Integrability and trajectory confinement in -symmetric waveguide arrays

نویسندگان

چکیده

We consider $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric ring-like arrays of optical waveguides with purely nonlinear gain and loss. Regardless the value gain-loss coefficient, these systems are protected from spontaneous $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry breaking. If nonhermitian part array matrix has cross-compensating structure, total power in such a system remains bounded -- or even constant at all times. identify two-, three-, four-waveguide cross-compensatory loss that constitute completely integrable Hamiltonian systems.

Nonlocality in PT-symmetric waveguide arrays with gain and loss.

We demonstrate that light propagation in waveguide arrays that include PT-symmetric structures can exhibit strongly nonlocal sensitivity to topology of the array at fixed other parameters. We consider an array composed of lossless waveguides, that includes a pair of PT-symmetric waveguides with balanced gain and loss, and reveal that PT-symmetry breaking thresholds are different for planar and ...

Singularity Confinement and Algebraic Integrability

Two important notions of integrability for discrete mappings are algebraic integrability and singularity confinement, have been used for discrete mappings. Algebraic integrability is related to the existence of sufficiently many conserved quantities whereas singularity confinement is associated with the local analysis of singularities. In this paper, the relationship between these two notions i...

Waveguide arrays in diffusive photopolymers

We describe two methods, liquid deposition photolithography and holographic lithography, for fabricating two-dimensional arrays of optical waveguides with high channel counts. Both methods rely on refractive index patterning via monomer diffusion in photosensitive polymers. © 2012 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130.5460) Polymer waveguides

Discrete photonics in waveguide arrays.

In homogeneous arrays of coupled waveguides, Floquet-Bloch waves are known to travel freely across the waveguides. We introduce a systematic discussion of the built-in patterning of the coupling constant between neighboring waveguides. Key patterns provide functions such as redirecting, guiding, and focusing these waves, up to nonlinear all-optical routing. This opens the way to light control i...

Near-integrability and confinement for high-energy hadron-hadron collisions

We investigate an effective Hamiltonian for QCD at large s, in which longitudinal gauge degrees of freedom are suppressed, but not eliminated. In an axial gauge the effective field theory is a set of coupled (1 + 1)dimensional principal-chiral models, which are completely integrable. The confinement problem is solvable in this context, and we find the longitudinal and transverse string tensions...
