Dark, Antidark Soliton-Like Solutions and Their Connection in a Finite Deep Nonlinear Bragg Grating With a Mirror

We report the results of our study on the in-gap soliton-like solutions in a system of a uniform finite deep nonlinear Bragg grating with a mirror and continuous light source on the opposite sides of the grating. The system was shown to exhibit a new feature consisting of homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits in phase plane associated with the in-gap bright and dark/antidark solitons respectively. The multi-valued connection between the dark and antidark solitons was explicitly displayed. It was further demonstrated that a transition from dark to antidark soliton could be affected by either changing the mirror position or changing the source intensity.
