Soliton complexes and flat-top nonlinear modes in optical lattices
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe a continuous analog of the quasirectangular flat-top nonlinear modes earlier found for discrete nonlinear models. We show that these novel nonlinear modes can be understood as multi-soliton complexes with either in-phase or out-of-phase neighboring solitons trapped by the periodic potential of the lattice. We demonstrate a link between the flat-top states and the truncated nonlinear Bloch waves, and discuss how these nonlinear localized modes can be monitored experimentally in photonics and Bose–Einstein condensates.

All-Optical Reconfigurable-Tunable 1×N Power Splitter Using Soliton Breakup
In this paper, we numerically simulated a glass-based all-optical 1×N power splitter with eleven different configurations using soliton breakup in a nonlinear medium. It is shown that in addition to reconfigurability of the proposed splitter, its power splitting ratio is tunable up to some extent values too. Nonlinear semivectorial iterative finite difference beam propagation method (IFD-...
متن کاملTwo-color surface solitons in two-dimensional quadratic photonic lattices
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 کاملInterface localized modes and hybrid lattice solitons in waveguide arrays
Nonlinear Physics Center, Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering, Australian National University, Canberra ACT 0200, Australia We discuss the formation of guided modes localized at the interface separating two different periodic photonic lattices. Employing the effective discrete model, we analyze linear and nonlinear interface modes and also predict the existence of stable interf...
متن کاملSpatial Solitons in Parity-time-symmetric Mixed Linear-nonlinear Optical Lattices: Recent Theoretical Results
We provide a brief review of recent theoretical studies of optical spatial solitons in parity-time(PT-) symmetric mixed linear-nonlinear lattices. The existence and stability of optical spatial solitons forming in PT-symmetric lattices with spatially periodic modulation of the Kerr nonlinearity are briefly overviewed. The linear optical lattices are considered to be either regular lattices or s...
متن کاملSoliton percolation in random optical lattices.
We introduce soliton percolation phenomena in the nonlinear transport of light packets in suitable optical lattices with random properties. Specifically, we address lattices with a gradient of the refractive index in the transverse plane, featuring stochastic phase or amplitude fluctuations, and we discover the existence of a disorder-induced transition between soliton insulator and soliton-con...
