Abstract

The existence of asymmetric vortex solitons in nonlinear periodic lattices was analyzed. The periodic lattices were found to support different types of robust asymmetric vortex-like nonlinear localized structures. The vortices resembled the soliton clusters trapped by the lattice and were associated with a nontrivial power flow. The examples of novel vortex solitons on a square lattice and other solutions were obtained and analyzed using the general energy-balance relations.
