Self-organization of dissipationless solitons in negative refractive index materials

General nonlinear and nonparaxial dissipative complex Helmholtz equations for magnetic and electric fields propagating in negative refractive index materials (NIMs) are derived ab initio from Maxwell equations. In order to describe nonconservative soliton dynamics in NIMs, such coupled equations are reduced into generalized Ginzburg-Landau equation. Cross-compensation between the excess of saturating nonlinearity, losses, and gain renders these self-organized solitons dissipationless and exceptionally robust. The presence of such solitons makes NIMs effectively dissipationless.
