Controlled generation and steering of spatial gap solitons
Dragomir Neshev, Andrey A. Sukhorukov, Brendan Hanna +2
We demonstrate the first fully controlled generation of immobile and slow spatial gap solitons in nonlinear periodic systems with band-gap spectra, and reveal the key features of g…
Nonlinear Bloch-wave interaction and Bragg scattering in optically-induced lattices
Andrey A. Sukhorukov, Dragomir Neshev, Wieslaw Krolikowski +1
We study, both theoretically and experimentally, the Bragg scattering of light in optically-induced photonic lattices and reveal the key physical mechanisms which govern nonlinear…
Observation of transverse instabilities in optically-induced lattices
Dragomir Neshev, Andrey A. Sukhorukov, Yuri S. Kivshar +1
We study experimentally the Bloch-wave instabilities in optically-induced lattices. We reveal two different instability scenarios associated with either the transverse modulational…
Ring dark solitary waves: experiment versus theory
A. Dreischuh, D. Neshev, G. G. Paulus +2
Theoretical and experimental results on optical ring dark solitary waves are presented, emphasizing the interplay between initial dark beam contrast, phase-shift magnitude, backgro…
