Optical snakes and ladders: dispersion and nonlinearity in microcoil resonators.
نویسنده
چکیده
Microcoil resonators are a radical new geometry for high Q resonators with unique linear features. In this paper I briefly summarise their linear properties before extending the analysis to nonlinear interactions in microcoil resonators. As expected such nonlinear resonators are bistable and exhibit hysteresis. Finally I discuss possible applications and extensions to such resonators.

Dispersion and Nonlinearity in Ultra-Optical Ga2O3 and TiO2-Bi2O3-PbO Glass Systems
Dispersion, as the characteristic variation of refractive index with wavelength, is more pronounced, where the wavelength is approaching to the absorption band. In ultra-optical glasses, the nonlinear refractive index, concerning to the light intensity dependent phenomenon, becomes considerable. Here, two ultra-optical property glass systems; TiO2-Bi2O3-PbO (TBP...
متن کاملEffects of element separation and carrier wavelength on detection of snakes and ladders: implications for models of contour integration.
In this paper, we examine the mechanisms underlying the perceptual integration of two types of contour: snakes (composed of Gabor elements parallel to the path of the contour) and ladders (with elements perpendicular to the path). We varied the element separation and carrier wavelength. Increasing the element separation impaired detection of snakes but did not affect ladders; at high separation...
متن کاملAnalytical Study of Optical Bi-Stability of a Single-Bus Resonator Based on InGaAs Micro-Ring Array
In this paper, for the first time to our knowledge, we investigate the optical bi-stability in a compact parallel array of micro- ring resonators with 5μm radius, induced by optical nonlinearity. Due to the nature of perfect light confinement, resonance and accumulation process in a ring resonator, optical nonlinear effects, even at small optical power of a few milliwatts in this structure are ...
متن کاملTheory of Nonlinear s-Polarized Phonon-Polaritons in Multilayered Structures
A theory is presented for the dispersion relations of the nonlinear phonon-polaritons arising when phonons are coupled to the electromagnetic waves in multilayered structures of nonlinear materials. The calculations are applied to a multilayered structure consisting of a thin film surrounded by semi-infinite bounding media where each layer may have a frequency dependent dielectric function and ...
متن کاملOptical pulse compression based on nonlinear silicon waveguides and chirped Bragg gratings
Due to the growing demand for higher bandwidth, employing optical devices instead of electronic devices in data transmission systems has attracted much attention in recent years. Optical switches, modulators and wavelength converters are a few examples of the required optical devices. CMOS compatible fabrication of these devices, leads to much more growing of this technology. Optical pulse comp...
