Subwavelength discrete solitons in nonlinear metamaterials.
We present the first study of subwavelength discrete solitons in nonlinear metamaterials: nanoscaled periodic structures consisting of metal and nonlinear dielectric slabs. The solitons supported by such media result from a balance between tunneling of surface plasmon modes and nonlinear self-trapping. The dynamics in such systems, arising from the threefold interplay between periodicity, nonli...
متن کاملDiscrete and surface solitons in photonic graphene nanoribbons.
We analyze localization of light in honeycomb photonic lattices restricted in one dimension, which can be regarded as an optical analog of graphene nanoribbons. We discuss the effect of lattice topology on the properties of discrete solitons excited inside the lattice and at its edges. We discuss a type of soliton bistability, geometry-induced bistability, in the lattices of a finite extent.
متن کاملTunable surface-plasmon-polariton-like modes based on graphene metamaterials in terahertz region
Plasmonic response in graphene-based metamaterials show great potential for terahertz (THz) wave manipulation. In this work, we study the tunable surface-plasmon-polariton-like modes based on graphene complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) in THz region. Our study suggests that these modes can be generated by graphene plasmonic metamaterials due to the diffraction coupling of surface plasm...
متن کاملSpatial solitons in nonlinear left-handed metamaterials
We predict that left-handed metamaterials with nonlinear response can support both TEand TM-polarized self-trapped localized beams, or spatial electromagnetic solitons. Such solitons appear as singleand multi-hump beams, being either symmetric or antisymmetric, and they are modified dramatically by the hysteresis-type magnetic nonlinearity and the effective domains of negative magnetic permeabi...
متن کاملGap solitons in metamaterials
Electromagnetic localization and existence of gap solitons in nonlinear metamaterials, which exhibit a stop band in their linear spectral response, is theoretically investigated. For a self-focusing Kerr nonlinearity, the equation for the electric field envelope with carrier frequency in the stop band where the magnetic permeability μ(ω) is positive and the dielectric permittivity ǫ(ω) is negat...
