Journal ArticleDOI
Solitary waves due to χ (2) :χ (2) cascading
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive description of all the solitary-wave solutions of the basic equations that can be expressed as a simple sum of a constant term, a term proportional to a power of the hyperbolic secant, and a term proportionally proportional to the power of a polygonal tangent is given.
Journal ArticleDOI
One-dimensional spatial solitary waves due to cascaded second-order nonlinearities in planar waveguides
TL;DR: An experimental observation of one-dimensional spatial solitary waves due to cascaded second-order optical nonlinearities is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of discrete quadratic solitons.
R. Iwanow,Roland Schiek,George I. Stegeman,Thomas Pertsch,F. Lederer,Yoohong Min,Wolfgang Sohler +6 more
TL;DR: Optical experiments have been performed in arrays of coupled channel waveguides with tunable cascaded quadratic nonlinearity with good agreement with theoretical predictions, andrete solitons with two frequency components mutually locked by a Quadratic Nonlinearity are observed for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear refraction caused by cascaded second-order nonlinearity in optical waveguide structures
TL;DR: In this article, a coupled-mode theory in the frequency domain is used to investigate theoretically the application of this new nonlinear index of refraction for realizing intensity-dependent temporal and spatial light-field evolution in waveguide structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of discrete quadratic surface solitons
Georgios A. Siviloglou,Konstantinos G. Makris,R. Iwanow,Roland Schiek,Demetrios N. Christodoulides,George I. Stegeman,Yoohong Min,W. Sohler +7 more
TL;DR: This is the first observation of discrete quadratic surface solitons in self-focusing and defocusing periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide arrays and the first experimental demonstration of staggered/gap surfacesolitons at the interface of a semi-infinite nonlinear lattice.
