Abstract :
Summary form only given. The interaction of the 1-st (FF) and 2-nd (SH) harmonics of light in Bragg gratings with a quadratic nonlinearity can support parametric gap solitons. Here we discuss numerical simulations of nonlinear tunneling of optically coupled FF and SH in quadratically nonlinear gratings, showing a possibility of slow soliton excitation by long CW input beams and outline important scenarios of gap soliton collisions.
