Abstract:
The existence, stability and collision dynamics of moving Bragg grating solitons in a semilinear dual-core system where one core has the Kerr nonlinearity and is equipped with a Bragg grating with dispersive reflectivity, and the other core is linear are investigated. It is found that moving soliton solutions exist as a continuous family of solutions in the upper and lower gaps of the system's linear spectrum. The stability of the moving solitons are investigated by means of systematic numerical stability analysis, and the effect and interplay of various parameters on soliton stability are analyzed. We have also systematically investigated the characteristics of collisions of counter-propagating solitons. In-phase collisions can lead to a variety of outcomes such as passage of solitons through each other with increased, reduced or unchanged velocities, asymmetric separation of solitons, merger of solitons into a quiescent one, formation of three solitons (one quiescent and two moving ones) and destruction of both solitons. The outcome regions of in-phase collisions are identified in the plane of dispersive reflectivity versus frequency. The effects of coupling coefficient, relative group velocity in the linear core, soliton velocity and dispersive reflectivity and the initial phase difference on the outcomes of collisions are studied.
