Nonlinear optics and light localization in periodic photonic lattices Academic Article

abstract

• We review the recent developments in the field of photonic lattices emphasizing their unique properties for controlling linear and nonlinear propagation of light. We draw some important links between optical lattices and photonic crystals pointing towards practical applications in optical communications and computing, beam shaping, and biosensing.
