چکیده
We analyze nonlinear collective effects in periodic systems with multigap transmission spectra such as light in waveguide arrays or Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices. We reveal that the interband interactions in nonlinear periodic structures can be efficiently managed by controlling their geometry. We predict novel types of discrete vector solitons supported by nonlinear coupling between different band gaps and study their stability.

Interaction of counterpropagating discrete solitons in a nonlinear one-dimensional waveguide array.
We experimentally investigate the interaction of counterpropagating discrete solitons in a one-dimensional waveguide array in photorefractive lithium niobate. While for low input powers only weak interaction and formation of counterpropagating vector solitons are observed, for higher input powers a growing instability results in discrete lateral shifting of the formed discrete solitons. Numeric...
متن کاملFormation of discrete solitons in light-induced photonic lattices.
We present both experimental and theoretical results on discrete solitons in two-dimensional optically-induced photonic lattices in a variety of settings, including fundamental discrete solitons, vector-like discrete solitons, discrete dipole solitons, and discrete soliton trains. In each case, a clear transition from two-dimensional discrete diffraction to discrete trapping is demonstrated wit...
متن کاملSurface multi-gap vector solitons.
We analyze nonlinear collective effects near surfaces of semi-infinite periodic systems with multi-gap transmission spectra and introduce a novel concept of multi-gap surface solitons as mutually trapped surface states with the components associated with different spectral gaps. We find numerically discrete surface modes in semi-infinite binary waveguide arrays which can support simultaneously ...
متن کاملDiscrete solitons in photorefractive optically induced photonic lattices.
We demonstrate that optical discrete solitons are possible in appropriately oriented biased photorefractive crystals. This can be accomplished in optically induced periodic waveguide lattices that are created via plane-wave interference. Our method paves the way towards the observation of entirely new families of discrete solitons. These include, for example, discrete solitons in two-dimensiona...
متن کاملVector Solitons and Their Internal Oscillations in Birefringent Nonlinear Optical Fibers
In this article, the vector solitons in birefringent nonlinear optical fibers are studied first. Special attention is given to the single-hump vector solitons due to evidences that only they are stable. Questions such as the existence, uniqueness, and total number of these solitons are addressed. It is found that the total number of them is continuously infinite and their polarizations can be a...
