摘要
It is shown that discrete solitons can be navigated in two-dimensional networks of nonlinear waveguide arrays. This can be accomplished via vector interactions between two classes of discrete solitons: signals and blockers. Discrete solitons in such two-dimensional networks can exhibit a rich variety of functional operations, e.g., blocking, routing, logic functions, and time gating.
