Abstract | Dark spatial solitons have recently been the subject of intense theoretical and experimental study because of their potential in all-optical switching. The possibility of creating stable light-controllable waveguides which can be used to propagate signal carrying beams has been explored in the case of 2D dark solitons. An extension of this concept of guiding light by light to 3D could allow reconfigurable "optical fibres" to be written in bulk media. However, in the 3D geometry only "black" solitons exist, preventing the use of the soliton phase, as in the 2D case, to control the soliton direction and hence that of the induced waveguides. Thus, in the 3D geometry a different means of reconfiguring the soliton induced waveguides is required. Here we demonstrate nonlinearity induced rotation of 3D dark solitons at the output of a nonlinear medium. By changing the beam intensity (or the material nonlinearity) a 3D soliton embedded off-axis in a Gaussian beam can be made to rotate around that axis by up to 90/spl deg/. The induced waveguide therefore links a single input port to an array of output ports in a geometry akin to a rotary switch. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
