title: Non-Bragg-gap solitons in one-dimensional Kerr-metamaterial Fibonacci heterostructures.
abstract: A detailed study of non-Bragg-gap solitons in one-dimensional Kerr-metamaterial quasiperiodic Fibonacci heterostructures is performed. The transmission coefficient is numerically obtained by combining the transfer-matrix formalism in the metamaterial layers with a numerical solution of the nonlinear differential equation in the Kerr slabs, and by considering the loss effects in the metamaterial slabs. A switching from states of no transparency in the linear regime to high-transparency states in the nonlinear regime is observed for both zero-order and plasmon-polariton gaps. The spatial localization of the non-Bragg-gap solitons is also examined, and the symmetry properties of the soliton waves are briefly discussed.
