Solitary waves in plasmonic Bragg gratings

Pattern Formation and Solitons 2011-01-04 v1 Optics

Abstract

Light propagation in a Bragg periodic structure containing thin films with metallic nanoparticles is studied. Plasmonic resonance frequency, Bragg frequency, and light carrier frequency are assumed to be close. Exact solutions describing solitary gap-waves are found, and a light arrest phenomenon due to nonlinearity of plasmonic oscillations is studied.
