Revisiting the PT-symmetric Trimer: Bifurcations, Ghost States and Associated Dynamics

K. Li, P. G. Kevrekidis, D. J. Frantzeskakis +2

In this paper, we revisit one of the prototypical PT-symmetric oligomers, namely the trimer. We find all the relevant branches of "regular" solutions and analyze the bifurcations a…

Multi-stable regime and intermediate solutions in a nonlinear saturable coupler

Diego Guzmán-Silva, Cibo Lou, Uta Naether +3

We show, theoretically and experimentally, the existence of a multi-stable regime in a nonlinear saturable coupler. In spite of its simplicity, we found that this model shows gener…

Dark lattice solitons in one-dimensional waveguide arrays with defocusing saturable nonlinearities and alternating couplings

Andrey Kanshu, Christian E. Rüter, Detlef Kip +2

In the present work, we examine "binary" waveguide arrays, where the coupling between adjacent sites alternates between two distinct values and and a saturable nonlinea…

Dark-bright gap solitons in coupled-mode one-dimensional saturable waveguide arrays

Rong Dong, Christian E. Rüter, Detlef Kip +4

In the present work, we consider the dynamics of dark solitons as one mode of a defocusing photorefractive lattice coupled with bright solitons as a second mode of the lattice. Our…

Observation of higher-order solitons in defocusing waveguide arrays

Eugene Smirnov, Christian E. Ruter, Detlef Kip +2

We observe experimentally higher-order solitons in waveguide arrays with defocusing saturable nonlinearity. Such solitons can comprise several in-phase bright spots and are stable…

Tamm oscillations in semi-infinite nonlinear waveguide arrays

Milutin Stepić, Christian E. Rüter, Eugene Smirnov +3

We demonstrate numerically the existence of nonlinear Tamm oscillations at the interface between a substrate and one-dimensional waveguide array with both cubic and saturable, self…

Formation and light guiding properties of dark solitons in one-dimensional waveguide arrays

Eugene Smirnov, Christian E. Rueter, Milutin Stepic +2

We report on the formation of dark discrete solitons in a nonlinear periodic system consisting of evanescently-coupled channel waveguides that are fabricated in defocusing lithium…

Beam interactions in one-dimensional saturable waveguide arrays

Milutin Stepic, Eugene Smirnov, Christian E. Rueter +2

The interaction between two parallel beams in one-dimensional discrete saturable systems has been investigated using lithium niobate nonlinear waveguide arrays. When the beams are…
