Nonlinear localized modes at phase-slip defects in waveguide arrays
Mario I. Molina, Yuri S. Kivshar
We study light localization at a phase-slip defect created by two semi-infinite mismatched identical arrays of coupled optical waveguides. We demonstrate that the nonlinear defect…
All-optical switching and multistability in photonic structures with liquid crystal defects
Andrey E. Miroshnichenko, Etienne Brasselet, Yuri S. Kivshar
We demonstrate that one-dimensional photonic crystals with pure nematic liquid-crystal defects can operate as all-optical switching devices based on optical orientational nonlinear…
Surface solitons in two-dimensional chirped photonic lattices
Mario I. Molina, Yaroslav V. Kartashov, Lluis Torner +1
We study surface modes in semi-infinite chirped two-dimensional photonic lattices in the frame- work of an effective discrete nonlinear model. We demonstrate that the lattice chirp…
Generation of the second-harmonic Bessel beams via nonlinear Bragg diffraction
Solomon M. Saltiel, Dragomir N. Neshev, Robert Fischer +3
We generate conical second-harmonic radiation by transverse excitation of a two-dimensional annular periodically-poled nonlinear photonic structure with a fundamental Gaussian beam…
Soliton transverse instabilities in nonlocal nonlinear media
YuanYao Lin, Ray-Kuang Lee, Yuri S. Kivshar
We analyze the transverse instabilities of spatial bright solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media, both analytically and numerically. We demonstrate that the nonlocal nonlinear respon…
Fano resonances at light scattering by an obstacle
Michael I. Tribelsky, Sergej Flach, Andrey E. Miroshnichenko +2
It is shown that elastic resonance scattering of light by a finite-size obstacle with weak dissipation is analogous to quantum scattering by a potential with quasi-discrete levels…
