Motion of complexes of 3D-laser solitons

Abstract

We reveal the existence of a wide class of stable solid-like 3D-dissipative soliton complexes with weak in-phase and antiphase coupling. Their 3D-orientation and motion depend on the ratio of coefficients of spatial and spectral filtering and on the symmetry of distributions of intensity and energy flows in complexes. Presented are motionless, moving in line, rotating, and moving along nonplanar trajectory complexes, as well as a number of scenarios of collisions of moving complexes.
