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 …

Abstract Generalization of Fractional Schrödinger equation (FSE) into optics is
fundamentally important, since optics usually provides a fertile ground where FSE-related …

We report the observation of almost perfect light tunneling inhibition at the edge and inside
laser-written waveguide arrays due to band collapse. When the refractive index of the …

We study the propagation of non-diffracting images in kagome photonic lattices. In a weak-
coupling regime (discrete approach), the linear spectrum is composed by only three bands …

Fractional quantum coupler, a new type of quantum couplers that is composed of arrays of
two coupled waveguides or a dual-core waveguide with intermodal coupling, within which …

We experimentally demonstrate full two-dimensional focalization of light beams at visible
frequencies by a three-dimensional woodpile photonic crystal. The focalization (the flat …

We predict theoretically the nondiffractive propagation of sonic waves in periodic acoustic
media (sonic crystals) by expansion into a set of plane waves (Bloch mode expansion) and …

We propose an efficient method for spatial filtering of light beams by propagating them
through two-dimensional (also three dimensional) chirped photonic crystals, ie, through the …

A comprehensive review considering recent advances in self‐collimation and its
applications in optical integration is covered in the current article. Self‐collimation is …
