Abstract

We have studied Laguerre-Gaussian spatial solitary waves in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media analytically and numerically. An exact analytical solution of two-dimensional self-similar waves is obtained. Furthermore, a family of different spatial solitary waves has been found. It is interesting that the spatial soliton profile and its width remain unchanged with increasing propagation distance. The theoretical predictions may give new insights into low-energetic spatial soliton transmission with high fidelity.
