Spatiotemporal surface solitons in two-dimensional photonic lattices

We analyze spatiotemporal light localization in truncated two-dimensional photonic lattices and demonstrate the existence of two-dimensional surface light bullets localized in the lattice corners or the edges. We study the families of the spatiotemporal surface solitons and their properties such as bistability and compare them with the modes located deep inside the photonic lattice.This work was supported by the Australian Research Council and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (FKZ 13N8340/1) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Priority Program SPP1113, FOR557 and Research Unit 532)
