Self-trapping and stable localized modes in nonlinear photonic crystals
arXiv:cond-mat/0102066 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.5474
Abstract
We predict the existence of stable nonlinear localized modes near the band edge of a two-dimensional reduced-symmetry photonic crystal with a Kerr nonlinearity. Employing the technique based on the Green function, we reveal a physical mechanism of the mode stabilization associated with the effective nonlinear dispersion and long-range interaction in the photonic crystals.
