We demonstrate that optical discrete solitons are possible in appropriately oriented biased
photorefractive crystals. This can be accomplished in optically induced periodic waveguide …

We report the first experimental observation of discrete solitons in an array of optically
induced waveguides. The waveguide lattice is induced in real time by illuminating a …

We study experimentally nonlinear localization effects in optically induced gratings created
by interfering plane waves in a photorefractive crystal. We demonstrate the generation of …

We provide an overview of recent experimental and theoretical developments in the area of
optical discrete solitons. By nature, discrete solitons represent self-trapped wavepackets in …

Dipole and quadrupole solitons in a two‐dimensional photorefractive optical lattice are
investigated both theoretically and experimentally. It is shown theoretically that out‐of‐phase …

We investigate both experimentally and theoretically the interaction between a light beam
and a photonic lattice optically induced with partially coherent light. We demonstrate a clear …

We report what we believe is the first experimental observation of bright-soliton-induced two-
dimensional waveguides. The waveguides are induced by two-dimensional photorefractive …

We report the first experimental demonstration of ring-shaped photonic lattices by optical
induction and the formation of discrete solitons in such radially symmetric lattices. The …

We demonstrate anisotropic enhancement of discrete diffraction and formation of discrete-
soliton trains in an optically induced photonic lattice. Such discrete behavior of light …
