Description
The study of nonlinear light propagation is a highly active field of research, renowned for its complexity and the rich physical phenomena it reveals. Coupling these nonlinear dynamics with a lattice structure, where light can tunnel between sites, enables the exploration of collective effects such as gap solitons and synchronized arrays of photonic resonators. This internship project aims to investigate both numerically and experimentally the emergence of nonlinear phenomena in a unique lattice of coupled fibre rings. In this system, light evolves in discrete steps. This evolution leads to nonlinear dynamics that are fundamentally distinct from those in standard photonic lattices, giving rise to effects like long-range synchronization across the lattice and novel topological phases.
