Abstract

En 中文
Periodic structures consisting of alternating layers of positive-index and negative-index materials have a novel bandgap at the frequency at which the average refractive index is zero. We show that, in the presence of a Kerr nonlinearity, this zero-n gap can switch from low transmission to a perfectly transmitting state, forming a nonlinear resonance or gap soliton in the process. This zero-n gap soliton is oranidirectional, in contrast to the usual Bragg gap soliton of positive-index periodic structures. (c) 2005 Optical Society of America.
