Photonic band-gap inhibition of modulational instabilities.
Spatial structures as a result of a modulational instability are studied in a nonlinear cavity with a photonic crystal. The interaction of the modulated refractive index with the nonlinearity inhibits the instability via the creation of a photonic band gap. A novel mechanism of light localization due to defects and pattern inhibition is also described.
متن کاملCoupled-mode theory for photonic band-gap inhibition of spatial instabilities.
We study the inhibition of pattern formation in nonlinear optical systems using intracavity photonic crystals. We consider mean-field models for singly and doubly degenerate optical parametric oscillators. Analytical expressions for the new (higher) modulational thresholds and the size of the "band gap" as a function of the system and photonic crystal parameters are obtained via a coupled-mode ...
متن کاملAngular photonic band gap
Materials and structures that strongly discriminate electromagnetic radiation based on one, or more of its properties (e.g. polarization, frequency) play an enabling role for a wide range of physical phenomena. For example, polarizers can selectively transmit light based on its polarization [1] over a wide range of frequencies; photonic crystals [2] (PhCs) can reflect light of certain frequenci...
متن کاملPhotonic band-gap structures
The analogy between electromagnetic wave propagation in multidimensionally periodic structures and electronwave propagation in real crystals has proven to be a fruitful one. Initial efforts were motivated by the prospect of a photonic band gap, a frequency band in three-dimensional dielectric structures in which electromagnetic waves are forbidden irrespective of the propagation direction in sp...
متن کاملLithographic band gap tuning in photonic band gap crystals
We describe the lithographic control over the spectral response of three-dimensional photonic crystals. By precise microfabrication of the geometry using a reproducible and reliable procedure consisting of electron beam lithography followed by dry etching, we have shifted the conduction band of crystals within the near-infrared. Such microfabrication has enabled us to reproducibly define photon...
