Observation of Bloch oscillations in complex PT-symmetric photonic lattices
Light propagation in periodic environments is often associated with a number of interesting and potentially useful processes. If a crystalline optical potential is also linearly ramped, light can undergo periodic Bloch oscillations, a direct outcome of localized Wannier-Stark states and their equidistant eigenvalue spectrum. Even though these effects have been extensively explored in conservati...
متن کاملFractional Bloch oscillations in photonic lattices.
Bloch oscillations, the oscillatory motion of a quantum particle in a periodic potential, are one of the most fascinating effects of coherent quantum transport. Originally studied in the context of electrons in crystals, Bloch oscillations manifest the wave nature of matter and are found in a wide variety of different physical systems. Here we report on the first experimental observation of fra...

متن کاملNonlinearly induced PT transition in photonic systems.
We study the effect of nonlinearity on systems with periodic parity-time (PT) symmetry, and show that nonlinearity can transform the system from broken to full PT symmetry and vice versa. Furthermore, we show that even when the nonlinearity is insufficient to induce a transition from broken to full PT symmetry, still, the wave functions neither decay nor diverge, despite the fact that the syste...
متن کاملBloch oscillations and Zener tunneling in two-dimensional photonic lattices.
We report on the first experimental observation of photonic Bloch oscillations and Zener tunneling in two-dimensional periodic systems. We study the propagation of an optical beam in a square lattice superimposed on a refractive index ramp. We observe oscillations of the beam inside the first Brilloin zone and tunneling of light from the first to the higher-order bands of the lattice band gap s...
