Pulse-driven switching in one-dimensional nonlinear photonic band gap materials: a numerical study
نویسندگان
چکیده
We numerically examine the time-dependent properties of nonlinear bistable multilayer structures for constant wave illumination. We find that our system exhibits both steady-state and self-pulsing solutions. In the steady-state regime, we examine the dynamics of driving the system between different transmission states by injecting pulses, and we find optimal pulse parameters. We repeat this work for the case of a linear periodic system with a nonlinear impurity layer.

In this paper the effect of photonic band gap on the group velocity of reflected pulse from a dielectric slab doped with two-level or three-level atoms has been investigated. It is assumed that the slab is sandwiched between a uniform medium (like vacuum) and a one-dimensional photonic crystal. It is shown that the reflected pulse from the slab doped with two-level (three-level) atoms will be...
متن کاملHamiltonian formulation of the nonlinear coupled mode equations.
We derive a canonical Hamiltonian formulation of the nonlinear coupled mode equations (CME) that govern the dynamics of pulse propagation in a one-dimensional, periodic Kerr medium when the frequency content of the pulse is in the vicinity of a photonic band gap, and sufficiently narrow relative to a carrier frequency. The Hamiltonian is equal to the energy in the electromagnetic field. We show...
متن کاملPhase Properties of One-Dimensional Quaternary Photonic Crystals
In this paper, properties of reflection phase in one-dimensional quaternary photonic crystals combining dispersive meta-materials and positive index materials are investigated by transfer matrix method. Two omnidirectional band gaps are located in the band structure of considered structure. However, we limit our studies to the frequency range of the second wide band gap. We observe that the val...
متن کاملBand Structures for 2D Photonic Crystals in Presence of Nonlinear Kerr Effect Calculated by Use of Nonlinear Finite Difference Time Domain (NFDTD) Method
We report the simulation results for impact of nonlinear Kerr effect on band structures of a two dimensional photonic crystal (2D-PhC) with no defect, a PhC based W1-waveguide (W1W), and also Coupled-Cavity Waveguides (CCWs). All PhC structres are assumed to a square lattice of constant a made of GaAs rods of radius r=0.2a, in an air background. The numerical simulation was performed using...
متن کاملAnalysis and Optimization of Photonic Crystal Components for Optical Telecommunications
Photonic crystals are periodic dielectric structures where the period is of the same order of magnitude than the wavelength of light. As a result of interference, there exist band gaps for light, i.e., light of certain range of frequencies is not allowed to exist inside the photonic crystal, which can be used to control and confine light. In this thesis, photonic crystals were studied with comp...
