Language: | eng | Issue Date: | Apr-2007 | Publisher: | Soc. | Document Type: | Article | Journal / Series / Working Paper (HSU): | Optics letters | Volume: | 32 | Issue: | 7 | Page Start: | 823 | Page End: | 825 | Publisher Place: | Washington, DC | Abstract: | We demonstrate the existence of nonlinear Tamm oscillations at the interface between a substrate and a one-dimensional waveguide array with either cubic or saturable, self-focusing or self-defocusing nonlinearity. Light is trapped in the vicinity of the array boundary due to the interplay between the repulsive edge potential and Bragg reflection inside the array. In the special case when this potential is linear these oscillations reduce themselves to surface Bloch oscillations. |
