The state of the art of optical waveguide fabrication in lithium niobate is reviewed, with
particular emphasis on new technologies and recent applications. The attention is mainly …

The current research into solitons and their use in fiber optic communications is very
important to the future of communications. Since the advent of computer networking and …

We study experimentally steady-state photorefractive screening solitons trapped in both
transverse dimensions and measure their beam profiles as they propagate throughout the …

We analyze the evolution of (1+ 1) dimensional dark stripe beams in bulk media with a
photorefractive nonlinear response. These beams, including solitary wave solutions, are …

We show that ballistic transport of optically excited atoms in an atomic vapor provides a
nonlocal nonlinearity which stabilizes the propagation of vortex beams and higher order …

We propose a very efficient approach to interconnect together two metallic nanostrips
supporting the propagation of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waves by fabricating a …

Propagation of light beams in anisotropic nonlinear media: From symmetry breaking to spatial
turbulence Page 1 Propagation of light beams in anisotropic nonlinear media: From symmetry …

We investigate the interaction of mutually incoherent spatial solitons in photorefractive
media with anisotropic nonlocal nonlinear response. We show that the photorefractive …

The concept of optical beam self-trapping in pyroelectric photorefractive medium is
presented. We show that the temperature controlled spontaneous polarisation of …

We report the first observation of self-trapping of an optical vortex due to the bulk
photovoltaic effect. A singly charged vortex nested on a broad cw laser beam is trapped in …
