Optical gap solitons and truncated nonlinear Bloch waves in temporal lattices.
We experimentally demonstrate the formation and stable propagation of various types of discrete temporal solitons in an optical fiber system. Pulses interacting with a time-periodic potential and defocusing nonlinearity are shown to form gap solitons and nonlinear truncated Bloch waves. Multi-pulse solitons with defects, as well as novel structures composed of a strong soliton riding on a weake...

We analyze the Floquet-Bloch matter-wave spectrum of Bose-Einstein condensates loaded into single-periodic optical lattices and double-periodic superlattices. In the framework of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, we describe the structure and analyze the mobility properties of dark matter-wave solitons residing on the background of extended nonlinear Bloch-type states. We demonstrate that interact...
متن کاملMobility and interaction of matter-wave solitons in optical lattices
Localization of matter waves in optical lattices is possible due to the balance of nonlinearity and dispersion which is modified by the band-gap spectrum of matter waves in a periodic potential. Nonlinear localization of a Bose-Einstein condensate with repulsive interatomic interactions loaded into a onedimensional (1D) optical lattice can occur in the form of both bright and dark solitons. Dar...
متن کاملSoliton switching and Bloch-wave filtering in periodic photonic lattices
The study of nonlinear light propagation in periodic photonic structures recently attracted strong interest because it presents the unique possibility of observing experimentally an interplay between the effects of nonlinearity and periodicity. Fabricated nonlinear periodic structures such as arrays of coupled nonlinear optical waveguides can simultaneously support distinctive types of self-tra...
متن کاملInstability-induced localization of matter waves in moving optical lattices
By using a one-dimensional nonpolynomial nonlinear mean-field model, we numerically analyze the process of the loading of the Bose-Einstein condensate into a moving one-dimensional optical lattice. We demonstrate that the recently observed dynamical instability of the Bloch states of a repulsive condensate in a moving optical lattice can lead to formation of trains of spatially localized wave p...
