Centrally Coupled Circular Array of Optical Waveguides: The Existence of Stable Steady-State Continuous Waves and Breathing Modes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A circular array of optical waveguides collectively coupled with a central core is investigated. Both linear and nonlinear coupling as well as energy transfer within the array elements and with the core are allowed making thus the model ideal for the design of high power stable amplifiers as well as of all-optical data processing devices in optical communications. The existence of stable steadystate continuous wave modes as well as of breathing modes is demonstrated. These properties render the proposed system functionally rich, far more controllable than a planar one and easier to stabilize.

We analyze the nonlinear dynamics near the incoherent state in a mean-field model of coupled oscillators. The population is described by a Fokker-Planck equation for the distribution of phases, and we apply center-manifold reduction to obtain the amplitude equations for steady-state and Hopf bifurcation from the equilibrium state with a uniform phase distribution. When the population is describ...
متن کاملStable discrete surface light bullets.
We analyze spatiotemporal light localization near the edge of a semi-infinite array of weakly coupled nonlinear optical waveguides and demonstrate the existence of a novel class of continuous-discrete spatiotemporal solitons, the so-called discrete surface light bullets. We show that their properties are strongly affected by the presence of the surface. To this end the crossover between surface...

In this paper, for the first time to our knowledge, we investigate the optical bi-stability in a compact parallel array of micro- ring resonators with 5μm radius, induced by optical nonlinearity. Due to the nature of perfect light confinement, resonance and accumulation process in a ring resonator, optical nonlinear effects, even at small optical power of a few milliwatts in this structure are ...
متن کاملAdd-Drop and Channel-Drop Optical Filters Based on Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators
Here, we propose an add-drop and a channel drop filter based on two-dimensional photonic crystal all circular ring resonators. These structures are made of a square lattice of silicon rods with the refractive index n1=3.464 surrounded by air (with refractive index n2=1). The broadest photonic band gap occurs at the filling ratio of r/a = 0.17. Two linear defect W1 waveguides couple to the ring....
متن کاملStability and Mobility of Localized and Extended Excitations in Nonlinear Schrödinger Models
This thesis is mainly concerned with the properties of some discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations. These naturally arise in many different physical contexts as the limiting form of general dynamical lattice equations that incorporate nonlinearity and coupling. Interest is focused on theoretical models of coupled optical waveguides constructed from materials with a nonlinear index of refracti...
