Gap solitons in quasiperiodic optical lattices.

چکیده
Families of solitons in one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) Gross-Pitaevskii equations with the repulsive nonlinearity and a potential of the quasicrystallic type are constructed (in the 2D case, the potential corresponds to a fivefold optical lattice). Stable 1D solitons in the weak potential are explicitly found in three band gaps. These solitons are mobile, and they collide elastically. Many species of tightly bound 1D solitons are found in the strong potential, both stable and unstable (unstable ones transform themselves into asymmetric breathers). In the 2D model, families of both fundamental and vortical solitons are found and are shown to be stable.

Gap-Townes solitons and delocalizing transitions of multidimensional Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices
We show the existence of gap-Townes solitons for the multidimensional Gross-Pitaeviskii equation with attractive interactions and in twoand three-dimensional optical lattices. In absence of the periodic potential the solution reduces to the known Townes solitons of the multi-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation, sharing with these the propriety of being unstable against small norm (number...
متن کاملPhotonic crystals for matter waves: Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices.
We overview our recent theoretical studies on nonlinear atom optics of the Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) loaded into optical lattices. In particular, we describe the band-gap spectrum and nonlinear localization of BECs in one- and two-dimensional optical lattices. We discuss the structure and stability properties of spatially localized states (matter-wave solitons) in 1D lattices, as well as...
متن کاملGap solitons supported by optical lattices in photorefractive crystals with asymmetric nonlocality.
We address the impact of the asymmetric nonlocal diffusion nonlinearity of gap solitons supported by photorefractive crystals with an imprinted optical lattice. We reveal how the asymmetric nonlocal response alters the domains of existence and the stability of solitons originating from different gaps. We find that in such media gap solitons cease to exist above a threshold of the nonlocality de...
متن کاملMobility and interaction of matter-wave solitons in optical lattices
Localization of matter waves in optical lattices is possible due to the balance of nonlinearity and dispersion which is modified by the band-gap spectrum of matter waves in a periodic potential. Nonlinear localization of a Bose-Einstein condensate with repulsive interatomic interactions loaded into a onedimensional (1D) optical lattice can occur in the form of both bright and dark solitons. Dar...
متن کاملComposite band-gap solitons in nonlinear optically induced lattices.
We introduce novel optical solitons that consist of a periodic and a spatially localized component coupled nonlinearly via cross-phase modulation. The spatially localized optical field can be treated as a gap soliton supported by the optically induced nonlinear grating. We find different types of these band-gap composite solitons and demonstrate their dynamical stability.
