Abstract

Transversely one-dimensional localized field structures in a wide-aperture interferometer with inertialess nonlinearity of a threshold form are analyzed theoretically for the case when modulation instability of the transversely homogeneous field distributions is absent. It is shown that dissipative solitons exist even in the case of monostability (in the absence of bistability of the homogeneous distributions). In this case, the number of types of solitons turns out to be finite. The possibility of existence of pulsating solitons in an interferometer with inertialess nonlinearity is indicated.
