Abstract

The anharmonic Bloch oscillations of a light beam in the array of optical waveguides are considered. The coupling modes model (CMM) with the second order interaction is used to describe the effect analytically. The formula obtained predicts explicitly the path of the optical beam, in particular, the positions of the turning points are found. A total agreement of this formula with the numerical simulation is confirmed.
