Observation of Discrete Surface Solitons
Open accessAbstract
We report the first observation of discrete optical surface solitons at the interface between a nonlinear self-focusing waveguide lattice and a continuous medium. The effect of power on the localization process of these optical self-trapped states at the edge of an AlGaAs waveguide array is investigated in detail. Our experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions.

The shallow refractive index modulation in waveguide arrays facilitates nonlinear optical surface waves, allowing observation at moderate power levels at the edge of semi-infinite arrays in 1D and 2D.
“the relatively shallow refractive index modulation in waveguide arrays facilitates the formation of nonlinear optical surface waves significantly and they can be observed already at moderate power levels at the edge of semi-infinite arrays in the 1D [85,86] as well as in the twodimensional case [87][88][89].”

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.
