Periodic and quasi-periodic nonlinear photonic crystals
Nonlinear photonic crystals are materials in which the second order susceptibility is modulated, while the linear susceptibility remains constant. In this paper, quasi-phase matching possibilities in ...

Discrete one dimensional surface solitons
The propagation of solitons along the interface between two dielectric nonlinear media was investigated theoretically extensively in the 1980s but never realized experimentally. Recently we predicted ...

Wereview our experimental development in the field of optical lattices,emphasizing their unique properties for control of linear and nonlinearpropagation of light. We draw some important links between opticallattices and photonic crystals, pointing towards practical applications in thefields of optical communications and computing, beam shaping, and bio-sensing.
