Solitons and nonlinear waves in photonic lattices — •Mordechai Segev — Physics Department, Technion,Haifa 32000, Israel

Solitons in lattices are a universal phenomenon, common to all nonlinear periodic structures in nature, from optical waves and matter-waves to vibrational waves and spin waves. The past few years have witnessed several breakthroughs in this area, especially with nonlinear optical systems. I will review this recent progress with an emphasis on the universality of the underlying physics.
