We report on the phenomenon of controllable soliton dragging by dynamical optical lattices induced by three imbalanced interfering plane waves. Because of such an imbalance, the transverse momentum of the lattice does not vanish, and thus…

Solitons are universal nonlinear excitations that appear in settings as varied as optics, water waves, and quantum gases [1-5]. While reduced models of soliton dynamics are well established, their validity and dynamical behaviour in…

We study the mobility of solitons in second-harmonic-generating lattices. Contrary to what is known for their cubic counterparts, discrete quadratic solitons are mobile not only in the one-dimensional (1D) setting, but also in two…

Topological dislocations in otherwise periodic lattices represent global structural defects that, nevertheless, typically leave the lattice periodicity intact far from the dislocation. Such dislocations arise in diverse physical systems…

In the present work, we propose a new set of coherent structures that arise in nonlinear dynamical lattices with more than one components, namely interlaced solitons. These are waveforms in which in the relevant anti-continuum limit, i.e.…
