Observation of linear and nonlinear light trapping on topological dislocations
S. K. Ivanov, A. V. Kireev, K. Sabour +11
Topological dislocations in otherwise periodic lattices represent global structural defects that, nevertheless, typically leave the lattice periodicity intact far from the dislocat…
Observation of nonlinear higher-order topological insulators with unconventional boundary truncations
Changming Huang, Alexander V. Kireev, Yuxin Jiang +10
In higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs), topologically nontrivial phases are usually associated with the shift of Wannier centers to topologically nontrivial positions on th…
Observation of nonlinear topological corner states originating from different spectral charges
Victor O. Kompanets, Suge Feng, Yiqi Zhang +11
Higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) are unique topological materials supporting edge states with the dimensionality at least by two lower than the dimensionality of the und…
Measurements of Optical Kerr Nonlinearity n2 in Compressed Gases
Yury E. Geints, Victor O. Kompanets, Sergey V. Chekalin
High-power optical pulses experience self-focusing when propagating in a gaseous medium due to the manifestation of the cubic (Kerr-like) nonlinearity. The magnitude of this effect…
Observation of Light Localization at the Edges of Quasicrystal Waveguide Arrays
S. K. Ivanov, S. A. Zhuravitskii, N. S. Kostyuchenko +10
Quasicrystals are unique systems that, unlike periodic structures, lack translational symmetry but exhibit long-range order dramatically enriching the system properties. While evol…
