Abstract
Threshold effects and trapping subsequent to the collision of a projectile wave packet and a target are ubiquitous in quantum mechanics. In nonlinear optics, the interaction between a soliton (S) and a dispersive wave (DW) exhibits similarities to wave-packet scattering and offers means for all-optical control [1]. However, threshold effects akin to those in quantum mechanical potential scattering when a bound-state eigenvalue is close to the continuum, and generation of metastable states due to scattering resonances, are not directly allowed. Such phenomena are of high interest in the context of optical technologies concerning storage and manipulation of optical data.
