| contents | We introduce a class of one-dimensional complex optical potentials that feature a nonlinearity-induced stability restoration, i.e., the existence of stable nonlinear modes propagating in a waveguide whose linear eigenmodes are unstable. The optical potential is an even function of the transverse coordinate, i.e., the system is parity symmetric but not parity-time symmetric. The stability restoration occurs for asymmetric stationary nonlinear modes that do not respect the parity symmetry. Stable nonlinear states exist either for focusing and defocusing nonlinearities. On the qualitative level the stability restoration cab be analyzed using a simple bimodal system. Its solutions enable systematic construction of stable stationary modes and more complex patterns with intensity periodically oscillating along the propagation distance. |
