Nonlinear Pulse Reshaping in Optical Fibers
The propagation of ultrashort laser pulses in the optical fibers is connected with a plenty of interesting and practically important phenomena. Unique dispersive and nonlinear properties of the optical fibers lead to various scenarios of the pulse evolution which are resulted in particular changes of the pulse shape, spectrum and chirp. The modern age of the optical fibers starts from the 1960s...
متن کاملNonlinear infrared plasmonic waveguide arrays
The large negative permittivity of noble metals in the infrared region prevents the possibility of highly confined plasmons in simple waveguide structures such as thin films or rods. This is a critical obstacle to applications of nonlinear plasmonics in the telecommunication wavelength region. We theoretically propose and numerically demonstrate that such limitation can be overcome by exploitin...
متن کاملModified femtosecond pulse shaper using microlens arrays.
We discuss a modified femtosecond pulse shaper that uses microlens arrays to convert the continuous band of frequencies normally obtained in the mask plane of a pulse shaper into a series of discrete spots. Our experiments demonstrate that this modification can improve pulse-shaping quality when modulator arrays with large interpixel gaps are used for Fourier-plane filtering.
متن کاملComposite vortices in nonlinear circular waveguide arrays
It is known that, in continuous media, composite solitons with hidden vorticity, which are built of two mutually symmetric vortical components whose total angular momentum is zero, may be stable while their counterparts with explicit vorticity and nonzero total angular momentum are unstable. In this work, we demonstrate that the opposite occurs in discrete media: hidden vortex states in relativ...
متن کاملCompeting nonlinearities in quadratic nonlinear waveguide arrays.
We demonstrate experimentally the existence of competing focusing and defocusing nonlinearities in a double-resonant system with quadratic nonlinear response. We use an array of periodically poled coupled optical waveguides and observe inhibition of the nonlinear beam self-action independent on power. This inhibition is demonstrated in both regimes of normal and anomalous beam diffraction.
