Properties of type II quadratic solitons excited by imbalanced fundamental waves.

چکیده
It was shown experimentally for type II second-harmonic generation in KTP that the family of quadratic spatial solitons exists over a wide range of imbalances for the two fundamental wave inputs. The threshold for soliton formation was measured as a function of both phase mismatch and relative input fraction of the energy in the two fundamental polarizations. Launching unequal fundamental inputs led to an imbalanced three-coupled-field output composition.

Parametric localized modes in quadratic nonlinear photonic structures.
We analyze two-color spatially localized nonlinear modes formed by parametrically coupled fundamental and second-harmonic fields excited at quadratic (or chi(2)) nonlinear interfaces embedded in a linear layered structure--a quadratic nonlinear photonic crystal. For a periodic lattice of nonlinear interfaces, we derive an effective discrete model for the amplitudes of the fundamental and second...
متن کاملStability of Three-Wave Parametric Solitons in Diffractive Quadratic Media.
Analysis of wave interaction in nonlinear media is a fundamental problem of nonlinear physics. Resonant interaction is especially interesting since it leads to an energy exchange between waves of different carrier frequencies. In a medium without the center of symmetry, quadratic nonlinearity results in parametric three-wave mixing when two waves create a third wave at a combined frequency v3 ...
متن کاملEmbedded Soliton Solutions: A Variational Study
Embedded solitons(ES) represent solitary waves which reside inside the continuous spectrum of a nonlinear-wave system. This type of solitons was first reported by Yang et al. [1] in optical models characterized by opposing dispersion and competing nonlinearities at fundamental and second harmonics. More specifically, optical media with quadratic χ and cubic χ nonlinear susceptibilities can supp...
متن کاملDark solitons in dispersive quadratic media.
We analyze dark solitons supported by second-order parametric interactions between the fundamental and second harmonics in the presence of dispersion and group-velocity mismatch. We reveal various types of solitary waves, including a family of two-wave dark solitons propagating on a modulationally stable background, dark solitons with nonmonotonic tails, and bound states of dark solitons.
متن کاملOne-dimensional quadratic walking solitons.
The properties of one-dimensional quadratic walking solitons were investigated in planar lithium niobate waveguides near the type I phase-matching condition for second-harmonic generation. Wave propagation was studied under different conditions of phase matching, walk-off angle, and incident fundamental power.
