Power dependent switching of nonlinear trapping by local photonic potentials
arXiv:0801.4687 · doi:10.1364/OL.33.001056
Abstract
We study experimentally and numerically the nonlinear scattering of wave packets by local multi-site guiding centers embedded in a continuous dielectric medium, as a function of the input power and angle of incidence. The extent of trapping into the linear modes of different sites is manipulated as a function of both the input power and incidence angle, demonstrating power-controlled switching of nonlinear trapping by local photonic potentials.
