Abstract :
We provide a brief overview of our recent work on spatial control of light propagation in optically induced photonic lattices, including controlled Bragg reflection, diffraction and refraction in ionic-type lattices and image transmission based on coherent destruction of tunneling in 3D photonic lattices with engineered coupling, and optical control and manipulation of micro- and nano-particles with various nonconventional optical beams.
