Surface solitons in quasiperiodic nonlinear photonic lattices
Surface solitons in quasiperiodic nonlinear photonic lattices
We study discrete surface solitons in semi-infinite, one-dimensional, nonlinear (Kerr), quasiperiodic waveguide arrays of the Fibonacci and Aubry-Andr\'e types, and explore different families of localized surface modes, as a function of optical power content (`nonlinearity') and quasiperiodic strength (`disorder'). We find a strong asymmetry in the power content of the …
