    Localized gap modes in nonlinear dimerized Lieb lattices2017In: Physical Review A: covering atomic, molecular, and optical physics and quantum information, ISSN 2469-9926, E-ISSN 2469-9934, Vol. 96, no 6, article id 063838Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Compact localized modes of ring type exist in many two-dimensional lattices with a flat linear band, such as the Lieb lattice. The uniform Lieb lattice is gapless, but gaps surrounding the flat band can be induced by various types of bond alternations (dimerizations) without destroying the compact linear eigenmodes. Here, we investigate the conditions under which such diffractionless modes can be formed and propagated also in the presence of a cubic on-site (Kerr) nonlinearity. For the simplest type of dimerization with a three-site unit cell, nonlinearity destroys the exact compactness, but strongly localized modes with frequencies inside the gap are still found to propagate stably for certain regimes of system parameters. By contrast, introducing a dimerization with a 12-site unit cell, compact (diffractionless) gap modes are found to exist as exact nonlinear solutions in continuation of flat band linear eigenmodes. These modes appear to be generally weakly unstable, but dynamical simulations show parameter regimes where localization would persist for propagation lengths much larger than the size of typical experimental waveguide array configurations. Our findings represent an attempt to realize conditions for full control of light propagation in photonic environments.

    Localized modes in nonlinear binary kagome ribbons2015In: Physical Review E. Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics, ISSN 1539-3755, E-ISSN 1550-2376, Vol. 92, no 5, p. 052916-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The localized mode propagation in binary nonlinear kagome ribbons is investigated with the premise to ensure controlled light propagation through photonic lattice media. Particularity of the linear system characterized by the dispersionless flat band in the spectrum is the opening of new minigaps due to the "binarism." Together with the presence of nonlinearity, this determines the guiding mode types and properties. Nonlinearity destabilizes the staggered rings found to be nondiffracting in the linear system, but can give rise to dynamically stable ringlike solutions of several types: unstaggered rings, low-power staggered rings, hour-glass-like solutions, and vortex rings with high power. The type of solutions, i.e., the energy and angular momentum circulation through the nonlinear lattice, can be controlled by suitable initial excitation of the ribbon. In addition, by controlling the system "binarism" various localized modes can be generated and guided through the system, owing to the opening of the minigaps in the spectrum. All these findings offer diverse technical possibilities, especially with respect to the high-speed optical communications and high-power lasers.

    Light Localization in Nonlinear Binary Two-Dimensional Lieb Lattices2016In: Abstract Book of RIAO-OPTILAS 2016 / [ed] Moraga, P. and Saavedra, C, Concepción - Chile: CEFOP-UdeC , 2016, p. 80-80Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Light localization in photonic lattices (PLs) is a well-known phenomenon which has been investigated during decades. It has been shown that light localization in the linear regime can be achieved by designing PLs with specific geometries, instead of embedding defects or disorder in otherwise periodic lattices [1]. These geometries provide conditions necessary for destructive wave interference, leading to formation of a perfectly flat (dispersionless) energy band. Eigenvectors associated to the flat-band (FB) eigenfrequencies are entirely degenerate and compact states (FB modes) and any superposition of them is nondiffracting. One of the simplest FB lattice patterns is the two-dimensional (2D) Lieb lattice [2,3] in which the primitive cell contains three sites. By appropriate spatial repetition of this fundamental block, it is possible to achieve a FB in the energy spectrum. Light confinement in PLs can also be a consequence of the interplay between nonlinearity and diffraction when these effects cancel each other, leading to formation of solitons. Recently, it has been reported that nonlinearity and “binarism” in quasi-one-dimensional FB systems can increase the range of existence and stability of FB ring modes [4].

    We model a 2D binary Lieb lattice with nonlinearity of Kerr type and analyse numerically and analytically the existence, stability and dynamical properties of various localized modes found to emerge in spectrum. From the derived dispersion relation we found that binarism does not affect the FB. However, due to the presence of additional periodicity, new gaps occur in the energy spectrum above and below the FB and their widths depend on the ratio between coupling constants. Like in the uniform Lieb lattice, we found eigenmodes in the form of a staggered four-peak “ring” structure, but only under certain conditions which require a particular relation between the field amplitudes in neighbouring sites. In the nonlinear regime, ring modes survive in the uniform Lieb lattice but lose their stability moving away from the FB. On the other hand, nonlinearity destroys the existence of ring solutions in the binary Lieb lattice, leading to a new class of stable localized solutions which can be found in minigaps. As in previous kagome and ladder binary nonlinear strips [4], it is shown that the binarism increases the existence range of stable nonlinear localized solutions.

    On localized modes in nonlinear binary kagome ribbons2015Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    One of the attractive two-dimensional [2D] lattice configurations is characterized by kagome geometry. The specific arrangement of its elements, i.e. waveguides, in the form of periodic hexagons renders completely flat the first energy band in linear case. As a consequence, the localized ring-like eigenmodes belonging to the lowest energy state propagate without diffraction through the system [1, 2]. Here we study kagome ribbon [3], which can be interpreted as one-dimensional counterpart of the standard 2D kagome lattice, and can be fabricated by dint of the direct femtosecond laser inscription [4, 5].

    The existence, stability and dynamical properties of various localized modes in binary kagome ribbon with defocusing Kerr type of nonlinearity have been explored, both numerically and analytically. We derived the corresponding dispersion relation and the bandgap spectrum, confirmed the opening of mini-gaps in it and found several types of stable ring-like modes to exist: staggered, unstaggered and vortex. Beside these nonlinear mode configurations occurring in a semi-infinite gap, we investigated features of "hourglass" solutions, identified in [3] as interesting structures when kagome lattice dimensionality is reduced to 1D. In nonlinear binary kagome ribbon dynamically stable propagation of unstaggered rings, vortex modes with certain topological charge and hourglass solutions are observed, while the staggered ring solutions are destabilized. In addition, we examined possibility to generate stable propagating solitary modes inside the first mini-gap and found that these mode patterns localize within sites mutually coupled by smaller coupling constant. The last feature is opposite to the nonlinear localized solutions found in the semi-infinite gap.

    Discrete gap breathers in a diatomic Klein-Gordon chain: Stability and mobility2003In: Physical Review E. Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics: Statistical Physics, Plasmas, Fluids, and Related Interdisciplinary Topics, ISSN 1063-651X, E-ISSN 1095-3787, Vol. 67, no 6Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A one-dimensional diatomic chain with harmonic intersite potential and nonlinear external potential is considered (the Klein-Gordon model). Localized solutions of the corresponding nonlinear differential equations with frequencies inside the gap of the linear wave spectrum-"gap breathers"-are studied numerically. The linear stability analysis for these solutions is performed while changing the system parameters from the anticontinuous to the continuous limit. Two different types of solutions are considered: symmetric centered at a heavy atom and antisymmetric centered at a light atom, respectively. Different mechanisms of instability, oscillatory as well as nonoscillatory, of the gap breathers are studied, and the influence of the instabilities on the breather solutions is investigated in the dynamics simulations. In particular, the presence of an "inversion of stability" regime, with simultaneous nonoscillatory instabilities of symmetric and antisymmetric solutions with respect to antisymmetric perturbations, is found, yielding practically radiationless mobility.

    Gap and out-gap breathers in a binary modulated discrete nonlinear Schrödinger model2004In: European Physical Journal D: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, ISSN 1434-6060, E-ISSN 1434-6079, Vol. 29, no 1, p. 77-93Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We consider a modulated discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) model with alternating on-site potential, having a linear spectrum with two branches separated by a 'forbidden' gap. Nonlinear localized time-periodic solutions with frequencies in the gap and near the gap - discrete gap and out-gap breathers (DGBs and DOGBs) - are investigated. Their linear stability is studied varying the system parameters from the continuous to the anti-continuous limit, and different types of oscillatory and real instabilities are revealed. It is shown, that generally DGBs in infinite modulated DNLS chains with hard (soft) non-linearity do not possess any oscillatory instabilities for breather frequencies in the lower (upper) half of the gap. Regimes of 'exchange of stability' between symmetric and antisymmetric DGBs are observed, where an increased breather mobility is expected. The transformation from DGBs to DOGBs when the breather frequency enters the linear spectrum is studied, and the general bifurcation picture for DOGBs with tails of different wave numbers is described. Close to the anti-continuous limit, the localized linear eigenmodes and their corresponding eigenfrequencies are calculated analytically for several gap/out-gap breather configurations, yielding explicit proof of their linear stability or instability close to this limit.

    Charge Flipping Vortices in DNLS trimer and hexamer2015In: PHOTONICA 2015.

    Abstract [en]

    We examine the existence and properties of Charge Flipping Vortices (CFVs), rtices which periodically flip the topological charge, in three-site (trimer) and six-site (hexamer) discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) lattices. We demonstrate numerically that CFVs exist as exact quasiperiodic solutions in continuous families which connect two different stationary solutions without topological charge, and that it is possible to interpret the dynamics of certain CFVs as the result of perturbations of these stationary solutions. The CFVs are calculated with high numerical accuracy and we may therefore accurately determine many of their properties, such as their energy and linear stability, and the CFVs are found to be stable over large parameter regimes.

    We also show that, like in earlier studies for lattices with a multiple of four sites, trimer and hexamer CFVs can be obtained by perturbing stationary constant amplitude vortices with certain linear eigenmodes. However, in contrast to the former case where the perturbation could be infinitesimal, the magnitude of the perturbations for trimers and hexamers must overcome a quite large threshold value. These CFVs may be interpreted as exact quasiperiodic CFVs, with a small perturbation applied to. The concept of a charge flipping energy barrier is introduced and discussed.

    Discrete breathers for a discrete nonlinear Schrodinger ring coupled to a central site2016In: Physical Review E. Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics: Statistical Physics, Plasmas, Fluids, and Related Interdisciplinary Topics, ISSN 1063-651X, E-ISSN 1095-3787, Vol. 93, no 1, p. 012219-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We examine the existence and properties of certain discrete breathers for a discrete nonlinear Schrodinger model where all but one site are placed in a ring and coupled to the additional central site. The discrete breathers we focus on are stationary solutions mainly localized on one or a few of the ring sites and possibly also the central site. By numerical methods, we trace out and study the continuous families the discrete breathers belong to. Our main result is the discovery of a split bifurcation at a critical value of the coupling between neighboring ring sites. Below this critical value, families form closed loops in a certain parameter space, implying that discrete breathers with and without central-site occupation belong to the same family. Above the split bifurcation the families split up into several separate ones, which bifurcate with solutions with constant ring amplitudes. For symmetry reasons, the families have different properties below the split bifurcation for even and odd numbers of sites. It is also determined under which conditions the discrete breathers are linearly stable. The dynamics of some simpler initial conditions that approximate the discrete breathers are also studied and the parameter regimes where the dynamics remain localized close to the initially excited ring site are related to the linear stability of the exact discrete breathers.

    Exact localized eigenstates for an extended Bose-Hubbard model with pair-correlated hopping2012In: Physical Review A. Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics, ISSN 1050-2947, E-ISSN 1094-1622, Vol. 85, no 1, p. 016603(R)-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We show that a Bose-Hubbard model extended with pair-correlated hopping has exact eigenstates, quantum lattice compactons, with complete single-site localization. These appear at parameter values where the one-particle tunneling is exactly canceled by nonlocal pair correlations, and correspond in a classical limit to compact solutions of an extended discrete nonlinear Schrödinger model. Classical compactons at other parameter values, as well as multisite compactons, generically get delocalized by quantum effects, but strong localization appears asymptotically for increasing particle number.

    Existence, dynamics and mobility of Quantum Compactons in an extended Bose-Hubbard model2014Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Lattice Compactons, discrete breathers with compact support, were found for a discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation extended with nearest neighbour intersite nonlinearities [1], a model originally studied with waveguide arrays in mind. These compactons were shown to exhibit very good mobility if the parameters are tuned close to the compactons stability boundary. The DNLS can also be used to model the behaviour of Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices, and the remarkable control over the experiments in this field of research has made it possible to study the quantum mechanics of strongly correlated atoms.

    We will define the concept of a Quantum Lattice Compacton [2] and discuss the existence and dynamics, with special emphasis on mobility [3], of these in an extended Bose-Hubbard model corresponding to above-mentioned extended DNLS equation in the quantum mechanical limit. The compactons is given 'a kick' by means of a phase-gradient and it is shown that the size of this phase is crucial for the mobility of the compactons. For small phase-gradients, corresponding to a slow coherent motion in the classical model, the time-scales of the quantum tunnelings become of the same order as the time-scale of the translational motion and the classical mobility is destroyed by quantum  fluctuations. For large phase-gradients, corresponding to rapid classical motion, the classical and quantum time-scales separate so that a mobile, localized coherent quantum state can be translated many sites in the lattice already for small particle numbers of the order of 10 [3].

    Quantum dynamics of lattice states with compact support in an extended Bose-Hubbard model2013In: Physical Review A. Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics, ISSN 1050-2947, E-ISSN 1094-1622, Vol. 88, no 3, p. 033605-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We study the dynamical properties, with special emphasis on mobility, of quantum lattice compactons (QLCs) in a one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model extended with pair-correlated hopping. These are quantum counterparts of classical lattice compactons (localized solutions with exact zero amplitude outside a given region) of an extended discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which can be derived in the classical limit from the extended Bose-Hubbard model. While an exact one-site QLC eigenstate corresponds to a classical one-site compacton, the compact support of classical several-site compactons is destroyed by quantum fluctuations. We show that it is possible to reproduce the stability exchange regions of the one-site and two-site localized solutions in the classical model with properly chosen quantum states. Quantum dynamical simulations are performed for two different types of initial conditions: “localized ground states” which are localized wave packets built from superpositions of compactonlike eigenstates, and SU(4) coherent states corresponding to classical two-site compactons. Clear signatures of the mobility of classical lattice compactons are seen, but this crucially depends on the magnitude of the applied phase gradient. For small phase gradients, which classically correspond to a slow coherent motion, the quantum time scale is of the same order as the time scale of the translational motion, and the classical mobility is therefore destroyed by quantum fluctuations. For a large phase instead, corresponding to fast classical motion, the time scales separate so that a mobile, localized, coherent quantum state can be translated many sites for particle numbers already of the order of 10.

    Quantum signatures of charge flipping vortices in the Bose-Hubbard trimer2016In: PHYSICAL REVIEW E, ISSN 2470-0045, Vol. 94, no 5, article id 052215Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this work we study quantum signatures of charge flipping vortices, found in the classical discrete nonlinear Schrodinger trimer, by use of the Bose-Hubbard model. We are able to identify such signatures in the quantum energy eigenstates, for instance when comparing the site amplitudes of the classical charge flipping vortices with the probability distribution over different particle configurations.

    Quantum Signatures Of Charge-Flipping Vortices In The Bose-HubbardTrimer2016In: Abstract Book of RIAO-OPTILAS 2016 / [ed] Moraga, P. and Saavedra, C, Concepción - Chile: CEFOP-UdeC , 2016, p. 99-99Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this work we study quantum signatures of charge flipping vortices[1], found in the classical discrete nonlinear Schrödinger trimer[2], by use of the Bose-Hubbard model. We are able to identify such signatures in the quantum energy eigenstates, for instance when comparing the site amplitudes of the classical charge flipping vortices with the probability distribution over different particle configurations. It is also discussed how to construct quantum states that correspond to the classical charge flipping vortices, and which effects that can lead to deviations between the classical and quantum dynamics.

    We also examine properties of certain coherent states: classical-like quantum states that can be used to derive the classical model. Several quantum signatures are identified when studying the dynamics of these coherent states, for example when comparing the average number of particles on a site with the classical site amplitude, when comparing the quantum and classical currents and topological charge, and when studying the evolution of the quantum probability amplitudes. The flipping of the quantum currents are found to be an especially robust feature of these states.

    Quantum signatures of an oscillatory instability in the Bose-Hubbard trimer2012In: Physical Review E. Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics, ISSN 1539-3755, E-ISSN 1550-2376, Vol. 86, no 1, p. 016214-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We study the Bose-Hubbard model for three sites in a symmetric, triangular configuration and search for quantum signatures of the classical regime of oscillatory instabilities, known to appear through Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcations for the "single-depleted-well" family of stationary states in the discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation. In the regimes of classical stability, single quantum eigenstates with properties analogous to those of the classical stationary states can be identified already for rather small particle numbers. On the other hand, in the instability regime the interaction with other eigenstates through avoided crossings leads to strong mixing, and no single eigenstate with classical-like properties can be seen. We compare the quantum dynamics resulting from initial conditions taken as perturbed quantum eigenstates and SU(3) coherent states, respectively, in a quantum-semiclassical transitional regime of 10-100 particles. While the perturbed quantum eigenstates do not show a classical-like behavior in the instability regime, a coherent state behaves analogously to a perturbed classical stationary state, and exhibits initially resonant oscillations with oscillation frequencies well described by classical internal-mode oscillations.

    Breather mobility and the PN potential - Brief review and recent progress2014Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The question whether a nonlinear localized mode (discrete soliton/breather) can be mobile in a lattice has a standard interpretation in terms of the Peierls-Nabarro (PN) potential barrier. For the most commonly studied cases, the PN barrier for strongly localized solutions becomes large, rendering these essentially immobile. Several ways to improve the mobility by reducing the PN-barrier have been proposed during the last decade, and the first part gives a brief review of such scenarios in 1D and 2D. We then proceed to discuss two recently discovered novel mobility scenarios. The first example is the 2D Kagome lattice, where the existence of a highly degenerate, flat linear band allows for a very small PN-barrier and mobility of highly localized modes in a small-power regime. The second example is a 1D waveguide array in an active medium with intrinsic (saturable) gain and damping, where exponentially localized, travelling discrete dissipative solitons may exist as stable attractors.

    Abstract [en]

    Recent results [M. C. Tran and T. X. Tran, Chaos 32, 073113 (2022)] are put into the context of earlier work [A. V. Gorbach and M. Johansson, Eur. Phys. J. D 29, 77-93 (2004); M. Johansson and A. V. Gorbach, Phys. Rev. E 70, 057604 (2004)]. The two newly found families of "beyond-band discrete solitons " [M. C. Tran and T. X. Tran, Chaos 32, 073113 (2022)] are found to be smooth continuations of "on-top breathers " briefly mentioned by Gorbach and Johansson [Eur. Phys. J. D 29, 77-93 (2004)] and Johansson and Gorbach [Phys. Rev. E 70, 057604 (2004)] and the relevant bifurcation scenarios are described. One family is shown to be linearly unstable with respect to symmetry-breaking oscillations.

    Discrete nonlinear Schrödinger approximation of a mixed Klein-Gordon/Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chain: Modulational instability and a statistical condition for creation of thermodynamic breathers2006In: Physica D: Non-linear phenomena, ISSN 0167-2789, E-ISSN 1872-8022, Vol. 216, no 1 SPEC. ISS., p. 62-70Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We analyze certain aspects of the classical dynamics of a one-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schrödinger model with inter-site as well as on-site nonlinearities. The equation is derived from a mixed Klein-Gordon/Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chain of anharmonic oscillators coupled with anharmonic inter-site potentials, and approximates the slow dynamics of the fundamental harmonic of discrete small-amplitude modulational waves. We give explicit analytical conditions for modulational instability of travelling plane waves, and find in particular that sufficiently strong inter-site nonlinearities may change the nature of the instabilities from long-wavelength to short-wavelength perturbations. Further, we describe thermodynamic properties of the model using the grand-canonical ensemble to account for two conserved quantities: norm and Hamiltonian. The available phase space is divided into two separated parts with qualitatively different properties in thermal equilibrium: one part corresponding to a normal thermalized state with exponentially small probabilities for large-amplitude excitations, and another part typically associated with the formation of high-amplitude localized excitations, interacting with an infinite-temperature phonon bath. A modulationally unstable travelling wave may exhibit a transition from one region to the other as its amplitude is varied, and thus modulational instability is not a sufficient criterion for the creation of persistent localized modes in thermal equilibrium. For pure on-site nonlinearities the created localized excitations are typically pinned to particular lattice sites, while for significant inter-site nonlinearities they become mobile, in agreement with well-known properties of localized excitations in Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-type chains. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

    Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcations in the discrete nonlinear Schrodinger trimer: oscillatory instabilities, quasi-periodic solutions and a new type of self-trapping transition2004In: Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, ISSN 0305-4470, E-ISSN 1361-6447, Vol. 37, no 6, p. 2201-2222Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Oscillatory instabilities in Hamiltonian anharmonic lattices are known to appear through Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcations of certain time-periodic solutions of multibreather type. Here, we analyse the basic mechanisms for this scenario by considering the simplest possible model system of this kind where they appear: the three-site discrete nonlinear Schrodinger model with periodic boundary conditions. The stationary solution having equal amplitude and opposite phases on two sites and zero amplitude on the third is known to be unstable for an interval of intermediate amplitudes. We numerically analyse the nature of the two bifurcations leading to this instability and find them to be of two different types. Close to the lower-amplitude threshold stable two-frequency quasi-periodic solutions exist surrounding the unstable stationary solution, and the dynamics remains trapped around the latter so that in particular the amplitude of the originally unexcited site remains small. By contrast, close to the higher-amplitude threshold all two-frequency quasi-periodic solutions are detached from the unstable stationary solution, and the resulting dynamics is of population-inversion type involving also the originally unexcited site.

    Nonlinearity, discreteness and disorder: localization, delocalization and transmission threshold in time-periodically driven systems2009Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    After a brief introduction to the physics of nonlinear localization and Anderson localization, the talk will focus on discussing how these two effects may compete with each other. Examples will be given showing that in different circumstances, nonlinearity may either enhance Anderson localization or lead to delocalization in a disordered system. In the end, we will discuss recent results showing that a locally acting time-periodic driving force may destroy Anderson localization, and due to nonlinear effects yield transmission of energy through a disordered system if the force strength is above some threshold value. The application of these results to experiments on light waves in optical wave guide arrays, as well as to quantum mechanical matter waves of Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in optical lattice potentials, will also be briefly discussed.

    Strongly localized moving discrete solitons (breathers): new ways to beat the Peierls-Nabarro barrier2013Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The question whether a nonlinear localized mode (discrete soliton/breather) can be mobile in a lattice has a standard interpretation in terms of the Peierls-Nabarro (PN) potential barrier. In particular, for any system modelled by a Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) type equation, this concept can be defined as the maximum difference in energy (Hamiltonian) between solutions at fixed power (norm), centered at different lattice positions. For the most commonly studied case with on-site, cubic (Kerr) nonlinearity, the PN barrier for strongly localized solutions becomes large, rendering these essentially immobile.

    Several ways to improve the mobility by reducing the PN-barrier for strongly localized modes have been proposed during the last decade, and the first part of this talk will give a brief review of two such scenarios. In 1D, one option is to utilize a competition between on-site and inter-site nonlinearities. In 2D, the mobility is normally much worse than in 1D, due to the fact that also broad solitons are prone to excitation thresholds and quasicollapse instabilities. Utilizing a saturable nonlinearity was found to considerably improve the 2D mobility by reducing the PN barrier in certain parameter regimes for large power.

    We then proceed to discuss two (if time allows) recently discovered novel mobility scenarios. The first example discussed is the 2D Kagome lattice, where the existence of a highly degenerate, flat linear band allows small-power, strongly localized nonlinear modes to appear without excitation threshold. The nonlinearity lifts the degeneracy of linear modes and causes a small energy shift between modes centered at different lattice positions, yielding a very small PN-barrier and mobility of highly localized modes in a small-power regime.

    The second example discusses a 1D waveguide array in an active medium with intrinsic (saturable) gain and damping. It is shown that exponentially localized, travelling discrete dissipative solitons may exist as stable attractors, supported only by intrinsic properties of the medium (i.e., in absence of any external field or symmetry-breaking perturbations). With a standard, on-site Kerr-nonlinearity the solitons are pinned by the PN-barrier, but decreasing the barrier with inter-site nonlinearities allows for the existence of breathing (i.e., with oscillating size) solitons as stable attractors at certain velocities, related to lattice commensurability effects. The stable moving breathers also survive in presence of weak disorder.

    Topological edge breathers in a nonlinear Su-Schrieffer-Heeger lattice2023In: Physics Letters A, ISSN 0375-9601, E-ISSN 1873-2429, Vol. 458, article id 128593Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We show the existence of breathing edge modes in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with cubic (Kerr) on-site nonlinearity, bifurcating from stationary edge solitons with propagation constant inside the topological gap of the linear model. These edge breathers are exact solutions to the nonlinear equations of motion, with time-periodic intensity oscillations and tails exponentially decaying from the edge. They bifurcate from two localized internal eigenmodes of the stationary edge soliton, having eigenfrequencies inside the topological gap and all higher harmonics above the linear spectrum. Numerical Floquet analysis for solutions obtained from a Newton scheme shows that edge breathers may be linearly stable even in regimes of large-amplitude oscillations, mainly manifested as time-periodic power exchange between the edge site and its next-nearest neighbor.

    Transmission thresholds in time-periodically driven nonlinear disordered systems2009Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    (Joint work with G. Kopidakis, S. Lepri, and S. Aubry) We study energy propagation in locally time-periodically driven disordered nonlinear chains. For frequencies inside the band of linear Anderson modes, three different regimes are observed with increasing driver amplitude: 1) Below threshold, localized quasiperiodic oscillations and no spreading; 2) Three different regimes in time close to threshold, with almost regular oscillations initially, weak chaos and slow spreading for intermediate times, and finally strong diffusion; 3) Immediate spreading for strong driving. The thresholds are due to simple bifurcations, obtained analytically for a single oscillator, and numerically as turning-points of the nonlinear response manifold for a full chain. Generically, the threshold is nonzero also for infinite chains.

    Nonlinear gap modes and compactons in a lattice model for spin-orbit coupled exciton-polaritons in zigzag chains2019In: Journal of Physics Communications, ISSN 2399-6528, Vol. 3, no 1, p. 1-17, article id 015001Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We consider a system of generalized coupled Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equations, derived as a tight-binding model from the Gross-Pitaevskii-type equations describing a zigzag chain of weakly coupled condensates of exciton-polaritons with spin-orbit (TE-TM) coupling. We focus on the simplest case when the angles for the links in the zigzag chain are ±π/4 with respect to the chain axis, and the basis (Wannier) functions are cylindrically symmetric (zero orbital angular momenta). We analyze the properties of the fundamental nonlinear localized solutions, with particular interest in the discrete gap solitons appearing due to the simultaneous presence of spin–orbit coupling and zigzag geometry, opening a gap in the linear dispersion relation. In particular, their linear stability is analyzed. We also find that the linear dispersion relation becomes exactly flat at particular parameter values, and obtain corresponding compact solutions localized on two neighboring sites, with spin-up and spin-down parts π/2 out of phase at each site. The continuation of these compact modes into exponentially decaying gap modes for generic parameter values is studied numerically, and regions of stability are found to exist in the lower or upper half of the gap, depending on the type of gap modes.

    Abstract [en]

    An explicit examples of exact stable quasiperiodic localized stable solution with spatially symmetric large amplitude oscillations in a nonintegrable Hamiltonian lattice model were presented. The proposed model as observed, is a one-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schro°dinger equation with alternating on-site energies. It was observed that the pulson solutions exists for other types of multicomponent lattices with two conserved quantities. It was also observed that the pulson character of the two-frequency solution appeared when the absolute value of the minimum value of ? n0±1 exceeds the minimum value of ?n0.

    Comment on "localized vortices with a semi-integer charge in nonlinear dynamical lattices"2002In: Physical Review E. Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics, ISSN 1539-3755, E-ISSN 1550-2376, Vol. 66, no 4, p. 048601-Article in journal (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    In a recent paper by Kevrekidis, Malomed, Bishop, and Frantzeskakis [Phys. Rev. E 65, 016605 (2001)] the existence of localized vortices with semi-integer topological charge as exact stationary solutions in a two-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schrödinger model is claimed, as well as the existence of an analog solution in the one-dimensional model. We point out that the existence of such exact stationary solutions would violate fundamental conservation laws, and therefore these claims are erroneous and appear as a consequence of inaccurate numerics. We illustrate the origin of these errors by performing similar numerical calculations using more accurate numerics.

    Gap and out-gap solitons in modulated systems of finite length: exact solutions in the slowly varying envelope limit2011In: PHYSICA SCRIPTA, ISSN 0031-8949, Vol. 83, no 6Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We discuss nonlinear excitations in finite-size one-dimensional modulated systems. Considering a binary modulated discrete nonlinear Schrodinger chain of large but finite length with periodic boundary conditions, we obtain exact elliptic-function solutions corresponding to stationary excitations in the slowly varying envelope limit. From these solutions, we analyze how the transformation between (localized) gap and (delocalized) out-gap solitons manifests itself in a system of finite length. The analogue of a localized gap soliton appears through a bifurcation at a critical point, so that gap soliton analogues exist only for chains longer than a critical value, which scales inversely proportional to the modulation depth. The total norm of these gap-out-gap states is found to be a monotonic function of the frequency, always inside a nonlinear gap with edges defined by the main nonlinear modes which approach the linear spectrum gap boundaries in the small-amplitude limit. The transformation from a gap to an out-gap state is associated with a particular frequency, close to the lower boundary of the linear gap; at this point the elliptic functions become trigonometric, corresponding to a finite-size analogue of an algebraic soliton. We compare the scenario with earlier results obtained numerically for purely discrete chains with few degrees of freedom.

    KAM tori in 1D random discrete nonlinear Schrodinger model?2010In: EPL, ISSN 0295-5075, Vol. 91, no 5Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We suggest that KAM theory could be extended for certain infinite-dimensional systems with purely discrete linear spectrum. We provide empirical arguments for the existence of square summable infinite-dimensional invariant tori in the random discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation, appearing with a finite probability for a given initial condition with sufficiently small norm. Numerical support for the existence of a fat Cantor set of initial conditions generating almost periodic oscillations is obtained by analyzing i) sets of recurrent trajectories over successively larger time scales, and ii) finite-time Lyapunov exponents. The norm region where such KAM-like tori may exist shrinks to zero when the disorder strength goes to zero and the localization length diverges.

    Transmission thresholds in time-periodically driven nonlinear disordered systems2009In: EPL, ISSN 0295-5075 , Vol. 86, no 1, p. 10009-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We study energy propagation in locally time-periodically driven disordered nonlinear chains. For frequencies inside the band of linear Anderson modes, three different regimes are observed with increasing driver amplitude: 1) below threshold, localized quasiperiodic oscillations and no spreading; 2) three different regimes in time close to threshold, with almost regular oscillations initially, weak chaos and slow spreading for intermediate times and finally strong diffusion; 3) immediate spreading for strong driving. The thresholds are due to simple bifurcations, obtained analytically for a single oscillator, and numerically as turning points of the nonlinear response manifold for a full chain. Generically, the threshold is nonzero also for infinite chains.

    Stability analysis of numerically exact time-periodic breathers in the Lugiato-Lefever equation: Discrete vs continuum2019In: Physical Review Research, E-ISSN 2643-1564, Vol. 1, no 3, p. 1-9, article id 033196Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We describe a framework for numerical calculation of time-periodically oscillating (breather) solutions to the discretized Lugiato-Lefever equation (LLE), as well as their linear stability as obtained from numerical Floquet analysis. Compared to earlier approaches, our work allows for the following conclusions: (i) The complete families of solutions are obtained also in regimes of instability; (ii) analysis of Floquet spectra and the corresponding eigenvectors show clearly the nature of the various Hopf and period-doubling bifurcations; (iii) properties of breather solutions to the continuous LLE are connected to corresponding oscillating solutions of the discrete LLE, which is of interest in its own right modeling coupled nonlinear cavities. In particular, we show that the oscillating discrete cavity solitons found in earlier work can be viewed as lattice versions of the continuous LLE breathers, as there is a smooth continuation in parameter space connecting them. Moreover, we confirm the existence of stable breathers at large detunings that was recently observed experimentally and describe their appearance from bifurcations.

    Standing wave instabilities, breather formation and thermalization in a Hamiltonian anharmonic lattice2002In: European Physical Journal B: Condensed Matter Physics, ISSN 1434-6028, E-ISSN 1434-6036, Vol. 29, no 2, p. 279-283Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Modulational instability of travelling plane waves is often considered as the first step in the formation of intrinsically localized modes (discrete breathers) in anharmonic lattices. Here, we consider an alternative mechanism for breather formation, originating in oscillatory instabilities of spatially periodic or quasiperiodic nonlinear standing waves (SWs). These SWs are constructed for Klein-Gordon or Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger lattices as exact time periodic and time reversible multibreather solutions from the limit of uncoupled oscillators, and merge into harmonic SWs in the small-amplitude limit. Approaching the linear limit, all SWs with nontrivial wave vectors (0 < Q < p) become unstable through oscillatory instabilities, persisting for arbitrarily small amplitudes in infinite lattices. The dynamics resulting from these instabilities is found to be qualitatively different for wave vectors smaller than or larger than p/2, respectively. In one regime persisting breathers are found, while in the other regime the system thermalizes.

    Compactification tuning for nonlinear localized modes in sawtooth lattices2015In: Physical Review E. Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics, ISSN 1539-3755, E-ISSN 1550-2376, Vol. 92, no 3-1, p. 032912-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We discuss the properties of nonlinear localized modes in sawtooth lattices, in the framework of a discrete nonlinear Schrodinger modelwith general on-site nonlinearity. Analytic conditions for existence of exact compact three-site solutions are obtained, and explicitly illustrated for the cases of power-law (cubic) and saturable nonlinearities. These nonlinear compact modes appear as continuations of linear compact modes belonging to a flat dispersion band. While for the linear system a compact mode exists only for one specific ratio of the two different coupling constants, nonlinearity may lead to compactification of otherwise noncompact localized modes for a range of coupling ratios, at some specific power. For saturable lattices, the compactification power can be tuned by also varying the nonlinear parameter. Introducing different on-site energies and anisotropic couplings yields further possibilities for compactness tuning. The properties of strongly localized modes are investigated numerically for cubic and saturable nonlinearities, and in particular their stability over large parameter regimes is shown. Since the linear flat band is isolated, its compact modes may be continued into compact nonlinear modes both for focusing and defocusing nonlinearities. Results are discussed in relation to recent realizations of sawtooth photonic lattices.

    Strongly localized moving discrete dissipative breather-solitons in Kerr nonlinear media supported by intrinsic gain2014In: Physical Review E. Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics, ISSN 1539-3755, E-ISSN 1550-2376, Vol. 89, no 4, p. 042912-1-042912-9Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We investigate the mobility of nonlinear localized modes in a generalized discrete Ginzburg-Landau-type model, describing a one-dimensional waveguide array in an active Kerr medium with intrinsic, saturable gain and damping. It is shown that exponentially localized, traveling discrete dissipative breather-solitons may exist as stable attractors supported only by intrinsic properties of the medium, i.e., in the absence of any external field or symmetry-breaking perturbations. Through an interplay by the gain and damping effects, the moving soliton may overcome the Peierls-Nabarro barrier, present in the corresponding conservative system, by self-induced time-periodic oscillations of its power (norm) and energy (Hamiltonian), yielding exponential decays to zero with different rates in the forward and backward directions. In certain parameter windows, bistability appears between fast modes with small oscillations and slower, large-oscillation modes. The velocities and the oscillation periods are typically related by lattice commensurability and exhibit period-doubling bifurcations to chaotically walking modes under parameter variations. If the model is augmented by intersite Kerr nonlinearity, thereby reducing the Peierls-Nabarro barrier of the conservative system, the existence regime formoving solitons increases considerably, and a richer scenario appears including Hopf bifurcations to incommensurately moving solutions and phase-locking intervals. Stable moving breathers also survive in the presence of weak disorder.

    Statistical mechanics of general discrete nonlinear Schrödinger models: Localization transition and its relevance for Klein-Gordon lattices2004In: Physical Review E - Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics, ISSN 1539-3755, Vol. 70, no 6 2Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A statistical-mechanics description of a general class of discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) models, was presented. Simple analytical conditions for the transition into the statistical localization regime, were obtained. Numerical simulation was performed to show the nature of the localization dynamics outside the 'normal' Gibbsian regime for various cases. It is concluded that the results from the DNLS model can be transferred into approximate conditions for statistical formation of long-lived breathers in weakly coupled Klein-Gordon chains.

    Discrete reduced-symmetry solitons and second-band vortices in two-dimensional nonlinear waveguide arrays2009In: PHYSICAL REVIEW E, ISSN 1539-3755, Vol. 80, no 4, p. 046604-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Considering a two-dimensional lattice of weakly coupled waveguides, where each waveguide may carry two orthogonal modes of dipolar character, we present a nonlinear discrete vector model for the study of Kerr optical solitons with profiles having a reduced symmetry relative to the underlying lattice. We describe analytically and numerically existence and stability properties of such states in square and triangular lattices and also reveal directional mobility properties of two-dimensional gap solitons which were recently observed in experiment. The model also describes one-site peaked discrete vortices corresponding to experimentally observed "second-band" vortex lattice solitons, for which oscillatory instabilities are predicted. We also introduce a concept of "rotational Peierls-Nabarro barrier" characterizing the minimum energy needed for rotation of stable dipole modes and compare numerically translational and rotational energy barriers in regimes of good mobility.
