摘要
We show that a general class of complex asymmetric potentials of the form w(2)(x) - iw(x)(x), where w(x) is a real function, allows for the existence of one-parametric continuous families of the stationary nonlinear modes bifurcating from the linear spectrum and propagating in Kerr media. As an example, we introduce an asymmetric double-hump complex potential and show that it supports continuous families of stable nonlinear modes. (C) 2014 Optical Society of America
