Trapped modes for periodic structures in waveguides
نویسنده
چکیده
The Laplace operator is considered for waveguides perturbed by a periodic structure consisting of N congruent obstacles spanning the waveguide. Neumann boundary conditions are imposed on the periodic structure, and either Neumann or Dirichlet conditions on the guide walls. It is proven that there are at least N (resp. N−1) trapped modes in the Neumann case (resp. Dirichlet case) under fairly general hypotheses, including the special case where the obstacles consist of line segments placed parallel to the waveguide walls.

Periodic structures in waveguides
We consider structures of period 2 spanning a two-dimensional waveguide of width 2N . Scattering problems where Neumann conditions are imposed on the boundary of the structure and either Neumann or Dirichlet conditions are applied on the guide walls are decomposed into N +1 independent problems. The existence of at least N trapped modes is proved for the Neumann guide case and for the Dirichlet...
متن کاملSelf-trapped bidirectional waveguides in a saturable photorefractive medium.
A time-dependent model for the generation of joint waveguides by counterpropagating light beams in photorefractive crystals is introduced. Depending on initial conditions and parameter values, the beams form stable structures or display periodic and irregular dynamics. Steady-state solutions nonuniform in the direction of propagation are found, representing a general class of self-trapped waveg...
متن کاملCounterpropagating self-trapped beams in photorefractive crystals
A time-dependent model for the formation of self-trapped optical beams in photorefractive media by counterpropagating laser beams is analysed. It is shown that dynamically the beams may form stable steady-state structures or display periodic and irregular temporal behaviour. Steady-state solutions of non-uniform cross section are found, representing a general class of self-trapped waveguides, t...
متن کاملTheoretical treatment of the interaction between two-level atoms and periodic waveguides.
Light transport in periodic waveguides coupled to two-level atoms is investigated theoretically. By using optical Bloch equations and a photonic modal formalism, we derive a convenient semi-analytical expression for calculating the scattering matrix of single atoms trapped in periodic waveguides. The expression that holds for both photonic and plasmonic waveguides represents a basic building bl...
متن کاملSurface multi-gap vector solitons.
We analyze nonlinear collective effects near surfaces of semi-infinite periodic systems with multi-gap transmission spectra and introduce a novel concept of multi-gap surface solitons as mutually trapped surface states with the components associated with different spectral gaps. We find numerically discrete surface modes in semi-infinite binary waveguide arrays which can support simultaneously ...
