title: Wave and spectral singularities in photonic lattices
abstract: Paraxial light propagation in media with a periodically modulated refractive index - photonic lattices - shares many similarities with condensed matter and quantum systems, such as electron dynamics in crystals, Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices, and polaritons in structured microcavities. Analogies between these different physical settings are both fundamentally interesting and have practical applications, providing novel ways to control the flow of light in optical devices. For exa
