Abstract The study of Bose–Einstein condensation effects in photonic systems has revealed
a rich phenomenology related to spontaneous coherence generation in driven-dissipative …

Turbulent phenomena are among the most striking effects that both classical and quantum
fluids can exhibit. Although classical turbulence is ubiquitous in nature, the observation of …

A review of recent advances in spacetime optics is given, with special emphasis on time
refraction. This is a basic optical process, occurring at a temporal discontinuity or temporal …

Stable vortex lattices are basic dynamical patterns which have been demonstrated in
physical systems including superconductor physics, Bose-Einstein condensates …

Quantum fluids of light are a photonic counterpart to atomic Bose gases and are attracting
increasing interest for probing many-body physics quantum phenomena such as …

Classical nonlinear waves exhibit a phenomenon of condensation that results from the
natural irreversible process of thermalization, in analogy with the quantum Bose-Einstein …

We report on the formation of a dispersive shock wave in a nonlinear optical medium. We
monitor the evolution of the shock by tuning the incoming beam power. The experimental …

Nonlinear optics has been a very dynamic field of research with spectacular phenomena
discovered mainly after the invention of lasers. The combination of high intensity fields with …

We present experimental and theoretical results on formation of quantum vortices in a laser
beam propagating in a nonlinear medium. Topological constrains richer than the mere …

In addition to enhancing confinement, restricting optical systems to two dimensions gives
rise to new photonic states, modified transport and distinct nonlinear effects. Here we …
