We provide an overview of recent experimental and theoretical developments in the area of
optical discrete solitons. By nature, discrete solitons represent self-trapped wavepackets in …

A review of some properties of chalcogenide glasses and the current status of their
applications is given. Techniques to characterize the linear and non-linear properties of …

The possibility of parity-time (PT) symmetric periodic potentials is investigated within the
context of optics. Beam dynamics in this new type of optical structures is examined in detail …

Examining classic theories, experimental methods, and practical formulas for exploration of
the core topics in nonlinear optics, the second edition of this acclaimed text was extensively …

In this chapter, we discuss the oscillation conditions for semiconductor lasers and, then,
derive the rate equations, which are the starting points of the study of chaotic dynamics in …

From its inception holography has proven an extremely productive and attractive area of
research. While specific technical applications give rise to 'hot topics', and three-dimensional …

Solitons are ubiquitous. Their description involves abstruse mathematics and is limited to a
two-dimensional idealization. A nonlocal model is presented that provides a radical …

In this work, we report a novel high capacity (number of degrees of freedom) open loop
adaptive optics method, termed digital optical phase conjugation (DOPC), which provides a …

The review gives a brief survey of NLO polymeric materials based on azobenzene units and
of high thermal and temporal stability. It starts with a brief introduction which comprises …
