Self-accelerating self-trapped optical beams.
We present self-accelerating self-trapped beams in nonlinear optical media, exhibiting self-focusing and self-defocusing Kerr and saturable nonlinearities, as well as a quadratic response. In Kerr and saturable media such beams are stable under self-defocusing and weak self-focusing, whereas for strong self-focusing the beams off-shoot solitons while their main lobe continues to accelerate. Sel...
متن کاملTheory of Self-Trapped Spatially Incoherent Light Beams
We present a modal theory of self-trapping spatially incoherent light beams in any general nonlinear media. We find that a self-trapped incoherent beam induces a multimode waveguide which guides the beam itself by multiply populating the guided modes. The self-trapping process alters the statistics of the incoherent beam, rendering it localized. We find the conditions for self-trapping (“existe...
متن کاملNonparaxial self-accelerating beams in an atomic vapor with electromagnetically induced transparency.
We theoretically and numerically investigate the nonparaxial self-accelerating beams in a Λ-type three-level energy system of rubidium atomic vapor in the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) window. In the EIT window, the absorption of the atomic vapor is small, and robust nonparaxial self-accelerating beams can be generated. The reason is that the energy of the tail transfers to the...
متن کاملExperimental observation of self-accelerating beams in quadratic nonlinear media.
We present the experimental observation of 1D and 2D self-accelerating nonlinear beams in quadratic media, which are also the first nonlinear self-accelerating beams in any symmetric nonlinearity. Notably, we show that the intensity peaks of the first and second harmonics are asynchronous with respect to one another, but the coupled harmonics exhibit joint acceleration within the nonlinear medi...
متن کاملNonparaxial Mathieu and Weber accelerating beams.
We demonstrate both theoretically and experimentally nonparaxial Mathieu and Weber accelerating beams, generalizing the concept of previously found accelerating beams. We show that such beams bend into large angles along circular, elliptical, or parabolic trajectories but still retain nondiffracting and self-healing capabilities. The circular nonparaxial accelerating beams can be considered as ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Coherent and Incoherent Laser Beams Propagation Through Turbulent Atmosphere
In this paper propagation of combined laser beam through atmosphere is investigated. Laser beam is combined via lens array arrangement. Turbulence is considered as an affecting factor of atmosphere and its effects on transverse coherence length (Fried parameter), peak intensity, propagation efficiency, and spot size of the laser beam is investigated. Coherent and incoherent combined beam are co...
