Soliton stripes in two-dimensional nonlinear photonic lattices.

چکیده
We study experimentally the interaction of a soliton with a nonlinear lattice. We observe the formation of a novel type of composite soliton created by strong coupling of mutually incoherent periodic and localized beam components. By imposing an initial transverse momentum on the soliton stripe, we observe the effect of lattice compression and deformation.

Elimination of transverse instability in stripe solitons by one-dimensional lattices.
We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that the transverse instability of coherent soliton stripes can be greatly suppressed or totally eliminated when the soliton stripes propagate in a one-dimensional photonic lattice under self-defocusing nonlinearity.
متن کاملTwo-color surface solitons in two-dimensional quadratic photonic lattices
We study two-color surface solitons in two-dimensional photonic lattices with quadratic nonlinear response. We demonstrate that such parametrically coupled optical localized modes can exist in the corners or at the edges of a square photonic lattice, and we analyze the impact of the phase mismatch on their properties, stability, and the threshold power for their generation. © 2009 Optical Socie...
متن کاملDiscrete surface solitons in two-dimensional anisotropic photonic lattices
We study nonlinear surface modes in two-dimensional anisotropic periodic photonic lattices and demonstrate that, in a sharp contrast to onedimensional discrete surface solitons, the mode threshold power is lower at the surface, and two-dimensional discrete solitons can be generated easier near the lattice corners and edges. We analyze the crossover between effectively oneand two-dimensional reg...
متن کاملSurface solitons in two-dimensional quadratic photonic lattices
Two-dimensional surface solitons have been recently predicted to exist as novel types of discrete solitons localized in the corners or at the edges of two-dimensional photonic lattices. These theoretical predictions were followed by the experimental observation of twodimensional surface solitons in optically-induced photonic lattices and waveguide arrays laser-written in fused silica. Important...
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...
