Multipole-mode interface solitons in quadratic nonlinear photonic lattices

چکیده
We address the properties of nonlinear multipole modes supported by an interface between two distinct optical lattices imprinted in two-dimensional nonlinear quadratic media. Such multipole-mode solitons feature out of phase between neighboring lobes, which may be located in two different sides of the lattices. We analyze the impact of guiding parameters of lattices on the existence and stability of multipole-mode interface solitons in different phase mismatching conditions. Remarkably, our results show that multipole-mode interface solitons have the highly asymmetric shape and they are stable in the broad range of system parameters.

Interface solitons in quadratic nonlinear photonic lattices
We study the properties of two-color nonlinear localized modes which may exist at the interfaces separating two different periodic photonic lattices in quadratic media, focusing on the impact of phase mismatch of the photonic lattices on the properties, stability, and threshold power requirements for the generation of interface localized modes. We employ both an effective discrete model and con...
متن کاملSurface solitons in two-dimensional quadratic photonic lattices
Two-dimensional surface solitons have been recently predicted to exist as novel types of discrete solitons localized in the corners or at the edges of two-dimensional photonic lattices. These theoretical predictions were followed by the experimental observation of twodimensional surface solitons in optically-induced photonic lattices and waveguide arrays laser-written in fused silica. Important...
متن کاملMultipole-mode surface solitons.
We discover multipole-mode solitons supported by the surface between two distinct periodic lattices imprinted in Kerr-type nonlinear media. Such solitons are possible because the refractive index modulation at both sides of the interface glues together their out-of-phase individual constituents. Remarkably, we find that the new type of solitons may feature highly asymmetric shapes, and yet they...

We study two-color surface solitons in two-dimensional photonic lattices with quadratic nonlinear response. We demonstrate that such parametrically coupled optical localized modes can exist in the corners or at the edges of a square photonic lattice, and we analyze the impact of the phase mismatch on their properties, stability, and the threshold power for their generation. © 2009 Optical Socie...
متن کاملPolychromatic interface solitons in nonlinear photonic lattices.
We demonstrate that interfaces between two nonlinear periodic photonic lattices offer unique possibilities for controlling the nonlinear interaction between different spectral components of polychromatic light, and a change in the light spectrum can have a dramatic effect on the propagation along the interface. We predict the existence of polychromatic surface solitons that differ fundamentally...
