    Abstract

    We present the first experimental observation of nonlinear beam diffusion and formation of diffraction-managed solitons in periodically-curved arrays of coupled optical waveguides created using femtosecond laser writing in silica glass, and titanium indiffusion in LiNbO3 crystals.
