Bistable Helmholtz bright solitons in saturable materials
We present, to the best of our knowledge, the first exact analytical solitons of a nonlinear Helmholtz equation with a saturable refractive-index model. These new two-dimensional spatial solitons have a bistable characteristic in some parameter regimes, and they capture oblique (arbitrary-angle) beam propagation in both the forward and backward directions. New conservation laws are reported, an...
متن کاملTotal internal reflection and evanescent gain.
Total internal reflection occurs for large angles of incidence, when light is incident from a high-refractive-index medium onto a low-index medium. We consider the situation where the low-index medium is active. By invoking causality in its most fundamental form, we argue that evanescent gain may or may not appear, depending on the analytic and global properties of the permittivity function. Fo...
متن کاملNoise-enhanced SNR gain in parallel array of bistable oscillators
For a sinusoidal signal, buried in white Gaussian noise, as an input to a parallel array of bistable oscillators, it is reported that conditions exist where the signal-to-noise ratio gain exceeds unity, for both subthreshold and suprathreshold sinusoids. The performance of infinite arrays is closely approached by finite arrays of moderate size, representing a novel method of applying the stocha...
متن کاملPorous Waveguide in the Kretschmann Configuration for Small Molecule Detection
In this work, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate a highly sensitive porous silicon membrane waveguide biosensor in the Kretschmann configuration, and show how the cladding material directly impacts the waveguide sensor detection sensitivity and resonance width. Dielectric and metal-clad porous waveguides in the Kretchmann configuration have the potential to achieve significantly en...
متن کاملVortex solitons in a saturable optical medium
Optical vortex solitons in a defocusing saturable medium are analyzed in the framework of the (2 1 1)-dimensional generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Stationary, radially symmetric localized solutions with nonvanishing asymptotics and a phase singularity (vortex solitons) are found numerically for the varying saturation parameter. Relaxation of some localized initial profiles (e.g., vor...
