Solitons are studied in a model of a fiber Bragg grating (BG) whose local reflectivity is subjected to periodic modulation. The superlattice opens an infinite number of new bandgaps in the model's spectrum. Averaging and numerical…
We study the motion of gap solitons in two models of apodized nonlinear fiber Bragg gratings (BGs), with the local reflectivity (LR) varying along the fiber. A single step of LR, and a periodic array of alternating steps with opposite signs…
We analyze the existence, stability, and mobility of gap solitons (GSs) in a periodic photonic structure built into a nonlocal self-defocusing medium. Counter-intuitively, the GSs are supported even by a highly nonlocal nonlinearity, which…
