On transverse stability of discrete line solitons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We obtain sharp criteria for transverse stability and instability of line solitons in the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations on oneand two-dimensional lattices near the anti-continuum limit. On a twodimensional lattice, the fundamental line soliton is proved to be transversely stable (unstable) when it bifurcates from the X (Γ ) point of the dispersion surface. On a one-dimensional (stripe) lattice, the fundamental line soliton is proved to be transversely unstable for both signs of transverse dispersion. If this transverse dispersion has the opposite sign to the discrete dispersion, the instability is caused by a resonance between isolated eigenvalues of negative energy and the continuous spectrum of positive energy. These results are obtained for focusing nonlinearity, and the results for defocusing nonlinearity can be deduced from a staggering transformation. When the line soliton is transversely unstable, asymptotic expressions for unstable eigenvalues are also derived. These analytical results are compared with numerical results and good agreement is obtained. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Anisotropy-controlled topological stability of discrete vortex solitons in optically induced photonic lattices.
We realize an experimental control over the topological stability of three-lobe discrete vortex solitons by modifying the symmetry of a hexagonal photonic lattice optically induced in a photorefractive crystal. By continuously deforming the lattice wave in one transverse direction, we manipulate the coupling between lattice sites and induce or inhibit the reversal of soliton vorticity.

We report systematic results of collisions between discrete spatiotemporal optical solitons in twodimensional photonic lattices. We show that the outcomes of collisions strongly depend on the initial soliton parameters, such as their input amplitudes (energies) and their transverse velocities. Four generic outcomes are identified in the study of collisions between discrete light bullets located...

We analyze stability of the TM polarized optical solitons and nonlinear guided waves localized at a metal-dielectric interface. We demonstrate, both analytically and numerically, that the spatial solitons can experience vectorial transverse modulational instability that leads to the generation of arrays of two-dimensional TM polarized self-trapped localized beams. In a sharp contrast, we reveal...
