Self-trapped spatiotemporal necklace-ring solitons in the Ginzburg-Landau equation

We consider a class of self-trapped spatiotemporal solitons: spatiotemporal necklace-ring solitons, whose intensities are azimuthally periodically modulated. We reveal numerically that the spatiotemporal necklace-ring solitons carrying zero, integer, and even fractional angular momentum can be self-trapped over a huge propagation distance in the three-dimensional cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, even in the presence of random perturbations.
