We report on the observation and characterization of broad-band waveguiding of surface gravity waves in an open channel, in the shallow water limit. The waveguide is constructed by changing locally the depth of the fluid ...

We study experimentally light localization at phase-slip waveguides and at the intersection of phase-slips in a two-dimensional (2D) square photonic lattice. Such system allows to observe a variety of effects, including ...

Predicting the scattering from waves that are incident on a damaged section of structure is of importance in structural health monitoring and nondestructive testing techniques to detect dam-age. High frequency waves are ...

We numerically study both linear and nonlinear surface modes in semi-infinite chirped two-dimensional photonic lattices in the framework of an effective discrete nonlinear model. We demonstrate that the lattice chirp can ...

We experimentally study the transport properties of dipolar and fundamental modes on one dimensional (1D) coupled waveguide arrays. By carefully modulating a wide optical beam, we are able to effectively excite dipolar or ...

We study discrete surface solitons in semi-infinite, one-dimensional, nonlinear (Kerr), quasiperiodic waveguide arrays of the Fibonacci and Aubry-Andre types, and explore different families of localized surface modes, as ...
