Abstract
There is considerable fundamental and applicative interest in obtaining non-diffractive and non-dispersive spatio-temporal localized wave packets propagating in optical cubic nonlinear or Kerr media [1-3]. Here, we analytically predict the existence of a novel family of spatio-temporal dark lump solitary wave solutions of the (2+1)D nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE). Dark lumps represent multi-dimensional holes of light on a continuous wave background. We analytically derive the dark lumps from the hydrodynamic exact soliton solutions of the (2+1)D shallow water Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) model [4,5], inheriting their complex interaction properties (see Fig. 1). Our finding opens a novel path for the excitation and control of optical multidimensional extreme wave phenomena of hydrodynamic footprint [6]. [1] R. Boyd, Nonlinear Optics, 3rd ed.
