Light propagating in linear and nonlinear waveguide lattices exhibits behaviour
characteristic of that encountered in discrete systems. The diffraction properties of these …

We demonstrate the first experimental realization of a dispersionless state, in a photonic
Lieb lattice formed by an array of optical waveguides. This engineered lattice supports three …

The development of new artificial structures and materials is today one of the major research
challenges in optics. In most studies so far, the design of such structures has been based on …

In the last decade many important advances have taken place in the field of quantum optics,
with numerous potential applications. Ideal for graduate courses on quantum optics, this …

We present the experimental observation of bound states in the continuum. Our experiments
are carried out in an optical waveguide array structure, where the bound state (guided …

The current research into solitons and their use in fiber optic communications is very
important to the future of communications. Since the advent of computer networking and …

Bloch oscillations in complex lattices with PT symmetry are theoretically investigated with
specific reference to optical Bloch oscillations in photonic lattices with gain or loss regions …

Over the last few years arrays of evanescently coupled waveguides have been brought into
focus as a particular representation of functionalized optical materials, in which the …

We provide an overview of recent experimental and theoretical developments in the area of
optical discrete solitons. By nature, discrete solitons represent self-trapped wavepackets in …
