Control of dissipative solitons in a magneto-optic planar waveguide
Abstract:
We propose a mechanism to control propagation of a group of stable dissipative solitons in a nonlinear magneto-optic planar waveguide. The control is realized by means of a spatially inhomogeneous external magnetic field, which is induced by a set of direct conducting wires placed on the top of the guiding layer. The wires are extended in the direction of soliton propagation, and carry electric currents with particular piecewise constant profiles. In order to describe the soliton evolution the one-dimensional cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation has been adapted by tailoring an additional linear term, which is responsible for the magneto-optic effect.
