Abstract

A rotating dipole soliton is presented as a new type of composite soliton. The soliton is named "propeller soliton" because the dipole mode has a double-helix structure, and its equal-phase planes resemble propeller blades. This is the first soliton whose intensity structure (not only its phase) rotates during propagation.
