Slow Bragg solitons in nonlinear periodic structures
Abstract
We show that a new class of optical solitons is possible in nonlinear periodic structures. These waves can propagate undistorted even though their power spectra lie well within the frequency band gap of the periodic structure and even though their carrier frequency is very close to the Bragg resonance. Analysis shows that these Bragg solitons can exhibit velocities which are orders of magnitude lower than the speed of light in the unperturbed medium.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
