Surface lattice kink solitons
Yaroslav V. Kartashov, Victor A. Vysloukh, Lluis Torner
We predict theoretically that surface of an optical lattice imprinted in defocusing nonlinear media can support shock, or kink waves. Such new surface waves contain a modulationall…
Vector soliton fission by reflection at nonlinear interfaces
Fangwei Ye, Yaroslav V. Kartashov, Lluis Torner
We address the reflection of vector solitons, comprising several components that exhibit multiple field oscillations, at the interface between two nonlinear media. We reveal that r…
Asymmetric matter-wave solitons at nonlinear interfaces
Fangwei Ye, Yaroslav V. Kartashov, Lluis Torner
We predict the existence and study the basic properties of strongly asymmetric matter wave solitons that form at the interface produced by regions with different inter-atomic inter…

We present the experimental observation of scalar multi-pole solitons in highly nonlocal nonlinear media, including dipole-, tri-pole, quadru-pole, and necklace-type solitons, orga…

Yaroslav V. Kartashov, Victor A. Vysloukh, Lluis Torner
We reveal that lattice interfaces imprinted in nonlocal nonlinear media support surface solitons that do not exist in other similar settings, including interfaces of local and nonl…

Yaroslav V. Kartashov, Victor A. Vysloukh, Dumitru Mihalache +1
We discover that at the edge of optical lattice imprinted in saturable nonlinear media one-dimensional surface solitons exist only within a band of light intensities, and that they…
Soliton control in fading optical lattices
Yaroslav V. Kartashov, Victor A. Vysloukh, Lluis Torner
We predict new phenomena, such as soliton steering and soliton fission, in optical lattices that fade away exponentially along the propagation direction. Such lattices, featuring t…

Yaroslav V. Kartashov, Lluis Torner
We discover multipole-mode solitons supported by the surface between two distinct periodic lattices imprinted in Kerr-type nonlinear media. Such solitons are possible because the r…

We introduce vector soliton complexes in nonlocal Kerr-type nonlinear media. We discover that under proper conditions the combination of nonlocality and vectorial coupling has a re…

We theoretically investigate the existence and properties of hybrid surface waves forming at interfaces between left-handed materials and dielectric birefringent media. The existen…
