Subwavelength solitons and Faraday waves in two-dimensional lattices of metal nanoparticles

Opt Lett. 2013 Jul 15;38(14):2554-6. doi: 10.1364/OL.38.002554.

Abstract

We demonstrate that optically driven two-dimensional lattices of nonlinear metal nanoparticles can support a variety of dissipative localized modes including Faraday ripples, trapped and walking solitons, oscillons, and switching waves connecting different polarization states.
