Observation of two-dimensional lattice interface solitons

Optics 2009-11-13 v1 Pattern Formation and Solitons

Abstract

We report on the experimental observation of two-dimensional solitons at the interface between square and hexagonal waveguide arrays. In addition to the different symmetry of the lattices, the influence of a varying refractive index modulation depth is investigated. Such variation strongly affects the properties of surface solitons residing at different sides of the interface.
