Recent progress on nonlinear properties of parity-time (PT)-symmetric systems is
comprehensively reviewed in this article. PT symmetry started out in non-Hermitian quantum …

Abstract Complex Ginzburg–Landau (CGL) equations serve as canonical models in a great
variety of physical settings, such as nonlinear photonics, dynamical phase transitions …

Solitons, nonlinear self-trapped wavepackets, have been extensively studied in many and
diverse branches of physics such as optics, plasmas, condensed matter physics, fluid …

Light propagating in linear and nonlinear waveguide lattices exhibits behaviour
characteristic of that encountered in discrete systems. The diffraction properties of these …

Nonlinear classical Hamiltonian lattices exhibit generic solutions—discrete breathers. They
are time-periodic and (typically exponentially) localized in space. The lattices have discrete …

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 …

Nonlinear periodic lattices occur in a large variety of systems, such as biological molecules,
nonlinear optical waveguides, solid-state systems and Bose–Einstein condensates. The …

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 …

In the course of the past several years, a new level of understanding has been achieved
about conditions for the existence, stability, and generation of spatiotemporal optical …

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