Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 1623–1626 (1996)Optical Bullet Holes: Robust Controllable Localized States of a Nonlinear CavityReceived 21 August 1995; published in the issue dated 4 March 1996 Stable localized states are predicted for a saturable absorber in an optical cavity. These “bullet holes” resemble 2D spatial solitons, and we demonstrate an optical memory array scheme based on them. A topological argument shows that one or more unstable localized states coexist with the stable bullet hole. © 1996 The American Physical Society URL:
