Dissipative quadratic solitons supported by a localized gain
Dissipative quadratic solitons supported by a localized gain
We propose two models for the creation of stable dissipative solitons in optical media with the $\chi^{(2)}$ (quadratic) nonlinearity. To compensate spatially uniform loss in both the fundamental-frequency (FF) and second-harmonic (SH) components of the system, a strongly localized "hot spot", carrying the linear gain, is added, acting either on …
