Optical solitons create a topological edge in the bulk of a 1D chain of optical cavities
Optical solitons are highly localized nonlinear states of light, which are named by analogy with solitary waves encountered in hydrodynamics. C2N researchers, with two teams one from the Phlam laboratory in Lille and the other from Institut Pascal in …
