Abstract
We study theoretically and observe experimentally polychromatic
gap solitons generated by supercontinuum light in an array of
optical waveguides. The solitons are formed through a sharp transition from
diffraction-induced broadening and color separation to the simultaneous
spatio-spectral localization of supercontinuum light inside the photonic
bandgap with the formation of the characteristic staggered phase structure
for all colors.
