@article{Smirnova2013, abstract = {We study nonlinear propagation of electromagnetic waves in two closely spaced graphene layers and demonstrate that this double-layer graphene waveguide can operate as an efficient nonlinear optical coupler for both continuous plasmons and for subwavelength spatial optical plasmon solitons. We analyze the nonlinearity-induced effects of light localization and symmetry breaking in such a graphene coupler, and predict that the interlayer power-dependent coupling provides a mechanism for optical beam control and manipulation at realistic input power levels.}, author = {Smirnova, Daria A. and Gorbach, Andrey V. and Iorsh, Ivan V. and Shadrivov, Ilya V. and Kivshar, Yuri S.}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.88.045443}, journal = {Physical Review B}, month = {jul}, number = {4}, pages = {045443}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, shorttitle = {Phys.
