摘要: The existence of one-dimensional bright Kerr solitons is investigated in Kerr media beyond the paraxial approximation. It is found that a nonparaxial soliton with no less than a minimum dimensionless width of about 0.76 can exist, which corresponds to the real width about a wavelength. Besides, the coherent interactions between two nonparaxial bright solitons in Kerr media are also investigated in detail. It is found that their separation and intensity ratio have great influence on the coherent interaction between these two solitons. Furthermore, the effect of the relative phase difference on the nonparaxial interaction is quite different from that on the paraxial interaction. Periodical breath, merging, repulsion, and energy transferring can be realized separately by choosing an appropriate initial relative phase between the coherent solitons.
