Brief

This article presents a theoretical analysis of the existence and stability of spatio-temporal optical bullets in two-dimensional fiber arrays, demonstrating their potential formation from an initial pulse launched into a single core and highlighting their generic nature across different multi-core geometries.

Summary

This article presents a theoretical analysis demonstrating the existence and stability of spatio-temporal optical bullets in two-dimensional fiber arrays using a generic model. It shows that these localized light pulses can form from an initial pulse launched into a single fiber core and remain stable under various coupling conditions. The findings have implications for applications like optical communication, high-power fiber lasers, and the study of nonlinear phenomena.
