Abstract
The position and motion of localized states of light in propagative geometries can be controlled via an adequate parameter modulation. Here, we show theoretically and experimentally that this process can be accurately described as the phase locking of oscillators to an external forcing and that non-reciprocal interactions between light bits can drastically modify this picture. Interactions lead to the convective motion of defects and to unlocking as a collective emerging phenomenon.
