The physics of a photonic structure is commonly described in terms of its apparent geometric
dimensionality. On the other hand, with the concept of synthetic dimension, it is in fact …

What do lotus flowers have in common with human bones, liquid crystals with colloidal
suspensions, and white beetles with the beautiful stones of the Taj Mahal? The answer is …

We study the generation of high-harmonic radiation by Bloch electrons in a model
transparent solid driven by a strong midinfrared laser field. We solve the single-electron time …

We present the experimental observation of bound states in the continuum. Our experiments
are carried out in an optical waveguide array structure, where the bound state (guided …

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

One of the most interesting phenomena in solid-state physics is Anderson localization,
which predicts that an electron may become immobile when placed in a disordered lattice …

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 …

Engineered photonic waveguides have provided in the past decade an extremely rich
laboratory tool to visualize with optical waves the classic analogues of a wide variety of …

We experimentally demonstrate at terahertz frequencies that a planar metamaterial exhibits
a spectral response resembling electromagnetically induced transparency. The …
