  • Abstract
    Recent results on parametric spatial solitary waves arising from multiple resonances in purely nonlinear 2-D lattices are presented. Theory and experiments highlight new possibilities for light self-confinement and steering via engineered planar nonlinear structures in periodically poled materials.
