Discrete quadratic solitons with competing second-harmonic components
We describe families of discrete solitons in quadratic waveguide arrays supported by competing cascaded nonlinear interactions between one fundamental and two second-harmonic modes. We characterize the existence, stability, and excitation dynamics of these solitons and show that their features may resemble those of solitons in saturable media. Our results also demonstrate that a power threshold...
متن کاملEmbedded Solitons in Second-Harmonic-Generating Systems
We present a new type of soliton, found in models characterized by opposing dispersions and competing nonlinearities at fundamental and second harmonics. They are isolated solitary waves, existing at discrete values of the propagation constant inside the system’s continuous spectrum. We show analytically, and verify by simulations, that the fundamental solitons are linearly stable. They can be ...
متن کاملSolitons due to second harmonic generation
It is shown that mutual trapping of the fundamental and second-harmonic waves in a dispersive medium with quadratic nonlinearity supports a variety of solitary waves including bright and dark solitons, solitons with trapped radiation, stable bound states of two (or more) solitons. The results are demonstrated for parametric interactions in optical ,$*I materials but can be generalized to other ...
متن کاملMobility of Discrete Solitons in Quadratic Nonlinear Media
We study the mobility of solitons in lattices with χ (2) (second-harmonic-generating) nonlinearity. Contrary to what is known for their χ (3) counterparts, we demonstrate that discrete quadratic solitons can be mobile not only in the one-dimensional (1D) setting, but also in two dimensions (2D), in any direction. We identify parametric regions where an initial kick applied to a soliton leads to...
متن کاملQuadratic solitons as nonlocal solitons.
We show that quadratic solitons are equivalent to solitons of a nonlocal Kerr medium. This provides new physical insight into the properties of quadratic solitons, often believed to be equivalent to solitons of an effective saturable Kerr medium. The nonlocal analogy also allows for analytical solutions and the prediction of bound states of quadratic solitons.
