Controlling light transport in nonlinear active environments is a topic of considerable interest
in the field of optics. In such complex arrangements, of particular importance is to devise …

We review both theoretical and experimental advances in the recently emerged field of
modulated photonic lattices. These artificial periodic dielectric structures provide a powerful …

Magnetic effects at optical frequencies are notoriously weak, so magneto-optical devices
must be large to create a sufficient effect. In graphene, it has been shown that …

Topological insulators and topological superconductors are distinguished by their bulk
phase transitions and gapless states at a sharp boundary with the vacuum. Quasicrystals …

Engineered photonic waveguides have provided in the past decade an extremely rich
laboratory tool to visualize with optical waves the classic analogues of a wide variety of …

A comparative review is given of some well-known and some recent results obtained in
studies of two-and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) solitons, with emphasis on states carrying …

We propose solitons in a photonic topological insulator: self-localized wave packets forming
topological edge states residing in the bulk of a nonlinear photonic topological insulator …

Graphene, a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms, has been attracting much
interest in recent years. Electrons therein behave as massless relativistic particles, giving …

The nonlinear propagation of coherent optical fields has been extensively explored in the
framework of nonlinear optics, while the linear propagation of incoherent fields has been …

The induction of synthetic magnetic fields on lattice structures allows an effective control of
their localization and transport properties. In this Letter, we generate effective π magnetic …
