It is shown that optomechanical forces can cause nonlinear self-channeling of light in a
planar dual-slab waveguide. A system of two parallel silica nanowebs, spaced∼ 100 nm …

We demonstrate and distinguish experimentally the existence of a special type of Fano
resonances at k≈ 0 in a macroscopic two-dimensional photonic crystal slab. We fabricate a …

We study the radiation emitted by an oscillating dipole moving with a constant velocity in a
photonic crystal, and analyze the effects that arise in the presence of a photonic band gap. It …

Light propagation in asymmetric Kerr-nonlinear multilayers with perfect transmission
resonances is theoretically investigated. It is found that hybrid Fabry-Perot-resonator …

We study coherent perfect absorption (CPA) of light in a Kerr nonlinear metal-dielectric
composite medium, illuminated from the opposite ends. Elementary symmetry …

The role of transverse effects in the polarization dynamics of light beams propagating in Kerr
materials is investigated. We show the existence of a novel class of vector-dark solitary …

In an earlier numerical study 1 it was shown that, under self-focusing conditions, transverse
spatial rings slowly evolved across the on spot of a switched-on beam in a bistable ring …

We demonstrate that ultrafast nonlinear dynamics gives rise to reciprocity breaking in a
random photonic medium. Reciprocity breaking is observed via the suppression of coherent …

We demonstrate that weak parametric interaction of a fundamental beam with its harmonic
field in a Kerr medium can drastically modify the beam dynamics, giving rise to very complex …

The multidimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation governs the spatial and temporal
evolution of an optical field inside a nonlinear dispersive medium. Although spatial …
