Abstract :
This paper predicts theoretically and demonstrate experimentally novel possibilities for active control of supercontinuum light beams in nonlinear waveguide arrays. Whereas different colors are separated in the linear regime due to the strong spectral dispersion, this paper considers nonlinear interactions enable collective manipulation of amplitude and phase states of all spectral components through the formation of supercontinuum spatial gap solitons.
