Observation of 2nd band vortex solitons in 2D photonic lattices
arXiv:physics/0503118 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.053904
Abstract
We demonstrate second-band bright vortex-array solitons in photonic lattices. This constitutes the first experimental observation of higher-band solitons in any 2D periodic system. These solitons possess complex intensity and phase structures, yet they can be excited by a simple highly-localized vortex-ring beam. Finally, we show that the linear diffraction of such beams exhibits preferential transport along the lattice axes.
