Abstract :
In this work, the authors demonstrated experimentally the suppression of instabilities of counterpropagating solitons in one (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) periodic photonic lattices. We study the dependence of the soliton instability on the lattice depth and periodicity and identify optimal parameters for stabilisation.
