Abstract The propagation dynamics of the com-
plex variable cosine-Gaussian cross-phase (CVCGCP)
array beams in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media are
researched based on the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger
equation. Under the effect of cross-phase, the trans-
verse mode of CVCGCP array beams changes peri-
odically and rotates during propagation. Compared
with higher-order temporal solitons in nonlinear optical
fibers, CVCGCP array beams can be considered as a
new form of higher-order spatial solitons. The expres-
sion of the optical field distribution for the propaga-
tion evolution of CVCGCP array beams is presented.
According to the different parameters, three cases are
studied in detail. The light intensity pattern, phase and
statistical width of CVCGCP array beams are discussed
and analyzed. The results show that CVCGCP array
beams have rich transmission characteristics and can
form a linear shape distribution, which has the practi-
cal application value. By selecting the parameters, the
light intensity patterns can be repeated and controlled,
so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the light
intensity patterns. The results of this paper enrich the
types of higher-order spatial solitons, and also provide
theoretical references for beam control and information
transmission, etc.

1 Introduction
Since the concept of strongly nonlocal nonlinearity was
proposed [1], the transmission characteristics of laser
beams in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media (SNNM)
have been one of the key subjects of research. The
strongly nonlocal nonlinear media have many unique
properties that can suppress the instability of the laser
beams during transmission, and thus can support many
laser beams to form new nonlocal beam forms, such as
high-order Gaussian beams [2,3], vortex solitons [4–
6], high-order multipole solitons [7–9], dark and anti-
dark solitons [10,11], elliptic solitons [12–14], com-
plex variable solitons [15–18], soliton clusters [19–
22], etc. At the same time, nonlocal optical beams
exhibit unique dynamic transmission properties, such
as mutual attraction between antiphase solitons [1,23],
self-induced mode transformation [24], optical field
self-reconstruction [25], three-dimensional scale trans-
formation [26], and self-induced fractional Fourier
transformation [27], etc. At present, it has been found
that many optical media have some nonlocal properties,
and strongly nonlocal nonlinearity can exist in nematic
liquid crystals [28,29], lead glasses [30,31], atomic
vapors [32], and other media. Based on these nonlo-
cal optical beams and their characteristics, some novel
all-optical controllers have been realized [33–36].
