Optical solitons due to quadratic nonlinearities: from basic physics to futuristic applications

AV Buryak, P Di Trapani, DV Skryabin, S Trillo - Physics Reports, 2002 - Elsevier
We present an overview of nonlinear phenomena related to optical quadratic solitons—
intrinsically multi-component localized states of light, which can exist in media without …

Multifrequency solitons in commensurate-incommensurate photonic moiré lattices

YV Kartashov, F Ye, VV Konotop, L Torner - Physical review letters, 2021 - APS
We predict that photonic moiré patterns created by two mutually twisted periodic sublattices
in quadratic nonlinear media allow the formation of parametric solitons under conditions that …

Solitons in a coupled system of fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equations

L Zeng, MR Belić, D Mihalache, J Li, D Xiang… - Physica D: Nonlinear …, 2023 - Elsevier
Interest in physical systems with fractional derivatives has exploded in the 21st century.
Similarly, interest in the localized excitations of nonlinear dynamical systems continues to …

Multicolor vortex solitons in two-dimensional photonic lattices

Z Xu, YV Kartashov, LC Crasovan, D Mihalache… - Physical Review E …, 2005 - APS
We report on the existence and stability of multicolor lattice vortex solitons constituted by
coupled fundamental frequency and second-harmonic waves in optical lattices in quadratic …

Global existence and compact attractors for the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation

NI Karachalios, AN Yannacopoulos - Journal of Differential Equations, 2005 - Elsevier
We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of discrete nonlinear Schrödinger-type
(DNLS) equations. For a conservative system, we consider the global in time solvability and …

Solitons in triangular and honeycomb dynamical lattices with the cubic nonlinearity

PG Kevrekidis, BA Malomed, YB Gaididei - Physical Review E, 2002 - APS
We study the existence and stability of localized states in the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger
equation on two-dimensional nonsquare lattices. The model includes both the nearest …

Floquet edge multicolor solitons

SK Ivanov, YV Kartashov, A Szameit… - Laser & Photonics …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Topological insulators are unique physical structures that are insulators in their bulk, but
support currents at their edges which can be unidirectional and topologically protected from …

Mobility of discrete solitons in quadratically nonlinear media

H Susanto, PG Kevrekidis, R Carretero-González… - Physical review …, 2007 - APS
We study the mobility of solitons in lattices with quadratic (χ (2), alias second-harmonic-
generating) nonlinearity. Using the notion of the Peierls-Nabarro potential and systematic …

-symmetric coupler with nonlinearity

K Li, DA Zezyulin, PG Kevrekidis, VV Konotop… - Physical Review A …, 2013 - APS
We introduce the notion of a PT-symmetric dimer with a χ (2) nonlinearity. Similarly to the
Kerr case, we argue that such a nonlinearity should be accessible in a pair of optical …
