Applications of Random Nonlinear Photonic Crystals Based on Strontium Tetraborate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Properties of strontium tetraborate (SBO) and features of as-grown anti-parallel domains are summarized. From the point of view of nonlinear optics, these domains form nonlinear photonic crystals (NPC). Applications of NPC to the deep ultraviolet generation and fs pulse diagnostics are described. NPC and SBO are prospective media for the creation of a widely tunable source of fs pulses in the vacuum ultraviolet and for autocorrelation diagnostics of broadly tunable sources.

Design and Analysis of a Novel Hexagonal Shaped Channel Drop Filter Based on Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystals
In this paper a new optical channel drop filter (CDF) based on two dimensional (2-D) photonic crystals (PhC) with hexagonal shaped structure is proposed and numerically demonstrated by using the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) and plane-wave-expansion (PWE) techniques. Photonic crystals (PhCs) are artificial dielectric nanostructure materials in which a periodic modulation of the material ...

We report the simulation results for impact of nonlinear Kerr effect on band structures of a two dimensional photonic crystal (2D-PhC) with no defect, a PhC based W1-waveguide (W1W), and also Coupled-Cavity Waveguides (CCWs). All PhC structres are assumed to a square lattice of constant a made of GaAs rods of radius r=0.2a, in an air background. The numerical simulation was performed using...

In this paper, the localized TM surface waves of a nonlinear self-focusingleft-handed slab sandwiched between a uniform medium and a one-dimensionalphotonic crystal (1D PC) is analytically investigated. Our method is based on the firstintegral of the nonlinear Maxwell's equations. For the TM surface waves, the presenceof two electric field components makes the analysis difficult. Therefore, we ...
متن کاملPeriodic, quasi-periodic, and random quadratic nonlinear photonic crystals
Quadratic nonlinear photonic crystals are materials in which the second order susceptibility is spatially modulated while the linear susceptibility remains constant. These structures are significantly different than the more common photonic crystals, in which the linear susceptibility is modulated. Nonlinear processes in nonlinear photonic crystals are governed by the phase matching requirement...
