All-optical switches, unidirectional flow, and logic gates with discrete solitons in waveguide arrays.

We propose a mechanism by which a number of useful all-optical operations, such as switches, diodes, and logic gates, can be performed with a single device. An effective potential well is obtained by modulating the coupling between the waveguides through their separations. Depending on the power of a control soliton injected through the potential well, an incoming soliton will either completely...

Switching of discrete optical solitons in engineered waveguide arrays.

We demonstrate a simple concept for controlling nonlinear switching of discrete solitons in arrays of weakly coupled optical waveguides, for both cubic and quadratic nonlinear response. Based on the effective discrete nonlinear equations describing light propagation in the waveguide arrays in the tight-binding approximation, we demonstrate the key ideas of the array engineering by means of a st...

All-optical switching and amplification of discrete vector solitons in nonlinear cubic birefringent waveguide arrays.

We study all-optical switching based on the dynamic properties of discrete vector solitons in waveguide arrays. We employ the concept of polarization mode instability and demonstrate simultaneous switching and amplification of a weak signal by a strong pump of the opposite polarization.

All-Optical Logic Gates Based on Nonlinear Slot Waveguide Couplers

A novel design of all-optical logic gates based on nonlinear slot waveguide couplers is proposed. NOT, OR, and AND logic gates can be realized by simple single optical directional coupler configuration. Strong polarization dependencies of slot waveguides are effectively utilized for realizing polarization-independent optical directional couplers in linear regime and polarization-dependent all-o...

Discrete gap solitons in modulated waveguide arrays.

We suggest a novel concept of diffraction management in waveguide arrays and predict the existence of discrete gap solitons that possess the properties of both conventional discrete and Bragg grating solitons. We demonstrate that one can control both the soliton velocity and the propagation direction by varying the input light intensity.
