This article offers a comprehensive survey of results obtained for solitons and complex
nonlinear wave patterns supported by nonlinear lattices (NLs), which represent a spatially …

We address the impact of nonlocality in the physical features exhibited by solitons supported
by Kerr-type nonlinear media with an imprinted optical lattice. We discover that the …

This article serves as an introduction to the focus issue on optical solitons. After a short
review of the history of solitons and the field of integrable systems, a brief overview of the …

We demonstrate second-band bright vortex-array solitons in photonic lattices. This
constitutes the first experimental observation of higher-band solitons in any 2D periodic …

Fundamental and vortex solitons in a two-dimensional optically induced waveguide array
are reported. In the strong localization regime the fundamental soliton is largely confined to …

Vortex-Ring ‘‘Discrete’’ Solitons in 2D Photonic Lattices Jason W. Fleischer,1,2 Guy Bartal,1 Oren …

We overview theoretical and experimental results on spatial optical solitons excited in arrays
of nonlinear waveguides. First, we briefly summarize the basic properties of the discrete …

An AlGaAs waveguide array below the half-bandgap is used to investigate experimentally
basic dynamic features of discrete systems. In particular, nonlinear locking of a discrete …

The current research into solitons and their use in fiber optic communications is very
important to the future of communications. Since the advent of computer networking and …
