering, The Australian National University, Canberra ACT 0200, Australia.1
We reveal that orbital angular momentum can suppress catastrophic self-focusing in nonlinear Kerr media supporting stable spiraling solitons with an elliptic cross section. We discuss the necessary requirements for observation of this effect with coherent optical and matter waves.
