Title

Nonlinear Optical Beam Interactions In Waveguide Arrays

Abstract

The Kerr nonlinear beam interactions in discrete systems are discussed. By performing numerical simulations of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the influence of power and the relative phase between two Gaussian shaped beams was investigated. The nonlinear effects are manifest at relatively low input intensities, for excitation of just a few channels. New phase-controlled effects, such as the scanning of localized beams across the array, were also observed.
