Abstract
We demonstrate, both theoretically and experimentally, the existence of nonlocal gap solitons in twodimensional
periodic photonic structures with defocusing thermal nonlinearity. We employ liquid-infiltrated
photonic crystal fibers and show how the system geometry can modify the effective response of a nonlocal
medium and the properties of two-dimensional gap solitons. © 2009 Optical Society of America
