Zeno effect and switching of solitons in nonlinear couplers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Zeno effect is investigated for soliton type pulses in a nonlinear directional coupler with dissipation. The effect consists in increase of the coupler transparency with increase of the dissipative losses in one of the arms. It is shown that localized dissipation can lead to switching of solitons between the arms. Power losses accompanying the switching can be fully compensated by using a combination of dissipative and active (in particular, parity-time-symmetric) segments.

Effect of Relative Phase on the Stability of Temporal Bright Solitons in a PT- Symmetric NLDC
In this paper we numerically investigate the effect of relative phase on thestability of temporal bright solitons in a Nano PT- Symmetric nonlinear directionalcoupler (NLDC) by considering gain in bar and loss in cross. We also study the effect ofrelative phase on the output perturbed bright solitons energies, in the range of 0 to 180 . By using perturbation theory three eigenfunctions an...
متن کاملSoliton controlling, switching, and splitting in nonlinear fused-fiber couplers
We propose an exactly solvable model of soliton-based pulse control that describes the physically important situation when the soliton period is much longer than the length of the coupling region in a nonlinear fiber coupler. This case can occur, e.g., in fused-fiber couplers. We demonstrate that the problem of soliton interaction and switching in such a coupler can be reduced to a linear relat...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Stability for Temporal Bright Solitons in a PT-Symmetric NLDC
PT-Symmetry is one of the interesting topics in quantum mechanics and optics. One of the demonstration of PT-Symmetric effects in optics is appeared in the nonlinear directional coupler (NLDC). In the paper we numerically investigate the stability of temporal bright solitons propagate in a PT-Symmetric NLDC by considering gain in bar and loss in cross. By using the analytical solutions of pertu...
متن کاملSwitching dynamics of solitons in fiber directional couplers.
A simple analytical approach based on a variational formalism is applied to an analysis of the switching dynamics of solitons in fiber nonlinear directional couplers. It is demonstrated that soliton switching may be described by a simplified Hamiltonian model that displays three different regimes of soliton dynamics, depending on the universal parameter, which is the ratio of the squared intens...
متن کاملSlow-light switching in nonlinear Bragg-grating couplers.
We study propagation and switching of slow-light pulses in nonlinear couplers with phase-shifted Bragg gratings. We demonstrate that power-controlled nonlinear self-action of light can be used to compensate for dispersion-induced broadening of pulses through the formation of gap solitons, to control pulse switching in the coupler, and to tune the propagation velocity.
