Abstract

The formation of discrete solitons in an array of coupled optical waveguides was demonstrated. Light was coupled into one ridge waveguide of an array. As the light propagates, linear coupling between neighboring waveguides broadens the light distribution, so that after propagating for about four coupling lengths, the light is distributed among some 35 waveguides. Increasing the light intensity, such that the Kerr effect becomes significant, results in confinement of the light around the input waveguide.
