Discrete surface solitons in semi-infinite binary waveguide arrays.

چکیده
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 Tamm (gap) states and study their stability properties.

Surface multi-gap vector solitons.
We analyze nonlinear collective effects near surfaces of semi-infinite periodic systems with multi-gap transmission spectra and introduce a novel concept of multi-gap surface solitons as mutually trapped surface states with the components associated with different spectral gaps. We find numerically discrete surface modes in semi-infinite binary waveguide arrays which can support simultaneously ...
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 کاملDiscrete solitons and nonlinear surface modes in semi-infinite waveguide arrays.
We discuss the formation of self-trapped localized states near the edge of a semi-infinite array of nonlinear optical waveguides. We study a crossover from nonlinear surface states to discrete solitons by analyzing the families of odd and even modes centered at finite distances from the surface and reveal the physical mechanism of the nonlinearity-induced stabilization of surface modes.
متن کاملNonlinear localized modes at phase-slip defects in waveguide arrays.
We study light localization at a phase-slip defect created by two semi-infinite mismatched identical arrays of coupled optical waveguides. We demonstrate that the nonlinear defect modes possess the specific properties of both nonlinear surface modes and discrete solitons. We analyze the stability of the localized modes and their generation in both linear and nonlinear regimes.
متن کاملStable discrete surface light bullets.
We analyze spatiotemporal light localization near the edge of a semi-infinite array of weakly coupled nonlinear optical waveguides and demonstrate the existence of a novel class of continuous-discrete spatiotemporal solitons, the so-called discrete surface light bullets. We show that their properties are strongly affected by the presence of the surface. To this end the crossover between surface...
