Abstract

We consider the propagation of electromagnetic solitons in a ring superlattice formed by the successive deposition of coaxial ring-shaped layers lying in parallel planes. In contrast to a rectilinear (infinite) superlattice, in which either one soliton (a single solution) or an infinite number of solitons (fluxon solution), any finite number of equidistant solitons is possible in a ring superlattice. We calculate the constant component of the electric field along the axis of the superlattice and the density of the current of electron drag by solitons (“solitonelectric current”).
