Bragg-type soliton mirror.
We address soliton reflection/transmission at interface between a uniform medium and an optical lattice with focusing Kerr nonlinearity. We reveal that such interfaces afford rich new opportunities for controlling the reflection and transmission coefficients and the nonlinear Snell law, the key control parameters being the spatial frequency and depth of refractive index modulation in the lattice.
