Observation of localized modes at phase slips in two-dimensional photonic lattices.

چکیده
We experimentally study light localization at phase-slip waveguides and at the intersection of phase slips in a two-dimensional (2D) square photonic lattice. Such systems allow for the observation of a variety of effects, including the existence of spatially localized modes for low powers, the generation of strongly localized states in the form of discrete bulk and surface solitons, as well as a crossover between one-dimensional and 2D localization.

Nonlinear localized modes at phase slips in two-dimensional photonic lattices
We analyze the existence and stability of nonlinear modes localized at phase-slip waveguide channels and their intersections in two-dimensional photonic lattices with rectangular symmetry. While in linear lattices only one localized mode of this type may exist under special conditions, nonlinearity supports a variety of localized modes including the modes which bifurcate from the symmetric stat...
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 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 کاملInterface solitons in quadratic nonlinear photonic lattices
We study the properties of two-color nonlinear localized modes which may exist at the interfaces separating two different periodic photonic lattices in quadratic media, focusing on the impact of phase mismatch of the photonic lattices on the properties, stability, and threshold power requirements for the generation of interface localized modes. We employ both an effective discrete model and con...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal surface solitons in two-dimensional photonic lattices.
We analyze spatiotemporal light localization in truncated two-dimensional photonic lattices and demonstrate the existence of two-dimensional surface light bullets localized in the lattice corners or the edges. We study the families of the spatiotemporal surface solitons and their properties such as bistability and compare them with the modes located deep inside the photonic lattice.
