The short de Broglie wavelength and strong interaction empower free electrons to probe scattering and excitations in materials and resolve the structure of biomolecules. Recent advances in using nanophotonic structures to mediate bilinear…
Continuous-wave laser driven Kerr-nonlinear, optical microresonators have enabled a variety of novel applications and phenomena including the generation of optical frequency combs, ultra-low noise microwaves, as well as, ultra-short optical…
Emergent phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and refer to spatial, temporal, or spatiotemporal pattern formation in complex nonlinear systems driven out of equilibrium that is not contained in the microscopic descriptions at the…
We numerically demonstrate the formation of the spatiotemporal version of the so-called diffractive resonant radiation generated in waveguide arrays with Kerr nonlinearity when a long pulse is launched into the system. The phase matching…

We demonstrate analytically and numerically that a subwavelength-core dielectric photonic nanowire embedded in a properly designed photonic crystal fiber cladding shows evidence of a previously unknown kind of nonlinearity (the magnitude of…
The discovery that externally-driven nonlinear optical resonators can sustain ultrashort pulses corresponding to coherent optical frequency combs has enabled landmark advances in applications from telecommunications to sensing. The main…
Dissipative solitons are self-localised structures that can persist indefinitely in "open" systems characterised by continual exchange of energy and/or matter with the environment. They play a key role in photonics, underpinning…
Breather solitons in passive, driven, Kerr-nonlinear optical resonators are circulating pulses of light that have amplitude, bandwidth, and duration that oscillate in time over the course of many resonator round trips. These breather…
Nonlinearity is a powerful determinant of physical systems. Controlling nonlinearity leads to interesting states of matter and new applications. In optics, diverse families of continuous and discrete states arise from balance of…
Entangled photon states are a fundamental resource for optical quantum technologies and investigating the fundamental predictions of quantum mechanics. Up to now such states are mainly generated in macroscopic nonlinear optical systems with…
Dissipative Kerr solitons are optical pulses propagating in a nonlinear dielectric waveguide without dispersing. These attractive properties have spurred much research into integrated soliton generation in microring resonators at telecom…
We propose a spinning nonlinear resonator as an experimentally accessible platform to achieve nonreciprocal control of optical solitons. Nonreciprocity here results from the relativistic Sagnac-Fizeau optical drag effect, which is different…
We show that the recently demonstrated technique for generating stationary pulses of light [Nature {\bf 426}, 638 (2003)] can be extended to localize optical pulses in all three spatial dimensions in a resonant atomic medium. This method…
