Spatial Optical Solitons in Waveguide Arrays
We overview theoretical and experimental results on spatial optical solitons excited in arrays of nonlinear waveguides. First, we briefly summarize the basic properties of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation frequently employed to study spatially localized modes in arrays, the so-called discrete solitons. Then, we introduce an improved analytical model that describes a periodic st...
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 کاملDiscrete surface solitons in semi-infinite binary waveguide arrays.
We analyze discrete surface modes in semi-infinite binary waveguide arrays, which can support simultaneously two types of discrete solitons. We demonstrate that the analysis of linear surface states in such arrays provides important information about the existence of nonlinear surface modes and their properties. We find numerically the families of both discrete surface solitons and nonlinear Ta...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal discrete surface solitons in binary waveguide arrays.
We study spatiotemporal solitons at the edge of a semi-infinite binary array of optical waveguides and, in particular, predict theoretically the existence of a novel type of surface soliton, the surface gap light bullets. We analyze the stability properties of these solitons in the framework of the continuous-discrete model of an array of two types of optical waveguides.
متن کاملSwitching of discrete optical solitons in engineered waveguide arrays.
We demonstrate a simple concept for controlling nonlinear switching of discrete solitons in arrays of weakly coupled optical waveguides, for both cubic and quadratic nonlinear response. Based on the effective discrete nonlinear equations describing light propagation in the waveguide arrays in the tight-binding approximation, we demonstrate the key ideas of the array engineering by means of a st...
