An exactly solvable discrete PT invariant nonlinear Schrödinger-like model is introduced. It is an integrable Hamiltonian system that exhibits a nontrivial nonlinear PT symmetry. A …
It has been known for some time that nonlinearity and discreteness play important roles in many branches of condensed-matter physics as evidenced by the appearance of domain …
We report on the observation of spatially localized excitations in a ladder of small Josephson junctions. The excitations are whirling states which persist under a spatially homogeneous …
The nonlinear vibrational properties of a periodic micromechanical oscillator array have been measured. For sufficiently large amplitude of the driver, the optic mode of the di …
In this paper we review a number of recent developments in the study of the Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation. Results concerning ground and excited states …
Graphene is the strongest material ever studied and can be an efficient substitute for silicon. This six-volume handbook focuses on fabrication methods, nanostructure and atomic …
Observation of Vortex-Ring ‘‘Discrete’’ Solitons in 2D Photonic Lattices Page 1 Observation of Vortex-Ring ‘‘Discrete’’ Solitons in 2D Photonic Lattices Jason W. Fleischer,1,2 Guy Bartal,1 Oren …
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 …
We experimentally prove that light propagation in a discrete system, ie, an array of coupled waveguides, exhibits striking anomalies. We show that refraction is restricted to a cone …
