Light Bullet Mode-Locking In Waveguide Arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
A theoretical proposal is presented for the generation of mode-locked light-bullets in planar waveguide arrays, extending the concept of time-domain mode-locking in waveguide arrays to spatial (transverse) mode-locking in slab waveguides. The model presented yields three-dimensional localized states that act as global attractors to the waveguide array system. Single pulse stationary and time-periodic solutions as well as the transition to multi-pulse solutions as a function of gain are observed to be stabilized in such a system.

Light-bullet routing and control with planar waveguide arrays.
Spatial mode-locking in three dimensions can be achieved in a slab waveguide array architecture. This study focuses on using the resulting robust and self-starting light bullet formation for photonics applications. Specifically, light bullets can be manipulated through a simple electronically addressable spatial gain dynamics. By applying gain ramps in time and/or space via electronics technolo...

متن کاملWaveguide Arrays for Optical Pulse-Shaping, Mode-Locking and Beam Combining
Nonlinear mode-coupling (NLMC) is a well-established phenomenon which has been both experimentally verified (1; 2; 3; 4; 5) and theoretically characterized (6; 7; 8). NLMC has been an area of active research in all-optical switching and signal processing applications using wave-guide arrays (2; 3; 4; 5), dual-core fibers (1; 6; 7), and fiber arrays (9; 10). Recently, the temporal pulse shaping ...
متن کاملSurface plasmon-waveguide hybrid polymer light-emitting devices using hexagonal Ag dots.
We investigated surface plasmon-waveguide hybrid resonances for enhancement of light emission in polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs). Hybrid waveguide-plasmon resonances in the visible range for waveguide mode and near IR range for surface plasmons were observed by incorporation of hexagonal Ag dot arrays. Considerable overlap between the emission wavelength of the PLEDs and the waveguide mod...

We show that classical light diffraction in arrays of specially modulated coupled optical waveguides can simulate the quantum process of two-mode squeezing in nonlinear media, with the waveguide mode amplitudes corresponding the signal and idler photon numbers. The whole Fock space is mapped by a set of arrays, where each array represents the states with a fixed difference between the signal an...
