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

In this work, we discuss the resonance states of a quantum particle in a periodic potential
plus a static force. Originally, this problem was formulated for a crystal electron subject to a …

We experimentally demonstrate the occurrence of optical Bloch oscillations in a waveguide
array with linearly growing effective index of the individual guides. We monitored the output …

We report the observation of optical Bloch oscillations in waveguide arrays. The required
linear variation of the propagation constant across the thermo-optic polymer array was …

We report on the observation of Bloch oscillations in light transport through periodic
dielectric systems. By introducing a linear refractive index gradient along the propagation …

We propose to use periodically spaced, curved optical waveguides for observation of optical
Bloch oscillations. The refractive index distribution in this system is equivalent to the sum of …

It is unanimously accepted that the quantum and the classical descriptions of the physical
reality are very different, although any quantum process is" mysteriously" transformed …

We report the first observation of oscillations of the electromagnetic field in an optical
superlattice based on porous silicon. These oscillations are an optical equivalent of well …

We report on the observation of Zener tunneling of light waves in spectral and time-resolved
transmission measurements, performed on an optical superlattice made of porous silicon …

This book opens a new avenue to an engendering field of applied physics, located at the
“crossing” of modern photonics, electromagnetics, acoustics and material science. It also …
