摘要：

Control of the emerging beams obtained from the spontaneous splitting of an optical vortex soliton (OVS) due to the azimuthal modulation instability is demonstrated. The procedure adopted consisted of adding a control Gaussian beam, propagating collinearly with the OVS, and adjusting the beams' relative positions, radius, and intensities. Rotation of the emerging beams in the transverse plane and energy transfer between them were obtained using a control beam with smaller intensity than the vortex beam. The numerical simulations based on a modified nonlinear Schrodinger equation, including saturable nonlinearity and three-photon absorption, are in excellent agreement with the experimental results.
