Abstract
An experimental set-up is presented to create standing nonlinear continuous waves in a Kerr wave guide with a periodic structure. The frequency of the wave is in the band gap of the system. Control parameters are the intensity of the source at one side of the structure, and the phase difference between the forward and backward moving components of the standing wave at the other side. For a simplified system, a bilayer grating, it is shown that multi-valuedness of the solutions occurs with respect to these two control parameters. To obtain these results, analytical and numerical methods are used to describe the spatial ‘dynamics’ of the nonlinear transfer map of one unit of the grating. Among other things, it is demonstrated that effects of chaotic dynamics can be visible in realistic systems.
