▎ 摘　　要

We investigate the vector plasmonic lattice solitons (PLSs) in nonlinear graphene-pair arrays (GPAs) consisting of periodically arranged double graphene sheets, which are spatially separated. There are two dispersion bands for the Bloch modes in the array due to the coupling of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) between the graphene pairs. The vector PLSs composed of two components originate from the nonlinear interaction of Bloch modes in different bands. Both components undergo mutual self-trapping through the balance between diffraction and self-focusing nonlinearity of graphene. Thanks to the strong confinement of SPPs, the vector PLSs can be squeezed into a lateral width of similar to lambda/100. The study provides a promising approach to all-optical control on a deep-subwavelength scale. (C) 2016 Optical Society of America
