Relativistic physics in waveguide arrays: The Zitterbewegung

Abstract
We introduce binary waveguide arrays as an optical model system for studying relativistic quantum mechanics. The peculiar Zitterbewegung is observed in femtosecond laser inscribed lattices using waveguide fluorescence microscopy.
