Rational solitons in deep nonlinear optical Bragg grating

Abstract

We have examined the rational solitons in the Generalized Coupled Mode model for a deep nonlinear Bragg grating. These solitons are the degenerate forms of the ordinary solitons and appear at the transition lines in the parameter plane. A simple formulation is presented for the investigation of the bifurcations induced by detuning the carrier wave frequency. The analysis yields among others the appearance of in-gap dark and antidark rational solitons unknown in the nonlinear shallow grating. The exact expressions for the corresponding rational solitons are also derived in the process, which are characterized by rational algebraic functions. It is further demonstrated that certain effects in the soliton energy variations are to be expected when the frequency is varied across the values where the rational solitons appear.

Energy localization and transport in binary waveguide arrays

“…We consider also a binary Kerr nonlinearity and we look for self-sustained nonlinear propagation in the form of gap solitons in such a structure. Specifically, extending previously derived results [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], we obtain in the continuum limit exact analytical solutions for both stationary and "walking" gap solitons moving along the spatial coordinate with a tunable velocity.…”

Trapped photons at a Dirac point: a new horizon for photonic crystals

“…Both of these outcomes result in the same type of traditional optical modes, with a field profile that decays exponentially in space. In addition, localized modes with power‐law asymptotic behavior have been studied previously in the context of nonlinear systems, where algebraic solitons arise mathematically from a particular limit of hyperbolic solitons . However, such modes have not been observed in linear optics, so far.…”

“…It is worth to note here that the existence of solitons for the nondiffractive cases with D = 0 have been intensively discussed in Refs. [21][22][23].…”
