Giant Kerr nonlinearities using refractive-index enhancement
Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest in techniques that achieve significant nonlinear interactions at the single-photon level [1]. These schemes are exciting and important because of both practical and fundamental reasons. Key practical applications include all-optical switches that can operate at an energy cost of a single photon [2] and twoqubit quantum gates between two si...
متن کاملNonlinear Metasurface Based on Giant Optical Kerr Response of Gold Quantum Wells
A nonlinear metasurface is demonstrated numerically based on the recently developed quantum-sized gold film. The active functionality of the metasurface is realized by varying the incident optical power through the ultrahigh Kerr nonlinearity of the quantum-sized gold films. In the low power region, the device acts as a normal reflecting surface, while it becomes a phase grating with most energ...
متن کاملQuantum computation with Kerr-nonlinear photonic crystals
In this paper, we consider a method for implementing a quantum logic gate with photons whose wave function propagates in a one-dimensional Kerr-nonlinear photonic crystal. The photonic crystal causes the incident photons to undergo Bragg reflection by its periodic structure of dielectric materials and forms the photonic band structure, namely, the light dispersion relation. This dispersion rela...
متن کاملModulational instability in nonlocal nonlinear Kerr media.
We study modulational instability (MI) of plane waves in nonlocal nonlinear Kerr media. For a focusing nonlinearity we show that, although the nonlocality tends to suppress MI, it can never remove it completely, irrespective of the particular profile of the nonlocal response function. For a defocusing nonlinearity the stability properties depend sensitively on the response function profile: for...
متن کاملKerr lens mode locking without nonlinear astigmatism
We demonstrate a Kerr lens mode-locked folded cavity using a planar (non-Brewster) Ti:sapphire crystal as a gain and Kerr medium, thus cancelling the nonlinear astigmatism caused by a Brewster cut Kerr medium. Our method uses a novel cavity folding in which the intracavity laser beam propagates in two perpendicular planes, such that the astigmatism of one mirror is compensated by the other mirr...
