“…We refer to the Newton-iterative method used in [22] to find the solution of equation (5). Due to the invariance of the soliton solutions under the scale transformations [38] To analyze the stability of the PPSs, we performed the linear stability analysis of its solution with the azimuthal perturbation…”

“…Particularly, the nonlocality in lead glass has an infinite range but cut by its boundary [25], and more importantly, its thermal nature can reduce the sensitivity of the material response to the light polarization. This helps lead glass to support the stable propagation of two orthogonally-polarized vortex solitons [37,38]. Recently, the stable propagation of the first-order cylindrical vector vortex soliton is experimentally and theoretically demonstrated in lead glass [22].…”

We report the first experimental observation of spatial solitons with complex polarization states, called the Poincar'{e} polarization solitons (PPSs) in lead glass with strongly nonlocal nonlinearity. The formations of PPSs with topological charge of $l = 1$, including the cylindrical elliptical-polarization soliton (CEPS) and the angularly-hybrid polarization soliton (AHPS), were observed. We showed that the annular profiles and the complex polarization distributions of the first-order PPSs can be remained. Based on the linear stability analysis, we proved that the first-order PPSs are fully stable and the second-order PPS can survive only when one of the two component vortices dominates.
