We show that stable surface fundamental defect solitons can exist in different gaps of an optical lattice with focusing nonlocal Kerr nonlinearity. For positive defect, solitons stably exist in the semi-infinite gap. For negative defect, solitons are stable in the semi-infinite gap and the first gap. Increasing the negative defect depth, the existent regions of defect solitons in the semi-infinite gap and in the first gap will be changed. The degree of the nonlocality will affect the profiles of these solitons.

The existence and stability of 𝒫𝒯-symmetric gap solitons in a periodic structure with defocusing nonlocal nonlinearity are studied. It is found that solitons are in general unstable, their instability rate depending on the magnitude of the imaginary potential. For low values of the imaginary potential solitons survive over distances many times the Rayleigh distance, whereas for high values of the imaginary potential solitons develop an oscillatory instability, eventually leading to a transverse drift towards the gain region.

AbstractWe investigate the existence and stability of gap solitons supported by an optical lattice in biased photorefractive (PR) crystals having both the linear and quadratic electro-optic effect. Such PR crystals have an interesting interplay between the linear and quadratic nonlinearities. Gap solitons are predicted for the first time in such novel PR media. Taking a relevant example (PMN-0.33PT), we find that the gap solitons in the first finite bandgap are single humped, positive and symmetric solitons while those in the second finite band gap are antisymmetric and double humped. The power of the gap soliton depends upon the value of the axial propagation constant. We delineate three power regimes and study the gap soliton profiles in each region. The gap solitons in the first finite band gap are not linearly stable while those in the second finite band gap are found to be stable against small perturbations. We study their stability properties in detail throughout the finite band gaps. The interplay between the linear and quadratic electro-optic effect is studied by investigating the spatial profiles and stability of the gap solitons for different ratios of the linear and quadratic nonlinear coefficients.

Magic wavelengths for laser trapping of barium atoms in the optical lattices are investigated while considering the optical clock transition at 877 nm between the 6s21S0 state and 6s5d 1D2 state. Theoretical calculation shows that there are several magic wavelengths with the linearly polarized trapping laser. The trap depths of the optical lattice and the slope of light shift difference with different magic wavelengths are also discussed and analyzed. Some of these magic wavelengths are selected and recommended for the optical lattice trapping laser.

Vibration characteristics of a deep groove ball bearing caused by a localized surface defect are greatly affected by defect sizes, such as the length, width, and depth. However, effects of the defect depth, the time-varying contact stiffness between the ball and defect, and the relationship between the time-varying contact stiffness and defect sizes have not been considered in previous defect models. In this work, a new defect model considering a new force–deflection relationship is presented to replace the Hertzian force–deflection relationship to describe the ball-line contact between the ball and defect edge. Both the time-varying displacement impulse and time-varying contact stiffness are considered. The relationship between the time-varying contact stiffness and defect sizes is obtained. Effects of defect sizes on the vibrations of the deep groove ball bearing, especially the defect depth that cannot be described by previous defect models, are investigated. The simulation results are compared with those from the previous defect models. The results show that the model developed can predict a more realistic impulse caused by a localized surface defect for dynamic simulation of the deep groove ball bearing. An experimental investigation is also presented to validate the proposed model.
