Wannier functions and discrete NLS equations for nematicons
We derive nonlocal discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equations for laser beam propagation in optical waveguide arrays that use a nematic liquid crystal substrate. We start with an NLS-elliptic model for the problem and propose a simplified version that incorporates periodicity in one of the dire...
