Guiding-center solitons in rotating potentials

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: We demonstrate that rotating quasi-one-dimensional potentials, periodic or parabolic, support solitons in settings where they are otherwise impossible. Ground-state and vortex solitons are found in defocusing media, if the rotation frequency $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ exceeds a critical value. The revolving periodic potentials exhibit the strongest stabilization capacity at a finite optimum value of their strength, while the rotating parabolic trap features a very sharp transition to stability with the increase of $\ensuremath{\alpha}$.
