Solitons in Bragg Gratings with Saturable Nonlinearity
Coupled-mode equations for two waves coupled by the Bragg reflection in the presence of saturable nonlinearity are introduced. Stable solitons and their bound states fill a part of the bandgap, their collisions being quasi-elastic. OCIS codes: (060.4370) Nonlinear optics, fibers, (190.5530) Pulse propagation and soliton, (350.2770) Gratings
متن کاملNonlinear Fiber Bragg Gratings
In this paper we review some of the dominant topics in fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). The combination of theory and simulations shows that these structures can use in filters, nonlinear fiber optical applications, soliton propagations etc. We discussed the theory of FBGs, grating solitons, Bragg soliton generation in intrinsic media and birefringence effects in FBGs together with some numerical s...
متن کاملInstabilities of Multihump Vector Solitons in Coupled Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations
Spectral stability of multihump vector solitons in the Hamiltonian system of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations is investigated both analytically and numerically. Using the closure theorem for the negative index of the linearized Hamiltonian, we classify all possible bifurcations of unstable eigenvalues in the systems of coupled NLS equations with cubic and saturable nonlinearities. ...
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 کاملInteraction of Bragg solitons in fiber gratings
We investigate numerically the interaction between two copropagating Bragg solitons in a fiber grating. We find that, in the low-intensity limit, the interaction is reminiscent of the nonlinear Schrödinger solitons in that Bragg solitons attract or repel each other, depending on their relative phases. However, the relative phase between two Bragg solitons is found to depend on their initial sep...
