Observation of Discrete, Vortex Light Bullets

Observation of Discrete, Vortex Light Bullets

We report the first experimental observation of vortex light bullets that are discrete, spatiotemporal, solitary waves with orbital angular momentum. We analyze conditions for their existence and investigate their rich properties and dynamics. Vortex light bullets are excited in fiber arrays with sp...
