We study the influences to the discrete soliton (DS) by introducing linearly long-range nonlocal interactions, which give rise to the off-diagonal elements of the linearly coupled matrix in the discrete nonlinear schrodinger equation to be filled by non-zero terms. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations find that the DS under this circumstance can exhibit strong digital effects: the fundamental DS is a narrow one, which occupies nearly only one waveguide, the dipole and double-monopole solitons, which occupy two waveguides, can be found in self-focusing and -defocusing nonlinearities, respectively. Stable flat-top solitons and their stagger counterparts, which occupy a controllable number of waveguides, can also be obtained through this system. Such digital properties may give rise to additional data processing applications and have potential in fabricating digital optical devices in all-optical networks.

We report the observation of surface solitons in chirped semi-infinite waveguide arrays whose waveguides exhibit exponentially decreasing refractive indices. We show that the power threshold for surface wave formation decreases with an increase of th e array chirp and that for sufficiently large chirp values linear surface modes are supported.
We find the exact Bloch oscillations in zigzag arrays of curved optical waveguides under the influence of arbitrary long-range coupling. The curvature induces a linear transverse potential gradient in the equations of the light evolution. In the case of arrays with second-order coupling, steady states can be obtained as linear combinations of Bessel functions of integer index. The corresponding eigenvalues are equally spaced and form the well-known Wannier-Stark ladder, the spacing being independent of the second-order coupling. We also solve exactly the wave packet dynamics and compare it with experimental results. Accordingly we find that a broad optical pulse performs Bloch oscillations. Frequency doubling of the fundamental Bloch frequency sets up at finite values of the second-order coupling. On the contrary when a single waveguide is initially excited, a breathing mode is activated with no signature of Bloch oscillations. We present a generalization of our results to waveguide arrays subject to long-range coupling. In the general case the centroid of the wave packet shows the occurrence of multiples of the Bloch frequency up to the order of the interaction.

Propagation properties of light in optomechanical waveguides arrays (OMWAs) are studied for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. Due to the strong mechanical Kerr effect, the optical self-focusing and self-defocusing phenomena can be realize d in the arrays of subwavelength dielectric optomechanical waveguides with the milliwatt-level incident powers and micrometer-level lengths. Compared with the conventional nonlinear waveguide arrays, the required incident powers and lengths of the waveguides are decreased by five orders of magnitude and one order of magnitude, respectively. Furthermore, by adjusting the deformation of the nanowaveguides through a control light, the propagation path of the signal light in the OMWA can be engineered, which could be used as a splitting-ratio-tunable beam splitter. This work provides a new platform for discrete optics and broadens the application of integrated optomechanics.
We report what we believe is the weakest interaction between solitons ever observed. Our experiment involves temporal optical cavity solitons recirculating in a coherently-driven passive optical fibre ring resonator. We observe two solitons, separate d by up to 8,000 times their width, changing their temporal separation by a fraction of an attosecond per round-trip of the 100 m-long resonator, or equivalently 1/10,000 of the wavelength of the soliton carrier wave per characteristic dispersive length. The interactions are so weak that, at the speed of light, they require an effective propagation distance of the order of an astronomical unit to fully develop, i.e. tens of millions of kilometres. The interaction is mediated by transverse acoustic waves generated in the optical fibre by the propagating solitons through electrostriction.
We report on the experimental observation of corner surface solitons localized at the edges joining planar interfaces of hexagonal waveguide array with uniform nonlinear medium. The face angle between these interfaces has a strong impact on the thres hold of soliton excitation as well as on the light energy drift and diffraction spreading.
