Observation of two-dimensional surface solitons in anisotropic waveguide arrays
A. Szameit, Y. V. Kartashov, F. Dreisow +4
We report on the experimental observation of two-dimensional surface waves localized at the edge or in the corner of femtosecond laser-written waveguide arrays in fused silica. Inc…
