Abstract

Theoretical and experimental results on optical ring dark solitary waves are presented, emphasizing the interplay between initial dark beam contrast, phase-shift magnitude, background-beam intensity and saturation of the nonlinearity are presented. The results are found to confirm qualitatively the existing analytical theory and are in agreement with the numerical simulations carried out.
