Nonlinear optics

a self-trapped light beam localized over a few sites of an array of coupled waveguides, balancing discrete diffraction by nonlinearity.

In nonlinear optics, discrete soliton refers to a self-trapped light beam localized over a few sites of an array of coupled waveguides, balancing discrete diffraction by nonlinearity. This meaning comes from Christodoulides (1988) in Optics Letters.[1]
