Discrete solitons in optics

F Lederer, GI Stegeman, DN Christodoulides… - Physics Reports, 2008‏ - Elsevier
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 …

Dissipative solitons

HG Purwins, HU Bödeker, S Amiranashvili - Advances in Physics, 2010‏ - Taylor & Francis
The present review summarizes experimental and theoretical work dealing with self-
organized solitary localized structures (LSs) that are observed in spatially extended …

Soliton shape and mobility control in optical lattices

YV Kartashov, VA Vysloukh, L Torner - Progress in Optics, 2009‏ - Elsevier

advances in the area of soliton manipulation in optical lattices. Optical lattices offer the …

Discrete solitons and soliton-induced dislocations in partially coherent photonic lattices

H Martin, ED Eugenieva, Z Chen, DN Christodoulides - Physical review letters, 2004‏ - APS
We investigate both experimentally and theoretically the interaction between a light beam
and a photonic lattice optically induced with partially coherent light. We demonstrate a clear …

Spatial photonics in nonlinear waveguide arrays

JW Fleischer, G Bartal, O Cohen, T Schwartz… - Optics express, 2005‏ - opg.optica.org
The recent proposal of optical induction for producing nonlinear photonic lattices has
revolutionized the study of nonlinear waves in waveguide arrays. In particular, it enabled the …

Cavity solitons in broad-area vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers below threshold

X Hachair, S Barland, L Furfaro, M Giudici, S Balle… - Physical Review A …, 2004‏ - APS
Cavity solitons are stationary self-organized bright intensity peaks which form over a
homogeneous background in the section of broad area radiation beams. They are …

Anisotropic Enhancement of Discrete Diffraction and Formation<? format?> of Two-Dimensional Discrete-Soliton Trains

Z Chen, H Martin, ED Eugenieva, J Xu, A Bezryadina - Physical review letters, 2004‏ - APS
We demonstrate anisotropic enhancement of discrete diffraction and formation of discrete-
soliton trains in an optically induced photonic lattice. Such discrete behavior of light …

Coherent backscattering and Anderson localization of light

CM Aegerter, G Maret - Progress in Optics, 2009‏ - Elsevier
In this review we discuss localization of waves by multiple scattering. In the weak case, also
known as coherent backscattering, there is a twofold enhancement of the reflected intensity …

Supersolidity of cnoidal waves in an ultracold Bose gas

GI Martone, A Recati, N Pavloff - Physical Review Research, 2021‏ - APS
A one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate may experience nonlinear periodic
modulations known as cnoidal waves. We argue that such structures represent promising …

Two-dimensional self-trapped nonlinear photonic lattices

AS Desyatnikov, N Sagemerten, R Fischer… - Optics express, 2006‏ - opg.optica.org
We predict theoretically and generate experimentally in pho-torefractive crystal two-
dimensional self-trapped periodic waves of different symmetries, including vortex lattices …
