Mid-Band Dissipative Spatial Solitons

Optics 2009-11-10 v1 Soft Condensed Matter Pattern Formation and Solitons

Abstract

We show dissipative spatial solitons in nonlinear optical micro-resonators in which the refractive index is laterally modulated. In addition to "normal" and "staggered" dissipative solitons, similar to those in spatially modulated conservative systems, a narrow "mid-band" soliton is shown, having no counterparts in conservative systems.
