Surface modes and breathers in finite arrays of nonlinear waveguides
Surface modes and breathers in finite arrays of nonlinear waveguides
We present the complete set of symmetric and antisymmetric (edge and corner) surface modes in finite one- and two-dimensional arrays of waveguides. We provide classification of the modes based on the anti-continuum limit, study their stability and bifurcations, and discuss relation between surface and bulk modes. We put forward existence …
