Power-dependent soliton steering in thermal nonlinear media.

چکیده
We address the existence and properties of optical solitons excited in thermal nonlinear media with a transverse refractive index gradient. The interplay between the nonlocality of the thermal nonlinearity and the linear refractive index enables generating controllable switching from surface soliton propagating near the sample edges to bulk solitons. Beam steering associated with the different soliton output locations can be achieved by varying the input light intensity.

All-Optical Reconfigurable-Tunable 1×N Power Splitter Using Soliton Breakup
In this paper, we numerically simulated a glass-based all-optical 1×N power splitter with eleven different configurations using soliton breakup in a nonlinear medium. It is shown that in addition to reconfigurability of the proposed splitter, its power splitting ratio is tunable up to some extent values too. Nonlinear semivectorial iterative finite difference beam propagation method (IFD-...
متن کاملTopological soliton solutions of the some nonlinear partial differential equations
In this paper, we obtained the 1-soliton solutions of the symmetric regularized long wave (SRLW) equation and the (3+1)-dimensional shallow water wave equations. Solitary wave ansatz method is used to carry out the integration of the equations and obtain topological soliton solutions The physical parameters in the soliton solutions are obtained as functions of the dependent coefficients. Note t...
متن کاملSpatial Solitons in Media with Delayed-response Optical Nonlinearities
PACS. 0340K-Waves and wave propagation: general mathematical aspects. Abstract Near-soliton scanning light-beam propagation in media with both delayed-response Kerr-type and thermal nonlinearities is analyzed. The delayed-response part of the Kerr nonlinearity is shown to be competitive as compared to the thermal nonlinearity, and relevant contributions to a distortion of the soliton form and p...
متن کاملSteering of optical beams in nonlinear Kerr media by spatial phase modulation.
A simple scheme to steer optical beams is proposed. The basic idea is to impose a sinusoidal phase modulation on the optical beam and then propagate it in a nonlinear Kerr medium. Spatial phase modulation splits the input beam into multiple subbeams, while the nonlinear medium shapes a particular subbeam into a spatial soliton in such a way that most of the beam power appears in a narrow beam w...
متن کاملناپایداری گرمایی در محیط میان ستاره ای
This study demonstrates how thermal structures in the interstellar medium can emerge as a result of thermal instability. For a two-dimensional case, the steady state thermal structures was investigeted and it was shown that a large class of solutions exist. For a one –dimensional case the conductivity was found to be negligible. The effects of to cal cooling on the thermal instability were ex...
