Discrete gap solitons in modulated waveguide arrays.
We suggest a novel concept of diffraction management in waveguide arrays and predict the existence of discrete gap solitons that possess the properties of both conventional discrete and Bragg grating solitons. We demonstrate that one can control both the soliton velocity and the propagation direction by varying the input light intensity.
متن کاملDiscrete diffraction and spatial gap solitons in photovoltaic LiNbO3 waveguide arrays.
We investigate, experimentally and theoretically, light propagation in one-dimensional waveguide arrays exhibiting a saturable self-defocusing nonlinearity. We demonstrate low-intensity "discrete diffraction", and the high-intensity formation of spatial gap solitons arising from the first band of the transmission spectrum. The waveguide arrays are fabricated by titanium in-diffusion in a photor...
متن کاملObservation of discrete gap solitons in binary waveguide arrays.
We report an experimental study of discrete gap solitons in binary arrays of optical waveguides. We observe self-focusing indicating soliton generation when the inclination angle of an input beam is slightly above the Bragg angle and show that the propagation direction of the emerging gap soliton is influenced by the effect of interband momentum exchange.
متن کاملSuper-exponential Decay of Diffraction Managed Solitons
This is the second part of a series of papers where we develop rigorous decay estimates for breather solutions of an averaged version of the non-linear Schrödinger equation. In this part we study the diffraction managed discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation, an equation which describes coupled waveguide arrays with periodic diffraction management geometries. We show that, for vanishing averag...
متن کاملInteraction of counterpropagating discrete solitons in a nonlinear one-dimensional waveguide array.
We experimentally investigate the interaction of counterpropagating discrete solitons in a one-dimensional waveguide array in photorefractive lithium niobate. While for low input powers only weak interaction and formation of counterpropagating vector solitons are observed, for higher input powers a growing instability results in discrete lateral shifting of the formed discrete solitons. Numeric...
