Effect of dark soliton on the spectral evolution of bright soliton in a silicon-on-insulator waveguide

The spectral evolution of bright soliton in a silicon-on-insulator optical waveguide is numerically simulated using the split-step Fourier method.The power and input chirp of the dark soliton and the second-order dispersion are varied to investigate the effect of dark soliton on the spectrum of bright soliton.The simulations prove that the dark soliton modifies the spectral shape of the bright soliton.Further,the variation in the power of dark soliton affects the splitting of bright soliton.Furthermore,the chirped dark soliton can improve the spectral width and flatness.The variation in the dispersion of dark soliton modifies the phase matching of the bright soliton and the dispersive wave emission,thereby affecting the spectral evolution.

Quasistable bright dissipative holographic solitons in photorefractive two-wave mixing system

The dynamical evolution of both signal and pump beams are traced by numerically solving the coupled-wave equation for a photorefractive two-wave mixing system. The direct simulations show that, when the intensity ratio of the pump beam to the signal beam is large enough, the pump beam presents a common decaying behaviour without modulational instability （MI）, while the signal beam can evolve into a quasistable spatial soliton within a regime in which the pump beam is depleted slightly. The larger the ratio is, the longer the regime is. Such quasistable solitons can overcome the initial perturbations and numerical noises in the course of propagation, perform several cycles of slow oscillation in intensity and width, and persist over tens of diffraction lengths. From physical viewpoints, these solitons actually exist as completely rigorous physical objects. If the ratio is quite small, the pump beam is apt to show MI, during which the signal beam experiences strong expansion and shrinking in width and a drastic oscillation in intensity, or completely breaks up. The simulations using actual experimental parameters demonstrate that the observation of an effectively stable soliton is quite possible in the proposed system.

Waveguides induced by grey screening solitons

We investigate the properties of waveguides induced by one-dimensional grey screening solitons in biased photorefractive crystals. The results show that waveguides induced by grey screening solitons are always of single mode for all intensity ratios, i,e. the ratios between the peak intensity of the soliton and the dark irradiance. Our analysis indicates that the energy confined near the centre of the grey soliton and the propagation constant of the guided mode of the waveguide induced by the grey screening soliton increase monotonically with intensity ratio increasing. On the other hand, when the soliton greyness increases, the energy confined near the centre of the grey soliton and the propagation constant of the guided mode of the waveguide induced by the grey screening soliton decrease monotonically. Relevant examples are provided where photorefractive crystal is of the strontium barium niobate type.

Grey screening-photovoltaic soliton-induced waveguides

This paper shows that waveguides induced by grey screening-photovoltaic solitons are always single mode for all intensity ratios, which are the ratio between the peak intensity of the soliton and the dark irradiance. It finds that the confined energy near the centre of the grey soliton and the propagation constant of the guided mode increase monotonically with increasing intensity ratio. On the other hand, when the soliton greyness increases, the confined energy near the centre of the grey soliton and the propagation constant of the guided mode reduce monotonically. When the bulk photovoltaic effect is neglected for short circuits, these waveguides become waveguides induced by grey screening solitons. When the external bias field is absent, these waveguides become waveguides induced by grey photovoltaic solitons.

Evolution and stability of spatial solitons in a photorefractive two-wave mixing system

The dynamical evolution and stability of bright dissipative holographic solitons in biased photorefractive materials in which the self-trapping beam obtains a gain from the pump beam via two-wave mixing has been investigated numerically. Results show that these solitons are stable relative to small perturbations. Adjusting some system parameters, such as the bias field and the angle between beams, can easily control the generation of such solitons. Potential applications in optical switches or repeaters are discussed.

Effects of temperature on screening bright-dark the stability of separate spatial soliton pair

We investigate theoretically the temperature effects on the evolution and stability of a separate screening brightdark soliton pair formed in a serial non-photovoltaic photorefractive crystal circuit. Our numerical results show that, for a stable bright-dark soliton pair originally formed in a crystal circuit at given temperatures, when one crystal temperature changes, the soliton supported by the other crystal will evolve into another stable soliton if the temperature change is quite small, whereas it will become unstable and experience larger cycles of compression or break up into beam filaments if the temperature difference is big enough. The dark soliton is more sensitive to the temperature change than the bright one.

Simulation and Design of a Submicron Ultrafast Plasmonic Switch Based on Nonlinear Doped Silicon MIM Waveguide

We propose and analyze a submicron stub-assisted ultrafast all-optical plasmonic switch based on nonlinear MIM waveguide. It is constructed by two silicon stub filters sandwiched by silver cladding. The signal wavelength is assumed to be 1550 nm. The simulation results show a ?14.66 dB extinction ratio. Downscaling the silicon waveguide in MIM structure leads to enhancement of the effective Kerr nonlinearity due to tight mode confinement. Also, using O+ ions implanted into silicon, the switching time less than 10 ps and a delay time less than 8 fs are achieved. The overall length of the switch is 550 nm.

Propagation characteristics of parallel dark solitons in silicon-on-insulator waveguide

The propagation characteristic of two identical and parallel dark solitons in a silicon-on-insulator(SOI)waveguide is simulated numerically using the split-step Fourier method.The parallel dark solitons imposed by the initial chirp are investigated mainly by changing their power,their relative time delay.The simulation shows that the time delay deforms the parallel dark soliton pulse,forming a bright-like soliton in the transmission process and making the transmission quality down.By increasing the power of one dark soliton,the energy of the other dark soliton can be increased,and larger increase in a soliton’s power leads to larger increase in the energy of the other.When the initial chirp is introduced into one of the dark solitons,higher energy consumption is observed.In particular,positive chirps resulting in pulse broadening width while negative chirps narrowing,with an obvious compression effect on the other dark soliton.Finally,large negative chirps are found to have a profound impact on parallel and nonparallel dark solitons.

Incoherent interaction between one- and two-dimensional solitons in noncentrosymmetric photorefractive media

The incoherent interaction between solitons with different transverse dimensions in a noncentrosymmetric photorefractive crystal is studied both in theory and in experiment. An anomalous incoherent interaction between one- and two-dimensional solitons, whose attractive and repulsive effects depend on the soliton separation, is numerically demonstrated by employing an anisotropic model. By launching a one-dimensional green beam and a two-dimensional red beam into a biased SBN：60 crystal, the hybrid-dimensional soliton interaction is performed. The experimental results are in good agreement with the numerical ones.

Incoherently coupled soliton pairs in nonlocal nonlinear media

We show that incoherently coupled soliton pairs can exist in nonlocal Kerr-type nonlinear media. Such solitons can propagate in bright--bright, dark--dark, and gray--gray configurations. When the nonlocal nonlinearity is absent, these bright--bright and dark--dark soliton pairs are those observed previously in local Kerr-type nonlinear media. Our analysis indicates that for a self-focusing nonlinearity the intensity full width half maximum （FWHM） of the bright--bright pair components increases with the degree of nonlocality of the nonlinear response, whereas for a self-defocusing nonlinearity the intensity FWHM of the dark--dark and gray--gray pair components decreases with the increase in the degree of nonlocality of the nonlinear response. The stability of these soliton pairs has been investigated numerically and it has been found that they are stable.

One-Dimensional Modulational Instability of Broad Optical Beams In Photorefractive Crystals with Both Linear and Quadratic Electro-Optic Effects

We present a theoretical study of the one-dimensional modulational instability of a broad optical beam propagating in a biased photorefractive crystal with both linear and quadratic electro-optic effects(Kerr effect)under steadystate conditions.One-dimensional modulational instability growth rates are obtained by treating the space-charge field equation globally and locally.Both theoretical reasoning and numerical simulation show that both the global and local modulational instability gains are governed simultaneously by the strength and the polarity of external bias field and by the ratio of the intensity of the broad beam to that of the dark irradiance.Under a strong bias field,the results obtained using these two methods are in good agreement in the low spatial frequency regime.Moreover,the instability growth rate increases with the bias field,and the maximum instability growth occurs when ratio of light intensity to dark irradiance is 0.88.

Modeling of Complex Solitary Waveforms for Micro-Width Doped ZnO Waveguides

The potential applications of metallic oxides as supporters of nonlinear phenomena are not novel. ZnO shows high nonlinearity in the range 600 - 1200 nm of the input wavelength [1]. ZnO thus make way to become efficient photoluminescent devices. In this paper, the above mentioned property of ZnO is harnessed as the primary material for the fabrication of waveguides. Invoking nonlinear phenomena can support intense nonlinear pulses which can be a boost to the field of communication. The modeling characteristics of undoped and doped ZnO also confirm the propagation of a solitary pulse [1]. An attempt to generalize the optical pattern of the doped case with varying waveguide widths is carried out in the current investigation. The variations below 6 um are seen to exhibit complex waveforms which resemble a continuum pulse. The input peak wavelength is kept constant at 600 nm for the modeling.

THz-Wave Generation from GaP THz Photonic Crystal Waveguides under Difference-Frequency Mixing

GaP terahertz (THz) two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PC) waveguides with line defects were fabricated using inductively-coupled plasma reactive-ion etching (ICP-RIE) in Ar/Cl2 gas chemistries. THz-wave generation from the fabricated PC waveguides was demonstrated under collinear phase-matched difference-frequency generation (DFG), using Cr:Forsterite (Cr:F) lasers as the incident source. We compared the THz-wave output characteristics of the PC waveguides with that of GaP planar waveguides. The collinear phase-matching conditions in the DFG process were satisfied for 300- and 500-μm-wide PC waveguide structures at 0.7 and 0.6 THz, respectively. The additional output peaks that appeared near the edge of the photonic band gap, around 0.5 THz, were attributed to the guiding modes in the PC waveguide;no such peaks appeared in the non-patterned ridge waveguides. These experimental results suggest that the phonon-polariton confinement in THz-PC waveguides based on the GaP crystal could be used to enhance the nonlinear optical effect for THz-wave generation.
