IFIMAC+ICMM Joint Seminar Series focuses on cutting-edge research on condensed matter physics, bringing speakers from all over the world to our Cantoblanco Campus. All talks are streamed online. Some of them will be celebrated on campus and onsite participation will also be possible.

In this talk I discuss nonlinear periodically corrugated one-dimensional waveguides pumped at normal incidence by coherent light. It is known that these systems can support so called Bound States in the Continuum (BIC) –localized states with their frequency lying within the spectrum of free propagating waves. These states cannot be excited by incident radiation but have high Q factor (it is infinite for perfect BIC and in the absence of material losses). We discuss parametric excitation of the BIC mode, the formation of hybrid states and the dynamics of different nonlinear structures nestling on the hybrid states. In particular, domain walls, their bound states forming dark dissipative solitons and bright dissipative solitons are addressed.
