Abstract 2D and 3D solitons and related states, such as quantum droplets, can appear in
optical systems, atomic Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) and liquid crystals, among other …

Space-time wave packets (STWPs) constitute a broad class of pulsed optical fields that are
rigidly transported in linear media without diffraction or dispersion, and are therefore …

Rapidly growing demands for fast information processing have launched a race for creating
compact and highly efficient optical devices that can reliably transmit signals without losses …

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 …

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

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 …

We introduce a new class of nondiffracting optical pulses possessing orbital angular
momentum. By generalizing the X-wave solution of the Maxwell equation, we discover the …

Coherent vortex structures are fascinating physical objects that are widespread in nature:
from large scale atmospheric phenomena, such as tornadoes and the Great Red Spot of …

Long-lived light bullets fully localized in both space and time can be generated in novel
photonic media such as multicore optical fiber or waveguide arrays. In this paper we present …

We observe nonlinear pulse reshaping of femtosecond pulses in a waveguide array owing
to coupling between waveguides. Amplified pulses from a mode-locked fiber laser are …
