Abstract

The formation of dissipative topological solitons is simulated from spontaneous emission in practical cases involving two transverse dimensions that is unstable in Kerr media. The degenerate doubly resonant parametric oscillator (DOPO) tends to form complicated phase defect patterns that disappear progressively, leaving a 1 D dark stripe. The possibility of observing topological dissipative structures in time domain is also discussed.
