Experimental observation of linear and nonlinear optical bloch oscillations
Physical Review Letters, 1999•APS
We experimentally demonstrate the occurrence of optical Bloch oscillations in a waveguide
array with linearly growing effective index of the individual guides. We monitored the output
profiles for varying propagation lengths and observed a periodic transverse motion of the
field and a complete recovery of the initial excitation. The action of the focusing nonlinearity
leads to a loss of recovery, symmetry breaking, and power-induced beam spreading.

Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate the occurrence of optical Bloch oscillations in a waveguide array with linearly growing effective index of the individual guides. We monitored the output profiles for varying propagation lengths and observed a periodic transverse motion of the field and a complete recovery of the initial excitation. The action of the focusing nonlinearity leads to a loss of recovery, symmetry breaking, and power-induced beam spreading.
