We report the first observation of discrete optical surface solitons at the interface between a
nonlinear self-focusing waveguide lattice and a continuous medium. The effect of power on …

We investigate the generation of discrete spatial solitons in arrays of coupled waveguides.
Light was launched into the center of the array, and different beam sizes and array …

We reveal the existence of asymmetric vortex solitons in ideally symmetric periodic lattices
and show how such nonlinear localized structures describing elementary circular flows can …

A survey of some recent theoretical and experimental studies on localized structures that
form and propagate in a broad class of optical and matter-wave media is presented. The …

We report the first observation of stationary necklacelike solitons. Such necklace structures
were realized when a high-order vortex beam was launched appropriately into a two …

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

We introduce the concept of soliton clusters—multisoliton bound states in a homogeneous
bulk optical medium—and reveal a key physical mechanism for their stabilization associated …

A review of the varieties of optical solitons and their possible interactions, combined with the
requirements for a robust digital logic gate motivate the use of (3+ 1)-dimensional optical …

We introduce a dynamical model of a Bose-Einstein condensate based on the one-
dimensional (1D) Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) with a nonlinear optical lattice (NOL) …
