Localized Airy Wave Packets in a Self-Defocusing Kerr Medium

Families of vortex-like and Gaussian-like localized Airy wave packets, propagating in a self-defocusing Kerr medium, are discovered. Their propagation is described by the cylindrical Korteweg-de Vries (CKdV) equation, reduced from the nonlinear Schrödinger equation by utilizing the reduc...
