We study nonlinear wave phenomena in coupled ring resonator optical waveguides in the tight coupling regime. A discrete model for the system dynamics is put forward and its steady state nonlinear Bloch modes are derived. The switching…

The concept of lasers based on the frozen mode regime in active periodic optical waveguides with a 3rd-order exceptional point of degeneracy (EPD) is advanced. The frozen mode regime in a lossless and gainless waveguide is associated with a…

We report on the first experimental observation of discrete gap solitons in binary arrays of optical waveguides. We observe the soliton generation when the inclination angle of an input beam is slightly above the Bragg angle, and show that…

We investigate quantum tunneling phenomena for an optical lattice subjected to a bichromatic ac force. We show that incommensurability of the frequencies leads to super Bloch oscillation. We propose directed super Bloch oscillation for the…

We introduce discrete systems in the form of straight (infinite) and ring-shaped chains, with two symmetrically placed nonlinear sites. The systems can be implemented in nonlinear optics (as waveguiding arrays) and BEC (by means of an…

We present a method to simultaneously engineer the energy-momentum dispersion and the local density of optical states. Using vertical symmetry-breaking in high-contrast gratings, we enable the mixing of modes with different parities, thus…

We introduce continuous supersymmetric transformations to manipulate the modal content in systems of optical waveguides, providing a systematic method to design efficient and robust integrated devices such as tapered waveguides,…

We investigate Bloch oscillations of wave packets in monolayer phosphorene with broken inversion symmetry. We find that the real space trajectories, Berry and group velocities of Bloch electron undergo Bloch oscillations in the system. The…

We report on experiments studying transport properties of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice of spatial period $\lambda/2n$, where $n$ is an integer, realized with the dispersion of multiphoton Raman transitions. We…

Recently, the lattice shaking technique has been used to couple different Bloch bands resonantly. For the one-dimensional (1D) case, in which shaking is along only one direction, experimental observation of domain-wall formation has been…

Theoretical study of dynamical phenomena induced by a linearly polarized plane wave incident perpendicularly on a planar aligned nematic layer with the light intensity as the control parameter is reported. We find the threshold of the…

We demonstrate numerically the existence of nonlinear Tamm oscillations at the interface between a substrate and one-dimensional waveguide array with both cubic and saturable, self-focusing and self-defocusing nonlinearity. Light is trapped…

We study stability of superflow of Bose gases in optical lattices by analyzing the Bose-Hubbard model within the Gutzwiller mean-field approximation. We calculate the excitation spectra of the homogeneous Bose-Hubbard model at unit filling…

Coupled plasmon modes are studied in graded plasmonic waveguides, which are periodic chains of metallic nanoparticles embedded in a host with gradually varying refractive indices. We identify three types of localized modes called "light",…

We study the possibility of switching the types of symmetry breaking bifurcation (SBB) in the cylinder shell waveguide with helical double-well potential along propagation direction. This model is described by the one-dimensional nonlinear…

Spectral behaviors of photonic resonators have been the basis for a range of fundamental studies, with applications in classical and quantum technologies. Driven nonlinear resonators provide a fertile ground for phenomena related to phase…

Bloch oscillations originate from the translational symmetry of crystals. These oscillations occur with a fundamental period that a semiclassical wavepacket takes to traverse a Brillouin-zone loop. We introduce a new type of Bloch…

In ref. [1] we analyzed the properties of a Degenerate Optical Parametric Oscillator (DOPO) tuned to the first transverse mode family at the signal frequency. Above threshold, a Hermite-Gauss mode with an arbitrary orientation in the…

We exploit balancing the complex optical energy between scattering and guiding states at contrived exceptional points of degeneracy in order to form an active waveguide without utilizing an active medium. This study reports peculiar…

We propose a scheme to control and enhance atomic Bloch oscillations via photon-mediated interactions in an optical lattice supported by a standing-wave cavity with incommensurate lattice and cavity wavelengths. Our scheme uses…
