Optical Gap Solitons in Nonresonant Quadratic Media

patt-sol 2009-10-31 v1 Pattern Formation and Solitons

Abstract

We demonstrate an important role of the process of optical rectification in the theory of nonlinear wave propagation in quadratically nonlinear [or χ(2)\chi^{(2)} ] periodic optical media. We derive a novel physical model for gap solitons in χ(2)\chi^{(2)} nonlinear Bragg gratings.
