Abstract
We construct families of ordinary and gap solitons, including solitary vortices, in the two-dimensional (2D) system based on the nonlinear-Schrödinger/Gross–Pitaevskii equation with 2D or quasi-1D (Q1D) periodic linear potential, combined with periodic modulation of the cubic nonlinearity (also in the 2D or Q1D form), which is generally incommensurate with the linear potential, thus forming a ‘nonlinear quasi-crystal’. Stable vortices are built as complexes of four peaks with the separation between them equal to the double period of the linear potential. The system may be realized in photonic crystals or Bose–Einstein condensates. The variational approximation is applied to ordinary solitons (residing in the semi-infinite gap), and numerical methods are used to construct solitons of all types. Stability regions are identified for soliton families in all versions of the model.
