Effective Kerr nonlinearity and two-color solitons in photonic band-gap fibers filled with a Raman active gas.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We predict a strong effective Kerr nonlinearity in hollow-core photonic crystal fibers filled with a Raman active gas which exceeds the intrinsic Kerr nonlinearity by 2 orders of magnitude. Two-color bright-bright and dark-bright solitons supported by this nonlinearity are found and the feasibility of their experimental observation is demonstrated.

Influence of optical Kerr coefficient on photonic band structures of hexagonal-lattice function photonic crystals
In this paper, we have studied the photonic band structure of function photonic crystals in which the dielectric constant of the scattering centers (rods) is a function of space coordinates. The under-studied lattice is hexagonal and cross section of rods has a circular symmetry embedded in the air background. Photonic band structures for both electric and magnetic polarizations of the electrom...
متن کاملObservation of two-dimensional nonlocal gap solitons.
We demonstrate, both theoretically and experimentally, the existence of nonlocal gap solitons in two-dimensional periodic photonic structures with defocusing thermal nonlinearity. We employ liquid-infiltrated photonic crystal fibers and show how the system geometry can modify the effective response of a nonlocal medium and the properties of two-dimensional gap solitons.
متن کاملBloch modes and self-localized waveguides in nonlinear photonic crystals
We present a modeling technique that uses eigenmode expansion to simulate infinite periodic structures with Kerr nonlinearity. Using a unit cell with Bloch boundary conditions, our iterative algorithm efficiently calculates self-consistent two-dimensional Bloch modes. We show how it can be used to study the band structure of nonlinear photonic crystals and to gain rapid insight in the operation...
متن کاملThe effect of material nonlinearity on the band gap for TE and TM modes in square and triangular lattices
In this article, by using the method of finite difference time domain (FDTD) and PML boundary conditions, we have studied the photonic band gaps for TE and TM modes in square and triangular lattices consisting of air holes in dielectric medium and compared the results. In addition, the effect of nonlinearity of the photonic crystal background on the photonic band gaps and comparison with the re...
متن کاملInvestigation of Scalar Modulation Instability in the Presence of Raman Scattering in Photonic Crystal Fibers
In this paper, by including Raman scattering in the coupled-mode equations, the scalar modulation instability in photonic crystal fibers is investigated. The evolution of the pump, Stokes and anti-Stokes waves along the fiber as well as the conversion efficiency for two cases, with and without Raman effect, are studied. The effect of anti-Stokes seed and the pump depletion on the evolution of S...
