  7. Contraction of phase front

  8. Growing phase domains

  9. Phase fronts Fronts and solitons

  10. Coexistence of fronts and solitons

  11. 3-D Phase domains

  13. Tetraedal (diamond-) pattern

  14. Vortex rings in fast laser

  15. Self-imaging laser resonator with nonlinear elements in conjugated planes

  16. Soliton in laser with nonlinear absorber

  17. Soliton can be switched on everywhere

  18. Moving a soliton by a phase gradient

  19. Trapping a soliton by a „phase-trough“

  20. Longitudinal mode families of a plane resonator

  21. Moving solitons (schematic)

  22. Moving solitons (experiment)

  23. near field far field Moving solitons (numerical calculation)

  24. Self-imaging laser resonator with nonlinear elements in image plane

  25. Development of spatial solitons from a laser „vortex fluid“

  26. Coexisting larger numbers of solitons

  29. Conclusions: • Phase solitons exist in 4-wave-mixing resonators • Bright solitons exist in laser resonators with nonlinear absorber (competition in velocity space or coexistence of several solitons) • Applications possible for optical information processing (see paper by Larionova: Spatial Solitons in Semiconductor Microcavities)
