Light Bullet Mode-Locking In Waveguide Arrays
A theoretical proposal is presented for the generation of mode-locked light-bullets in planar waveguide arrays, extending the concept of time-domain mode-locking in waveguide arrays to spatial (transverse) mode-locking in slab waveguides. The model presented yields three-dimensional localized states that act as global attractors to the waveguide array system. Single pulse stationary and time-pe...
متن کاملTheory of Active-Passive Mode-Locking of Solid-State Lasers Using a Nonlinear Mirror
The theory of active-passive mode-locked solid-state lasers is developed where the passive mode-locking is achieved by a nonlinear mirror. Steady-state cw numerical solutions are analyzed in detail for the case of a Nd:YAG laser. The steady-state pulse duration can be reduced by an order of magnitude as compared to the pure active modelocking regime.
متن کاملHarmonic mode locking of bound solitons.
We systematically investigate the passive harmonic mode locking (HML) of the bound states of two solitons in a fiber laser that has been mode locked by nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR). The experiment shows that the stable HML state of the bound solitons (BSs) with a fixed and discrete separation is obtained. The repetition rate changes by increasing the pump power and slightly altering th...
متن کاملSelf-starting of passive mode locking.
It has been recently understood that mode locking of lasers has the signification of a thermodynamic phase transition in a system of many interacting light modes subject to noise. In the same framework, self starting of passive mode locking has the thermodynamic significance of a noise-activated escape process across an entropic barrier. Here we present the first dynamical study of the light mo...
متن کاملWaveguide Arrays for Optical Pulse-Shaping, Mode-Locking and Beam Combining
Nonlinear mode-coupling (NLMC) is a well-established phenomenon which has been both experimentally verified (1; 2; 3; 4; 5) and theoretically characterized (6; 7; 8). NLMC has been an area of active research in all-optical switching and signal processing applications using wave-guide arrays (2; 3; 4; 5), dual-core fibers (1; 6; 7), and fiber arrays (9; 10). Recently, the temporal pulse shaping ...
