Discrete solitons and nonlinear surface modes in semi-infinite waveguide arrays

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We discuss the formation of self-trapped localized states near the edge of a semi-infinite array of nonlinear optical waveguides. We study a crossover from nonlinear surface states to discrete solitons by analyzing the families of odd and even modes centered at finite distances from the surface and reveal the physical mechanism of the nonlinearity-induced stabilization of surface modes.
