Modulational instability and solitons in a periodic dissipative feedback system
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review our recent experimental results on control of the modulational instability, pattern formation, and solitons in a nonlinear discrete dissipative feedback system. We show that the discreetness and bandgap effects can provide efficient control of the nonlinear instability modes of the system. Furthermore, we explore the possibilities for excitation of dissipative discrete solitons in such system through seeding with a narrow addressing beam.

Experimental control of pattern formation by photonic lattices.
We study the control of modulational instability and pattern formation in a nonlinear dissipative feedback system with a periodic modulation of the material refractive index. We use a one-dimensional photonic lattice in a single-mirror feedback configuration and identify three mechanisms for pattern control: bandgap suppression of instability modes, periodicity induced pattern modes, and orient...

We study light propagation in arrays of weakly coupled nonlinear cavities driven by an inclined holding beam.We show analytically that both discreteness and inclination of the driving field can dramatically change the conditions for modulational instability in discrete nonlinear systems. We find numerically the families of resting and moving dissipative solitons for an arbitrary inclination ang...

In this paper, we investigate analytically and numerically the modulational instability in a model of nonlinear physical systems like nonlinear periodic lattices. This model is described by the discrete complex cubic quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation with non-local quintic term. We produce characteristics of the modulational instability in the form of typical dependences of the instability growt...
متن کاملGradient induced motion control of drifting solitary structures in a nonlinear optical single feedback experiment.
We realize an absolute position control of drifting dissipative optical solitons by injecting an incoherent amplitude parameter gradient onto the nonlinear optical system. This allows for two-dimensional, arbitrary control patterns. The control of the soliton drift velocity is studied applying a periodic, hexagonally shaped modulation. The guiding of dissipative solitons by one- and two-dimensi...
متن کاملEffect of Nonlinear Gradient Terms on the Dynamics of Solitons in the Cubic-Quintic Complex Ginzburg-Landau Equation
The modulational instability of the one-dimensional cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with the nonlinear gradient terms is investigated. The presence of the nonlinear gradient terms modifies the modulational instability gain spectrum. We numerically investigate the dynamics of modulational instability in the presence of the nonlinear gradient terms. It is found that they introduce ...
