Bloch oscillations of spatio-temporal light wave packets in arrays of nonlinear fibers with high-order dispersion are studied. The light wave experiences discrete spatial diffraction along the waveguide array coordinate together with…
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…
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 light propagating in a waveguide array or photonic lattice has become an ideal platform to control light and to mimic quantum behaviors in a classical system. We here investigate the propagation of light in a coupled waveguide array…
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…
Light propagation in optical waveguides with periodically modulated index of refraction and alternating gain and loss are investigated for linear and nonlinear systems. Based on a multiscale perturbation analysis, it is shown that for many…
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 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 address light propagation in segmented waveguide arrays where the refractive index is longitudinally modulated with an out-of-phase modulation in adjacent waveguides, so that the coupling strength varies along propagation direction. Thus…
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…
We study the polarization properties of elliptical femtosecond-laser-written waveguides arrays. A new analytical model is presented to explain the asymmetry of the spatial transverse profiles of linearly polarized modes in these waveguides.…
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…
Free-space light beams with complex intensity patterns, or non-trivial phase structure, are demanded in diverse fields, ranging from classical and quantum optical communications, to manipulation and imaging of microparticles and cells.…
General properties of linear propagation of discretized light in homogeneous and curved waveguide arrays are comprehensively investigated and compared to those of paraxial diffraction in continuous media. In particular, general laws…
Light propagation in periodic environments is often associated with a number of interesting and potentially useful processes. If a crystalline optical potential is also linearly ramped, light can undergo periodic Bloch oscillations, a…
We study the reflection of Bloch wavepackets at the interface of optical lattice possessing a shallow longitudinal out-of-phase refractive index modulation in adjacent waveguides. We show that the relation between the transmitted and…
We derive and validate a set of coupled Bloch wave equations for analyzing the reflection and transmission properties of active semiconductor photonic crystal waveguides. In such devices, slow-light propagation can be used to enhance the…
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 review both theoretical and experimental advances in the recently emerged physics of modulated photonic lattices. Artificial periodic dielectric media, such as photonic crystals and photonic lattices, provide a powerful tool for the…
In gratings travelling at nearly the velocity of light a symmetry breaking transition is observed between free-flowing fluid-like Bloch waves observed at lower grating velocities and, at luminal velocities, condensed, localised states of…
