Optical pulse compression based on nonlinear silicon waveguides and chirped Bragg gratings
Due to the growing demand for higher bandwidth, employing optical devices instead of electronic devices in data transmission systems has attracted much attention in recent years. Optical switches, modulators and wavelength converters are a few examples of the required optical devices. CMOS compatible fabrication of these devices, leads to much more growing of this technology. Optical pulse comp...
متن کاملTheory of Nonlinear s-Polarized Phonon-Polaritons in Multilayered Structures
A theory is presented for the dispersion relations of the nonlinear phonon-polaritons arising when phonons are coupled to the electromagnetic waves in multilayered structures of nonlinear materials. The calculations are applied to a multilayered structure consisting of a thin film surrounded by semi-infinite bounding media where each layer may have a frequency dependent dielectric function and ...
متن کاملNew types of stable nonlinear whistler waveguides
The stationary self-focusing of whistler waves with frequencies near half of the electron-cyclotron frequency in the ionospheric plasma is considered in the framework of a two-dimensional generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation including fourth-order dispersion effects and nonlinearity saturation. New types of soliton-like (with zero topological charge) and vortex-like nonlinear waveguides a...
متن کاملSupercontinuum generation in quadratic nonlinear waveguides without quasi-phase matching.
Supercontinuum generation (SCG) is most efficient when the solitons can be excited directly at the pump laser wavelength. Quadratic nonlinear waveguides may induce an effective negative Kerr nonlinearity, so temporal solitons can be directly generated in the normal (positive) dispersion regime overlapping with common ultrafast laser wavelengths. There is no need for waveguide dispersion enginee...
متن کاملExact dispersion relation for nonlinear plasmonic waveguides
We derive an exact dispersion relation for the surface plasmon polaritons of a nonlinear plasmonic waveguide using exact field decomposition of TM waves. Our approach generalizes the known linear dispersion relations to the case of a medium nonlinearity of the form εNL = εL + α|E|2n. We apply the unique dispersion relation to a plasmonic waveguide with a Kerr-type nonlinearity (n = 1) and show ...
