We utilize arrays of evanescently coupled optical waveguides, where a particular modulation of the transverse waveguide separations provides a physical realization of reflectionless Ablowitz-Ladik soliton potentials.Author/s retain copyrightKeywords: Coupled optical waveguides; Incident waves; Localized modes; Nonresonant; Photonic lattice; Physical realization; Reflectionless potentials; Photonics; Solitons; Waveguides201110.1103/PhysRevLett.106.1939032016-02-24
