چکیده

We study spatiotemporal dynamics of soliton-induced twooctave- broad supercontinuum generated by fs pulses in an array of coupled nonlinear waveguides. We show that after fission of the input pulse into several fundamental solitons, red and blue-shifted nonsolitonic radiation, as well as solitons with lower intensity, spread away in transverse direction, while the most intense spikes self-trap into spatiotemporal discrete solitons.

Supercontinuum Generation in a Highly Nonlinear Chalcogenide/ MgF2 Hybrid Photonic Crystal Fiber

In this paper, we report the numerical analysis of a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) for generating an efficient supercontinuum medium. For our computational studies, the core of the proposed structure is made up of As2Se3 and the cladding structure consists of an inner ring of holes made up As2Se3 and four outer rings of air holes in MgF2. The proposed structure provides excellent nonlinear coeff...

Gigahertz frequency comb offset stabilization based on supercontinuum generation in silicon nitride waveguides.

Silicon nitride (Si3N4) waveguides represent a novel photonic platform that is ideally suited for energy efficient and ultrabroadband nonlinear interactions from the visible to the mid-infrared. Chip-based supercontinuum generation in Si3N4 offers a path towards a fully-integrated and highly compact comb source for sensing and time-and-frequency metro...

Observation of nonlinear self-trapping of broad beams in defocusing waveguide arrays.

We demonstrate experimentally the localization of broad optical beams in periodic arrays of optical waveguides with defocusing nonlinearity. This observation in optics is linked to nonlinear self-trapping of Bose-Einstein-condensed atoms in stationary periodic potentials being associated with the generation of truncated nonlinear Bloch states, existing in the gaps of the linear transmission spe...

Octave spanning supercontinuum generation in InGaP waveguides on a silicon substrate at 1550 nm

We present an octave spanning supercontinuum (at the -35 dB level) ranging from 1100 nm to 2500 nm in InGaP photonic wire waveguides that are bonded to a silicon substrate and pumped by an ultrashort pulsed laser centered at 1550 nm. OCIS codes: (130.4310) Integrated optics, Nonlinear; (190.4400) Nonlinear optics, materials; (320.6629) Ultrafast optics, supercontinuum generation; (90.4390) Nonl...

Supercontinuum generation in silicon waveguides relying on wave-breaking.

Four-wave-mixing processes enabled during optical wave-breaking (OWB) are exploited in this paper for supercontinuum generation. Unlike conventional approaches based on OWB, phase-matching is achieved here for these nonlinear interactions, and, consequently, new frequency production becomes more efficient. We take advantage of this kind of pulse propagation to obtain numerically a coherent octa...
