Abstract

We report on, for the first time to our knowledge, the existence of (1+1)-dimensional dipole solitons. We numerically find that such solitons can be supported by one-dimensional optical lattice in Kerr-type nonlinear media. Two dipoles of solitons are completely located at a broad optical lattice whose transverse modulation period is larger than ~1.5 times of the soliton width. The inherent repulsive interaction between dipoles can be effectively overcome by the lattice. The stable swing motion of dipole solitons in such lattice is also demonstrated.
