Multipole-mode interface solitons in quadratic nonlinear photonic lattices

Abstract

We address the properties of nonlinear multipole modes supported by an interface between two distinct optical lattices imprinted in two-dimensional nonlinear quadratic media. Such multipole-mode solitons feature out of phase between neighboring lobes, which may be located in two different sides of the lattices. We analyze the impact of guiding parameters of lattices on the existence and stability of multipole-mode interface solitons in different phase mismatching conditions. Remarkably, our results show that multipole-mode interface solitons have the highly asymmetric shape and they are stable in the broad range of system parameters. Show more
