Abstract

Two analytical techniques for the generation of wide classes of exact solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) containing an external potential are proposed. Both methods are illustrated by a variety of localized solutions, including solitary optical vortices, for both the self-focusing and self-defocusing nonlinearities. The stability of solutions was tested by direct numerical simulations of the NLSE; the existence of stable localized modes was confirmed through the simulation
