Discrete light localization in one dimensional nonlinear lattices with arbitrary non locality
arXiv:nlin/0509011 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.72.066608
Abstract
We model discrete spatial solitons in a periodic nonlinear medium encompassing any degree of transverse non locality. Making a convenient reference to a widely used material -nematic liquid crystals-, we derive a new form of the discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation and find a novel family of discrete solitons. Such self-localized solutions in optical lattices can exist with an arbitrary degree of imprinted chirp and a have breathing character. We verify numerically that both local and non local discrete light propagation and solitons can be observed in liquid crystalline arrays.
