Dissipative photonic lattice solitons

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We show that discrete dissipative optical lattice solitons are possible in waveguide array configurations that involve periodically patterned semiconductor optical amplifiers and saturable absorbers. The characteristics of these low-power soliton states are investigated, and their propagation constant eigenvalues are mapped on Floquet–Bloch band diagrams. The prospect of observing such low-power dissipative lattice solitons is discussed in detail.
