Nonlinear Photonic Systems
Nonlinear Photonic Systems is a research topic within Statistical and Nonlinear Physics. Science Explorer counts 31k research works in it since 1951. 19.4% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers explores the behavior of discrete solitons in nonlinear photonic systems, including their observation, stability, and interactions in various media such as optical lattices, waveguide arrays, and nematic liquid crystals. The studies also delve into the phenomena of modulational instability and the dynamics of solitons in granular chains.
