    No full text
    We report and discuss novel nondiffractive and nondispersive spatiotemporal localized wave packets propagating in optical cubic nonlinear or Kerr media. In particular, we demonstrate the existence of novel families of dark spatiotemporal soliton solutions of the (2+1)D nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE), derived from the hydrodynamic exact soliton dynamics of the (2+1)D shallow water Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) model, inheriting their complex dynamics and interaction properties

    Akhmediev breathers and Peregrine solitary waves in a quadratic medium

    No full text
    I investigate the formation of optical localized nonlinear structures, evolving upon a non-zero background plane wave in a dispersive quadratic medium. I show the existence of quadratic Akhmediev breathers and Peregrine solitary waves in the regime of cascading second-harmonic generation. This finding opens a novel path for the excitation of extreme rogue waves and for the description of modulation instability in quadratic nonlinear optics
