Surface 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 کاملObservation of two-dimensional coherent surface vector lattice solitons.
We report, to the best of our knowledge, the first experimental observation of vector surface solitons, which form at the edge and in the corner of two-dimensional laser-written waveguide arrays. These elliptically polarized vector states are composed of two orthogonally polarized components. They exist only above a power threshold and bifurcate from scalar surface solitons. The components of a...
متن کاملCounterpropagating surface solitons in two-dimensional photorefractive lattices
We study interaction of counterpropagating beams in truncated two-dimensional photonic lattices induced optically in photorefractive crystals, and demonstrate the existence of counterpropagating surface solitons localized in the lattice corners and at the edges. We display intriguing dynamical properties of such composite optical beams and reveal that the lattice surface provides a strong stabi...
متن کاملObservation of One- and Two-dimensional Discrete Surface Spatial Solitons
The recent theoretical predictions and experimental observations of discrete surface solitons propagating along the interface between a one-or two-dimensional continuous medium and a one-or two-dimensional waveguide array are reviewed. These discrete solitons were found in second order (periodically poled lithium niobate) and third order nonlinear media, including AlGaAs, photorefractive media ...
متن کاملDiscrete surface solitons in semi-infinite binary waveguide arrays.
We analyze discrete surface modes in semi-infinite binary waveguide arrays, which can support simultaneously two types of discrete solitons. We demonstrate that the analysis of linear surface states in such arrays provides important information about the existence of nonlinear surface modes and their properties. We find numerically the families of both discrete surface solitons and nonlinear Ta...
