Popis: We show that, for a given critical power, drastic changes in the stability of light beams take place in cubic-quintic nonlinear optical materials. High-power nodeless beams illuminating an appropriate phase mask yield to vortex states that propagate through long distances without breaking. Our predictions can be easily tested in the frame of current experiments and provide interesting questions about the physics of cubic-quintic nonlinear optical media.
