Abstract:We report some novel dynamical phenomena of dissipative solitons supported by introducing an asymmetric wedge-shaped potential (just as a sharp 'razor') into the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation with the cubic-quintic nonlinearity. The potentials corresponding to a local refractive index modulation with breaking symmetry can be realized in an active optical medium with respective expanding antiwaveguiding structures. Using the razor potential acting on a central dissipative soliton, possible outcomes of asymmetric and single-side splitting of dissipative solitons are achieved with setting different strengths and steepness of the potentials. The results can potentially be used to design a multi-route splitter for light beams.
