Beam dynamics in PT symmetric optical lattices.
The possibility of parity-time (PT) symmetric periodic potentials is investigated within the context of optics. Beam dynamics in this new type of optical structures is examined in detail for both one- and two-dimensional lattice geometries. It is shown that PT periodic structures can exhibit unique characteristics stemming from the nonorthogonality of the associated Floquet-Bloch modes. Some of...
متن کاملScattering of the discrete solitons on the PT -symmetric defects
We study the propagation of linear waves and solitons in an array of optical waveguides with an embedded defect created by a pair of waveguides with gain and loss satisfying the socalled parity-time (PT ) symmetry condition. We demonstrate that in the case of small soliton amplitudes, the linear theory describes the scattering of solitons with a good accuracy. We find that the incident high-amp...
متن کاملManagement of Wavefront Reformation and Intense Focusing in Photonic Lattices with Local PT-Symmetry
PT -symmetric optics is an emerging field, with numerous applications in photonics. Here, we theoretically propose and study PT -symmetric architectures supporting novel beam-propagation controlled by appropriate manipulation of the system’s amplifying and dissipative elements. The base-platforms to observe these dynamics are binary photonic waveguide lattices consisting of dimmers, with amplif...
متن کاملSpatial Solitons in Parity-time-symmetric Mixed Linear-nonlinear Optical Lattices: Recent Theoretical Results
We provide a brief review of recent theoretical studies of optical spatial solitons in parity-time(PT-) symmetric mixed linear-nonlinear lattices. The existence and stability of optical spatial solitons forming in PT-symmetric lattices with spatially periodic modulation of the Kerr nonlinearity are briefly overviewed. The linear optical lattices are considered to be either regular lattices or s...

In this paper, by placing the electro optical modulator (EOM) into the external cavity of the semiconductor laser (SL) and amplitude modulation of the optical feedback, the dynamical variation of the output intensity of the laser has been studied. This is analyzed numerically via bifurcation and time series diagrams with respect to the applied amplitude modulation index, and modulation voltage...
