Soliton dynamics and interactions in dynamically photoinduced lattices.

The dynamics of a spatial soliton pulse and interactions under the presence of a linear periodic wave (PW), which dynamically induces a photonic lattice, is investigated. It is shown that appropriate selections of the characteristic parameters of the PW result in different soliton propagation and interaction scenarios, suggesting a reconfigurable soliton control mechanism. The quasiparticle perturbation method is utilized for providing a dynamical system, governing the soliton parameters evolution, for single- and two-soliton propagation under generic conditions for the PW. Results of the perturbation method are shown in good agreement with direct numerical simulations.

Continuous-wave-controlled nonlinear x-wave generation.

We demonstrate that the interaction between a two-dimensional localized wave packet and a continuous-wave background can lead to efficient x-wave generation in nonlinear bidispersive optical systems. This x-wave generation process was found to depend on both the relative phase and amplitude of the background with respect to the superimposed wave packet. Pertinent configurations that lead to such generation are considered.
