Photonic band-gap inhibition of modulational instabilities.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spatial structures as a result of a modulational instability are studied in a nonlinear cavity with a photonic crystal. The interaction of the modulated refractive index with the nonlinearity inhibits the instability via the creation of a photonic band gap. A novel mechanism of light localization due to defects and pattern inhibition is also described.

Coupled-mode theory for photonic band-gap inhibition of spatial instabilities.
We study the inhibition of pattern formation in nonlinear optical systems using intracavity photonic crystals. We consider mean-field models for singly and doubly degenerate optical parametric oscillators. Analytical expressions for the new (higher) modulational thresholds and the size of the "band gap" as a function of the system and photonic crystal parameters are obtained via a coupled-mode ...
متن کاملInvestigating the Properties of an Optical Waveguide Based on Photonic Crystal with Point Defect and Lattice Constant Perturbation
In this paper, a photonic crystal waveguide with point defects and lattice constant perturbations of +5%, -5% are being investigated. Firstly waveguide structures with constant and specific parameters are being studied and photonic band gap diagrams for TE/TM modes are depicted; then pulse propagation in the frequencies available in the band gap are shown. After that, effects of parameters like...
متن کاملModulational and filamentational instabilities of intense photon pulses and their dynamics in a photon gas.
It is shown that an intense photon pulse interacting nonlinearly with sound waves in a photon gas is subjected to modulational and filamentational instabilities. Starting from a new set of coupled equations governing nonlinear photon-photon interactions, we derive a dispersion relation which depicts the temporal and spatial amplification rates of the modulational and filamentational instabiliti...
متن کاملBragg localized structures in a passive cavity with transverse modulation of the refractive index and the pump.
We consider a passive optical cavity containing a photonic crystal and a purely absorptive two-level medium. The cavity is driven by a superposition of two coherent beams forming a periodically modulated pump. Using a coupled mode reduction and direct numerical modeling of the full system we demonstrate the existence of bistability between uniformly periodic states, modulational instabilities a...
متن کاملساختار نواری و تابش گرمایی بلور فوتونیکی دو بعدی سیلیکونی
In this research, we have studied the photonic band structure, optical properties and thermal emission spectrum of 2D Silicon photonic crystal with hexagonal structure. The band structure, band gap map and the gap size versus radius have been calculated by plane wave expansion method. The maximum band gap size of TE (TM) polarization and the complete gap size are 51% (20%) and 17% at air hole r...
