Abstract:
We address the properties and dynamical stability of one-dimensional vector lattice solitons in a Kerr-type cubic medium with harmonic transverse modulation of the refractive index. We discovered that unstable families of scalar lattice solitons can be stabilized via cross-phase modulation (XPM) in the vector case. It was found that multihumped vector solitons that are unstable in uniform media where the XPM strength is higher than that of self-phase modulation can also be stabilized by the lattice.

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration
A stable equilibrium occurs when a system tends to return to its original position when given a small displacement, and the potential energy is at its minimum. An example of a stable equilibrium is when a cantilever beam is fixed at one end and a weight is attached to the other end. If the weight...
