We analyze spatiotemporal light localization in truncated two-dimensional photonic lattices and demonstrate the existence of two-dimensional surface light bullets localized in the lattice corners or the edges. We study the families of the spatiotemporal surface solitons and their properties such as bistability and compare them with the modes located deep inside the photonic lattice.read more

Discrete Solitons in Optics
Falk Lederer,George I. Stegeman,Demetri N. Christodoulides,Gaetano Assanto,M. Segev,Yaron Silberberg +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of recent experimental and theoretical developments in the area of optical discrete solitons, which represent self-trapped wavepackets in nonlinear periodic structures and result from the interplay between lattice diffraction (or dispersion) and material nonlinearity.

Optical spatial solitons: historical overview and recent advances
TL;DR: A brief overview of optical spatial solitons is provided, which will cover a variety of issues pertaining to self-trapped waves supported by different types of nonlinearities, as well as various families of spatialsolitons such as optical lattice soliton and surface solitONS.

Light propagation and localization in modulated photonic lattices and waveguides
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review both theoretical and experimental advances in the recently emerged physics of modulated photonic lattices, and show that the light propagation in periodic photonic structures resembles the motion of electrons in a crystalline lattice of semiconductor materials.

Nonlinear Tamm states and surface effects in periodic photonic structures
TL;DR: A brief overview of the basic concepts and important experimental observations of the effect of light localization near the surfaces of truncated periodic photonic structures can be found in this paper, where the authors discuss the formation of nonlinear localized modes and discrete surface solitons near the edges of non-linear optical waveguide arrays and two-dimensional photonic lattices and draw an analogy between the nonlinear surface optical modes and surface Tamm states known in the electronic theory.
