Gap Soliton
نویسنده
چکیده
Gap solitons refer to intense nonlinear optical pulse propagation in periodic variation fiber. This paper is a brief survey and updates some of recent research in gap solitons. The theory of gap solitons by D.Mills [1] has been reviewed. The first experiment demonstration of gap (Bragg) solitons by Eggleton et al [2] has been discussed.

Experimental characterization of optical-gap solitons in a one-dimensional photonic crystal made of a corrugated semiconductor planar waveguide
We fully characterize the stationary spatial-gap soliton through the measurement of the phase function of its nearly periodic transverse intensity distribution. The spatial-gap soliton is generated in one-dimensional photonic crystal consisting of a corrugated semiconductor planar optical waveguide. The measured phase function allows us to determine the detuning parameter that provides the posi...
متن کاملGap-soliton bullets in waveguide gratings
We derive a perturbed two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation which describes the propagation of gap-soliton bullets in nonlinear periodic waveguides at frequencies close to the gap for Bragg reflection. Analysis and simulations of this equation show that the bullets amplitude undergoes stable focusing–defocusing cycles. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملGap-solitons in a three-layered stratified flow
In this paper, we give an explicit asymptotic construction of a class of solitary waves, widely known as gap-solitons in other physical contexts, for a certain three-layered fluid flow. The essential ingredients are the existence of a spectral gap between two branches of the dispersion relation, and the development of a set of envelope equations to describe weakly nonlinear waves, whose carrier...
متن کاملSoliton dynamics in deformable nonlinear lattices.
We describe wave propagation and soliton localization in photonic lattices, which are induced in a nonlinear medium by an optical interference pattern, taking into account the inherent lattice deformations at the soliton location. We obtain exact analytical solutions and identify the key factors defining soliton mobility, including the effects of gap merging and lattice imbalance, underlying th...
متن کاملUnstable gap solitons in inhomogeneous Schrödinger equations
A periodically inhomogeneous Schrödinger equation is considered. The inhomogeneity is reflected through a non-uniform coefficient of the linear and non-linear term in the equation. Due to the periodic inhomogeneity of the linear term, the system may admit spectral bands. When the oscillation frequency of a localized solution resides in one of the finite band gaps, the solution is a gap soliton,...
