Bandgap engineering and defect modes in photonic crystals with rotated hexagonal holes
Aaron F. Matthews, Sergei F. Mingaleev, Yuri S. Kivshar
We study the bandgap structure of two-dimensional photonic crystals created by a triangular lattice of rotated hexagonal holes, and explore the effects of the reduced symmetry in t…
Dark Matter-Wave Solitons in Optical Lattices
Pearl J. Y. Louis, Elena A. Ostrovskaya, Yuri S. Kivshar
We analyze the Floquet-Bloch matter-wave spectrum of Bose-Einstein condensates loaded into single-periodic optical lattices and double-periodic superlattices. In the framework of t…
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…
Giant Goos-Hanchen effect at the reflection from left-handed metamaterials
Ilya V. Shadrivov, Alexander A. Zharov, Yuri S. Kivshar
We study the beam reflection from a layered structure with a left-handed metamaterial. We predict a giant lateral (Goos-Hanchen) shift and splitting of the beam due to the resonant…
