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 present a method to demonstrate Anderson localization in an optically induced
randomized potential. By usage of computer controlled spatial light modulators, we are able …

The evolution of the state of polarization (SoP) in a twisted vector optical field (TVOF) with an
astigmatic phase in a strongly nonlocal nonlinear medium (SNNM) is investigated. The effect …

We study experimentally two-dimensional periodic photonic lattices optically imprinted in
photorefractive nonlinear media, and explore the effect of anisotropy on the induced …

We demonstrate control over the acceleration of two-dimensional Airy beams propagating in
optically induced photonic lattices. Depending on the lattice strength, we observe a slowing …

The evolution properties of a vortex Hermite cosine-hyperbolic-Gaussian beam (vHChGB)
propagating in a strongly nonlocal nonlinear media (SNNM) are examined theoretically …

We investigate the formation of fundamental discrete solitons and dipole-mode gap solitons
in triangular photonic lattices imprinted in photorefractive nonlinear media. These lattices …

We theoretically and numerically study the evolution properties of a hypergeometric-
Gaussian type-II (HyGG-II) beam in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media (SNNM). The …

We introduce an experimental approach to realize aperiodic photonic lattices based on
multiplexing of nondiffracting Bessel beams. This holographic optical induction scheme …

Coherent backscattering, also referred to as weak localization, is an exciting
multidisciplinary phenomenon that appears in disordered systems of multiple coherent-wave …
