Discretizing light behaviour in linear and nonlinear waveguide lattices
Open accessAbstract
Light propagating in linear and nonlinear waveguide lattices exhibits behaviour characteristic of that encountered in discrete systems. The diffraction properties of these systems can be engineered, which opens up new possibilities for controlling the flow of light that would have been otherwise impossible in the bulk: these effects can be exploited to achieve diffraction-free propagation and minimize the power requirements for nonlinear processes. In two-dimensional networks of waveguides, self-localized states--or discrete solitons--can travel along 'wire-like' paths and can be routed to any destination port. Such possibilities may be useful for photonic switching architectures.

For a periodic array of identical equidistant waveguides with two indistinguishable photons injected in central waveguide n=0, each photon propagates transversely giving a discrete diffraction pattern.
“Each photon propagates transversely in the array, giving rise to a so-called discrete diffraction pattern [7].”

Arrays of coupled waveguides enable photons to interfere continuously across the entire structure.
“Unlike discrete photonic circuits, which manipulate photons step-by-step using a series of optical elements, arrays of coupled waveguides enable photons to interfere continuously across the entire structure.”
From Tailoring quantum walks in integrated photonic lattices (2025) · cites this paper as [7]
Lattices of evanescently coupled waveguides are a unique discrete physical system, not only a model system for comparative investigation of discreteness.
“lattices of evanescently coupled waveguides are not just a simple model system for a comparative investigation of discreteness, but constitute a unique discrete physical system on their own as well [2].”

“An alternative approach leverages instead continuously-coupled waveguides, where photons spread transversely, interfering along the entire propagation length rather than solely at discrete beamsplitters [7, 8].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
