Soliton collisions in a waveguide array with saturable nonlinearity

J Cuevas and J C Eilbeck


Abstract

We study the collision scenario of mobile breathers/solitons in a model for coupled wave guides with a saturable nonlinearity. Two main regimes are observed: breather fusion and breather reflection. The saturability allows the existence of breathers with high power. In this case, a new phenomena appears: reflection with power trapping at the collision point.
