Light propagation and localization in modulated photonic lattices and waveguides
Ivan L. Garanovich, Stefano Longhi, Andrey A. Sukhorukov +1
We review both theoretical and experimental advances in the recently emerged physics of modulated photonic lattices. Artificial periodic dielectric media, such as photonic crystals…
Light Bullets in Nonlinear Periodically Curved Waveguide Arrays
Michal Matuszewski, Ivan L. Garanovich, Andrey A. Sukhorukov
We predict that stable mobile spatio-temporal solitons can exist in arrays of periodically curved optical waveguides. We find two-dimensional light bullets in one-dimensional array…
Diffraction-managed solitons and nonlinear beam diffusion in modulated arrays of optical waveguides
Alexander Szameit, Ivan L. Garanovich, Matthias Heinrich +10
We study propagation of light in nonlinear diffraction-managed photonic lattices created with arrays of periodically-curved coupled optical waveguides which were fabricated using f…
Defect-free surface states in modulated photonic lattices
Ivan L. Garanovich, Andrey A. Sukhorukov, Yuri S. Kivshar
We predict that interfaces of modulated photonic lattices can support a novel type of generic surface states. Such linear surface states appear in truncated but otherwise perfect (…
Nonlinear directional coupler for polychromatic light
Ivan L. Garanovich, Andrey A. Sukhorukov
We demonstrate that nonlinear directional coupler with special bending of waveguide axes can be used for all-optical switching of polychromatic light with very broad spectrum cover…
Broadband diffraction management and self-collimation of white light in photonic lattices
Ivan L. Garanovich, Andrey A. Sukhorukov, Yuri S. Kivshar
We suggest a novel type of photonic structures where the strength of diffraction can be managed in a very broad frequency range. We introduce optimized arrays of curved waveguides…
