Abstract

Solitoli optical pulse propagation lias been extensively studied both theoretically and experimentally for homogeneous media with Kerr¹ and resonant² types of nonlin earity. It has been recently predicted that soliton transmission in non linear periodical structureis possible within the Bragg frequency forbidden gap band , so-called gap solitons^3,4. We consider theoretically the propagation and interaction of the gap solitons in a resonance Bragg grating with an inhomogeneously broadened spectral line, as well as oscillating zoomeron-like pulses interacting in a deformed structure.
