Abstract

The dynamics of nonlinear pulse propagation in arrays of linearly coupled optical waveguides is considered. For an array of three waveguides, a simplified model based on a variational method is able to predict the steady-state solutions and the strong coupling dynamics with a good degree of accuracy and to furnish a necessary condition for the existence of localized states, as confirmed by numerical solutions of the governing equations. The pulse–radiation interaction is also studied, revealing that additional, long-period oscillations overlap the linear coupling frequency. In the regime of initial conditions that lead to strong localization dynamics, we present a theoretical result that predicts to a good approximation the asymptotic localized state.
