We have studied harmonic oscillations in an elliptical optical waveguide array in which the coupling between neighboring waveguides is varied in accord with a Kac matrix so that the propagation constant eigenvalues can take equally spaced…

We show that nonreciprocal optical Bloch-like oscillations can emerge in transversely magnetized waveguide arrays in the presence of an effective index step between the waveguides. Normal modes of the system are shown to acquire different…

We have studied the propagation and Zener tunneling of light in the binary parabolic optical waveguide array (BPOWA), which consists of two evanescently coupled dissimilar optical waveguides. Due to Bragg reflections, BPOWA attains two…

The multiple scattering formalism is proposed describing the guided modes in the optical waveguide array within the framework of macroscopic electrodynamics. It is shown that, under sufficiently general assumptions, our approach justifies…

A photonic realization of Bloch oscillations (BOs) of two correlated electrons that move on a one-dimensional periodic lattice, based on spatial light transport in a square waveguide array with a defect line, is theoretically proposed. The…

We find the exact Bloch oscillations in zigzag arrays of curved optical waveguides under the influence of arbitrary long-range coupling. The curvature induces a linear transverse potential gradient in the equations of the light evolution.…

Bloch oscillations are a phenomenon well known from quantum mechanics where electrons in a lattice experience an oscillatory motion in the presence of an electric field gradient. Here, we report on Bloch oscillations of hybrid light-matter…

The localization (confinement) of coupled plasmon modes, named as gradons, has been studied in metal nanoparticle chains immersed in a graded dielectric host. We exploited the time evolution of various initial wavepackets formed by the…

The anharmonic Bloch oscillations of a light beam in the array of optical waveguides are considered. The coupling modes model (CMM) with the second order interaction is used to describe the effect analytically. The formula obtained predicts…

A standing-wave control field applied to a three-level atomic medium in a planar hollow-core photonic crystal waveguide creates periodic variations of linear and nonlinear refractive indexes of the medium. This property can be used for…

We study optical Bloch oscillations in the one- and two-dimensional arrays of helical waveguides with transverse refractive index gradient. Longitudinal rotation of waveguides may lead to notable variations of the width of the band of…

Bloch oscillations (BOs) of polychromatic beams in circularly-curved optical waveguide arrays are smeared out owing to the dependence of the BO spatial period on wavelength. Here it is shown that restoring of the self-imaging property of…

The Bloch oscillations in the zigzag array of the optical waveguides are considered. The multiple scattering formalism (MSF) is used for the numerical simulation of the optical beam which propagates within the array. The effect of the…

Bloch oscillations (BOs) refer to a periodically oscillatory motion of particle in lattice systems driven by a constant force. By temporally modulating acoustic waveguides, BOs can be generalized from spatial to frequency domain, opening…

Bloch oscillations refer to the periodic oscillation of a wavepacket in a lattice under a constant force. Typically, the oscillation has a fundamental period that corresponds to the wavepacket traversing the first Brillouin zone once. Here…

We investigate optical Bloch oscillation, Zener tunneling and breathing modes in arrays of optical waveguides. We perform a new method of calculation based on the multiple scattering formalism. To demonstrate Bloch oscillation and breathing…

This work is devoted to Bloch oscillations (BO) of cold neutral atoms in optical lattices. After a general introduction to the phenomenon of BO and its realization in optical lattices, we study different extentions of this problem, which…

Zener tunneling in a binary array of coupled optical waveguides with transverse index gradient is shown to produce a sequence of regular or irregular beam splitting and beam recombination events superimposed to Bloch oscillations. These…

Guided modes of an open periodic waveguide, with a periodicity in the main propagation direction, are Bloch modes confined around the waveguide core with no radiation loss in the transverse directions. Some guided modes can have a complex…

Domain walls in type I degenerate optical parametric oscillators are numerically investigated. Both steady Ising and moving Bloch walls are found, bifurcating one into another through a nonequilibrium Ising--Bloch transition. Bloch walls…
