Abstract 2D and 3D solitons and related states, such as quantum droplets, can appear in
optical systems, atomic Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) and liquid crystals, among other …

Orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light is an important feature of structured
electromagnetic fields exhibiting non-uniform spatial distribution. In contrast to a spin …

We address the formation of topological states in twisted circular waveguide arrays and find
that twisting leads to important differences of the fundamental properties of new vortex …

We present an all-optical routing scheme based simultaneously on optically induced
photonic structures and the Airy beam family. The presented work utilizes these accelerating …

What we believe is a new scheme for producing semidiscrete self-trapped vortices (“swirling
photon droplets”) in photonic crystals with competing quadratic (χ^(2)) and self-defocusing …

We show that optical moiré lattices enable the existence of vortex solitons of different types
in self-focusing Kerr media. We address the properties of such states both in lattices having …

The feasibility of realizing a photonic Floquet topological insulator (PFTI) in an atomic
ensemble is demonstrated. The interference of three coupling fields will split energy levels …

We propose a simple dissipative system with purely cubic defocusing nonlinearity and
nonuniform linear gain that can support stable localized dissipative vortex solitons with high …

We introduce partially-parity-time (p PT)-symmetric azimuthal potentials composed from
individual PT-symmetric cells located on a ring, where two azimuthal directions are …

Singular and nonsingular flat bands in a Sierpinski fractal‐like photonic lattice are reported.
It is demonstrated that the lowest two bands, being isolated and degenerate due to …
