Linear superpositions of gap solitons in periodic Kerr media.

چکیده
The existence of a type of soliton in periodic Kerr media constructed as a superposition of noninteracting gap solitons of different kinds (bright, dark, and periodic) is first demonstrated. The periodic modulation of the nonlinearity is used to suppress the cross-phase modulation between component solitons to allow the superimposed beam to propagate for long distances.

Families of vortex solitons in periodic media
Various families of charge-1 vortex solitons in two-dimensional periodic media are reported. These vortices reside either in the semi-infinite gap or higher band gaps of the media. For both Kerr and saturable nonlinearities either focusing or defocusing , infinite vortex families are found. All these families do not bifurcate from Bloch bands; rather, they turn around before reaching the edges ...
متن کاملGap solitons in Bragg gratings with a harmonic superlat- tice
– Solitons are studied in a model of a fiber Bragg grating (BG) whose local reflectivity is subjected to periodic modulation. The superlattice opens an infinite number of new bandgaps in the model’s spectrum. Averaging and numerical continuation methods show that each gap gives rise to gap solitons (GSs), including asymmetric and double-humped ones, which are not present without the superlattic...
متن کامل2 0 Fe b 20 14 Gap solitons with null - scattering
We study excitation of gap solitons under the conditions of coherent perfect absorption (CPA). Our system consists of a symmetric periodic structure with alternating Kerr nonlinear and linear layers, illuminated from both the ends. We show near-total transfer of incident light energy into the gap solitons resulting in null-scattering. We also report on the nonlinear super-scattering (SS) states...
متن کاملGap solitons in spatiotemporal photonic crystals
We generalize the concept of nonlinear periodic structures to systems that show arbitrary spacetime variations of the refractive index. Nonlinear pulse propagation through these spatiotemporal photonic crystals can be described, for shallow nonstationary gratings, by coupled mode equations which are a generalization of the traditional equations used for stationary photonic crystals. Novel gap s...
متن کاملBright and dark spatial solitons in non - Kerr media
An overview of the theory of self-guided optical beams, spatial optical solitons supported by non-Kerr non-linearities, is presented. This includes bright and dark solitons in optical media with intensity-dependent non-linear response as well as two-component solitary waves supported by parametric wave mixing in quadratic or cubic media. The properties of non-linear spatially localized waves ar...
