چکیده
We present a system able to discriminate pulses according their duration with potential applications in all-optical signal multiplexing. The device is based on directional coupler nonlinear cores and metallic claddings dimensions nanometric scale. Simulations are carried out using the FDTD technique for ultrashort of femtosecond order. It shown that separate such respect time-width threshold which depends total energy pulse.

Nonlinear couplers with tapered plasmonic waveguides.
We suggest and demonstrate numerically that, by employing tapered waveguides in the geometry of a directional coupler, we can enhance dramatically the performance for optical switching of nonlinear plasmonic couplers operating at the nanoscale, overcoming the detrimental losses but preserving the subwavelength confinement. We demonstrate that, by an appropriate choice of the taper angle of the ...
متن کاملCompact slit-based couplers for metal-dielectric-metal plasmonic waveguides.
We introduce compact wavelength-scale slit-based structures for coupling free space light into metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) subwave-length plasmonic waveguides. We first show that for a single slit structure the coupling efficiency is limited by a trade-off between the light power coupled into the slit, and the transmission of the slit-MDM waveguide junction. We next consider a two-section slit...
متن کاملPhase Space Description of Nonlinear Directional Couplers
Absfrucf-A comprehensive analysis of the symmetric nonlinear directional coupler as a function of the excitation conditions is reported. The analysis is based on a coupled-mode technique in normalized (dimensionless) parameters, using the linear supermodes of the guiding structure, most of the results being derived from the Hamiltonian of the resulting nonlinear equations. The exchange of power...
متن کاملNonlinear dual-core photonic crystal fiber couplers.
We study nonlinear modes of dual-core photonic crystal fiber couplers made of a material with the focusing Kerr nonlinearity. We find numerically the profiles of symmetric, antisymmetric, and asymmetric nonlinear modes and analyze all-optical switching generated by the instability of the symmetric mode. We also describe elliptic spatial solitons controlled by the waveguide boundaries.
متن کاملNonlinear Optics in Plasmonic Nanostructures
The unique optical properties of plasmon resonances in noble metal nanoparticles have been extensively investigated owing to their ability to enhance the electric field amplitude but also to tailor its spectral and spatial distribution. Among all application domains, nonlinear optics play a singular role since the efficiency of the underlying physical processes are driven by specific symmetry p...
