Two-color solitons in Kerr third harmonic generation model

We investigate two-color, two dimensional spatially localized light modes in a resonant Kerr third-harmonic generation model. Using computational tools, we identify two distinct families of localized states. Unlike the single-component 2D nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation and previously studied non-resonant two-color systems, the dynamics are not dictated by a universal critical power, but depend on the distribution of power between the harmonics. The "fundamental-dominated" family acts as a "dynamical separatrix" between simultaneous collapse and joint diffraction, whereas the "third-harmonic-dominated" family does not. We further identify resonant collapse events accompanied by strong oscillations of the third harmonic, revealing a collapse mechanism absent from standard Kerr self-focusing.

Collapse events of two-color optical beams

In this work, we study optical self-focusing that leads to collapse events for the time-independent model of co-propagating beams with different wavelengths. We show that collapse events depend on the combined critical power of two beams for both fundamental, vortex and mixed configurations as well as on the ratio of their individual powers.
