Spectral Energy Density in a Kerr Nonlinear Blackbody

In a Kerr nonlinear blackbody, bare photons with opposite wave vectors and helicities are bound into pairsand unpaired photons are transformed into a new kind of quasiparticle, the nonpolariton. The nonpolariton system constitutes free thermal radiation in the blackbody. The present paper investigates the spectral energy density of the thermal radiation. It is found that the spectral energy density of a Kerr nonlinear blackbody is larger than that of a normal blackbody.     

Low Threshold Bistable Switching by the Nonlinear One—Dimensional Photonic Crystal

In the approximation of the fast Debye relaxation of a nonlinear Kerr medium,the nonlinear finite-difference timedomain method is derived to simulate numerically the one-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystqal sandwiched by the Kerr medium.Bistable switching with a low threshold intensity of 0.01kW/cm^2 is obtained,and the corresponding refractive index change of the Kerr media is about 0.038.     

Nonlinear Localization due to a Double Negative Defect Layer in a One-Dimensional Photonic Crystal Containing Single Negative Material Layers

We investigate the effects of introducing a defect layer negative material layers on the transmission properties in a one-dimensional photonic crystal containing single The width of the defect layer is taken to be the same or smaller than the period of the structure. Different cases of the defect layer being linear or nonlinear and double positive or double negative are discussed. It is found that only a nonlinear double negative layer gives rises to a localized mode within the zero-Φeff gap in this kind of structure. It is also shown that the important characteristics of the nonlinear defect mode such as its frequency, its FWHM and the threshold of the associated bistability can be controlled by changing the widths of the defect layer and the host layers.     

Moving and Interaction of Compact-like Pulses in Klein-Gordon Lattice System

We study the moving and interaction of the compact-like pulses in the system of an anharmonlc lattice with a double well on-site potential by a direct algebraic method and numerical experiments. It is found that the localization of the compact-like pulse is rClated to the nonlinear coupling parameter Cnl and the potential barrier height Vo of the double well potential. The velocity of the moving compact-like pulse is determined by the linear coupling parameter Cl, the localization parameter q (the nonlinear coupling parameter Cnl) and the potential barrier height Vo.Numerical experiments demonstrate that appropriate Cl is not detrimental to a stable moving of the compact-like pulse.However, the head on interaction of two compact-like pulses in the lattice system with comparatively small Cl leads to the appearance of a discrete stationary localized mode and small amplitude nonlinear oscillation background, while moderate Cl results in the emergence of two moving deformed pulses with damping amplitude and decay velocity and radiating oscillations, and biggish Cl brings on the appearing of four deformed kinks with radiating oscillations and different moving velocities.     

Active modulation of plasmonic signal with a subwavelength metal/nonlinear dielectric material/metal structure

<正>Light propagation through a metal/nonlinear dielectric material/metal(M-NL-M) structure is numerically studied.The design parameters of the M-NL-M structure are found with the waveguide theory so that the structure only supports the symmetric surface plasmon polaritons(SPP(0)) mode and the antisymmetric surface plasmon polaritons(SPP(1)) mode.The coupling between the two modes within the M-NL-M structure is exploited.Through controlling the propagation constants of the two modes with the intensity-dependent dielectric constant of the nonlinear Kerr material,an effective all-optical control of plasmonic signal modulator can be realized with this M-NL-M structure.     

Eigenvalue spectrum analysis for temporal signals of Kerr optical frequency combs based on nonlinear Fourier transform

Based on the nonlinear Schr?dinger equation(NLSE) with damping, detuning, and driving terms describing the evolution of signals in a Kerr microresonator, we apply periodic nonlinear Fourier transform(NFT) to the study of signals during the generation of the Kerr optical frequency combs(OFCs). We find that the signals in different states, including the Turing pattern, the chaos, the single soliton state, and the multi-solitons state, can be distinguished according to different distributions of the eigenvalue spectrum. Specially, the eigenvalue spectrum of the single soliton pulse is composed of a pair of conjugate symmetric discrete eigenvalues and the quasi-continuous eigenvalue spectrum with eye-like structure.Moreover, we have successfully demonstrated that the number of discrete eigenvalue pairs in the eigenvalue spectrum corresponds to the number of solitons formed in a round-trip time inside the Kerr microresonator. This work shows that some characteristics of the time-domain signal can be well reflected in the nonlinear domain.     

Moving Compacton—like Kink in a Purely Anharmonic Lattice with Symmetric On—Site Potential

We study the moving compacton-like kink in the system of a purely anharmoinc lattice with symmetric onsite poential by a direct algebraic method.It is found that the localization of the compactons is related to the nonlinear coupling parameter Cnl and the potential barrier height V0 of the double well potential,and the velocity of the propagation of the compacton is determined by the localization parameter q and the potential barrier height V0.Numerical calculation results demonstrate that the compacton is stable when it moves along the lattice chain.     

Photonic Superfluidity in a Kerr Nonlinear Black Body

We study a photon blackbody field in Kerr nonlinear crystals in a superfluid state in which bare photons with opposite wave vectors and helicities are bound into pairs and unpaired photons are transformed into a new kind of quasiparticle, the nonpolariton. The photon-pair system is a superfluid and the nonpolariton system is a normal fluid. At zero temperature the superfluid possesses a large persistent energy density. It has been found that the spectral energy density and the radiation pressure of a Kerr nonlinear black body are larger than those of a normal black body.     

Entanglement Dynamics of Atoms in Double Jaynes-Cummings Models with Kerr Medium

Entanglement dynamics of the atoms in the double Jaynes-Cummings models with the Kerr medium is studied, and the effect of the Kerr medium on that is examined. The result shows that, the Kerr medium can control the entanglement dynamics of the atoms and repress entanglement sudden death. We can obtain the maximum entanglement between the atoms by strengthening the nonlinear interaction of the Kerr medium.     

Broadband Frequency Down-Conversion Using Coupled Cavity Structures in One-Dimensional Photonic Crystals

The frequency down-conversion of one-dimensional photonic crystals with the coupled cavity structure is investigated by the nonlinear finite-difference time-domain method. The efficient frequency conversion is obtained by utilizing the advantages of the broad eigenfrequency band, the strong localization and the Bloch phase matching of the coupled cavity structure. More importantly, the signal frequency could be tuned continuously within the whole band of the coupled cavity structure （with a bandwidth to central frequency ratio of 5.4%）, and the gains are homogeneous in the band.
