(Received 21 March 2014) We report the novel dynamic of 3D dissipative vortices supported by an umbrella-shaped potential (USP) in the 3D complex Ginzburg–Landau (CGL) equation with the cubic-quintic nonlinearity. The stable solution of vortices with intrinsic vorticity 푆=1 and 2 are obtained in the 3D CGL equation. An appropriate USP forces the vortices continuously to throw out fundamental 3D solitons (light bullets) along the folding umbrella. The dynamic regions of the strength of the potential with the changing number of folding umbrella are analyzed, and the rate of throwing increases with the strength of the potential. A weak potential cannot provide vortices with enough force. Then, the vortices will be stretched into polygons. However, a strong potential will destroy the vortices.

Solitons in optical media have attracted much In this Letter, we introduce a 3D CGL model with attention.[1−14] A spatiotemporal soliton is referred to an external umbrella-shaped potential. We consider as a ‘light bullet’ localized in all spatial dimensions the nonlinear dynamic on stable dissipative vortices and in the time dimension. The generation of a light initially placed at the apex of the potential. The ex- bullet might be of importance in soliton-based com- tra force of the potential breaks the original dynam- munication systems. An optical vortex soliton is a ical balance of the central vortices. A series of novel self-localized nonlinear wave, which has a point (sin- dynamics are observed.
