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

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 …

The nonlinear propagation of coherent optical fields has been extensively explored in the
framework of nonlinear optics, while the linear propagation of incoherent fields has been …

We study the effect of nonlinearity on systems with periodic parity-time (PT) symmetry, and
show that nonlinearity can transform the system from broken to full PT symmetry and vice …

We present a progress overview focused on the recent theoretical and experimental
advances in the area of soliton manipulation in optical lattices. Optical lattices offer the …

Gaining insight into the nature and dynamics of the transition state is the essence of
mechanistic investigations of chemical reactions, yet the fleeting configuration when existing …

We consider the long-term evolution of a random nonlinear wave that propagates in a
multimode optical waveguide. The optical wave exhibits a thermalization process …

The recent proposal of optical induction for producing nonlinear photonic lattices has
revolutionized the study of nonlinear waves in waveguide arrays. In particular, it enabled the …

We present a novel, real-time, experimental technique for linear and nonlinear Brillouin
zone spectroscopy of photonic lattices. The method relies on excitation with random-phase …

The momentum distribution (MD) dynamics of a Tonks-Girardeau (TG) gas is studied in the
context of Bragg reflections of a many-body wave packet. We find strong suppression of a …
