Abstract :
In this work, we deal with (2+l)-D vortex ring solitons of the cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE). Our major observation is that there is a multiplicity of them. We have found families of ring solitons with arbitrary vorticity, (m), including higher order ones (m > 2). For each m, there is a variety of such solutions with the ground state being a stable ring with azimuthal symmetry.
