This article offers a comprehensive survey of results obtained for solitons and complex
nonlinear wave patterns supported by nonlinear lattices (NLs), which represent a spatially …

We review the recent developments of spatial optical solitons in nematic liquid crystals, also
known as Nematicons. We outline their properties, linked to a reorientational nonlinearity in …

Dynamic steering of laser beams by ultrathin optical metasurfaces is a significant research
advance for possible applications in remote ranging and sensing. A unique platform for such …

Solitons attract a great deal of interest in many fields, ranging from optics to fluid mechanics,
cosmology, particle physics and condensed matter. However, solitons of these very different …

Random lasers (RLs) are a particular class of optical devices. In a random laser, the optical
feedback is provided by scattering media rather than by an optical cavity, as for traditional …

We introduce novel classes of higher-order spatial optical solitons in analogy with Laguerre-
Gaussian and Hermite-Gaussian linear eigenmodes. We reveal that stable higher-order …

The Goos-Hänchen (GH) shift and the Imbert-Fedorov (IF) shift are optical phenomena
which describe the longitudinal and transverse lateral shifts at the reflection interface …

The ultimate augmented reality (AR) should be a glass-type see-through display with
uncompromised optical performances. The major technical challenge of present AR display …

Metasurfaces with sub-wavelength features are useful in modulating the phase, amplitude or
polarization of electromagnetic fields. While several applications are reported for light …

We demonstrate the existence of a broad class of higher-order rotating spatial solitons in
nonlocal nonlinear media. We employ the generalized Hermite–Laguerre–Gaussian ansatz …
