| Zusammenfassung | We describe experiments showing the existence of spatial solitons in semiconductor microresonators. We describe the manipulation of such solitons in view of technical applications: switching solitons on and off by coherent as well as incoherent light; reducing the light power necessary to sustain and switch a soliton, by optical pumping; and the limit in which independent solitons become so strongly bound that they form a coherent hexagonal pattern, marking the maximum information storage density. |
