In this chapter we describe the topic of cavity solitons in the framework of the general area of optical pattern formation. We illustrate how one can generate and control them; we compare them with standard spatial solitons and emphasize the special properties of their motion under the action of phase or amplitude gradients in the driving field. Next, we turn our attention to the subject of cavity soliton laser and to the possibility of realizing a cavity soliton billiard

Abstract
In this chapter we describe the topic of cavity solitons in the framework of the general area of optical pattern formation. We illustrate how one can generate and control them; we compare them with standard spatial solitons and emphasize the special properties of their motion under the action of phase or amplitude gradients in the driving field. Next, we turn our attention to the subject of cavity soliton laser and to the possibility of realizing a cavity soliton billiardI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
