Title
Dissipative Photonic Lattice Solitons
Abstract
We show that discrete dissipative optical lattice solitons are possible in waveguide array configurations that involve periodically patterned semiconductor optical amplifiers and saturable absorbers. The characteristics of these low-power soliton states are investigated, and their propagation constant eigenvalues are mapped on Floquet–Bloch band diagrams. The prospect of observing such low-power dissipative lattice solitons is discussed in detail. © 2004 Optical Society of America.
