Generation and stability of discrete gap solitons
We analyze stability and generation of discrete gap solitons in weakly
coupled optical waveguides. We demonstrate how both stable and unstable
solitons can be observed experimentally in the engineered binary waveguide
arrays, and also reveal a connection between the gap-soliton instabilities and
limitations on the mutual beam focusing in periodic photonic structures.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figure
