部分空间非相干暗光伏孤子诱导一维波导研究

在光折变晶体LiNbO3∶Fe中观察到部分空间非相干光形成的一维暗光伏孤子,并由此暗光伏孤子在该晶体中诱导出一维波导.暗光伏孤子是由光折变晶体的强光伏效应产生,是晶体自散焦效应和衍射效应相平衡的结果;此外,光伏孤子的形成还依赖于光束的传播方向和晶体光轴与强度梯度的相对方向.在一维情况下,非相干光孤子诱导出单一的平面波导,能够对弱光敏的强光进行导光.实验证明了用低能量非相干光束控制转换高能量相干光束的可能性.     

光折变光子晶格中空间二次谐波的产生

Hybrid nonlinearity supported by nonconventionally biased photorefractive crystals

We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that a nonconventionally biased photorefractive crystal can support hybrid nonlinearity, i.e., coexistence of self-focusing and self-defocusing nonlinearities under an identical bias condition. It is revealed that the nonlinearity experienced by a one-dimensional (stripe) beam can be switched between self-focusing and self-defocusing solely by changing the beam orientation. For a two-dimensional beam, the hybrid nonlinearity leads to unusual nonlinear beam dynamics with enhanced anisotropy and nonlocality.     

白光和激光产生的调制不稳定性的比较

在非线性自散焦LiNbO_3∶Fe晶体中,实验观察了用激光作光源和用白光作光源两种情况下所产生的调制不稳定性,并从三个方面对这两种情况进行了比较。实验结果表明:在两种情况下,达到稳定状态前,MI现象都会随辐照时间的增加而变得越来越清晰,并且MI图样都会随着入射光束形状的变化而变化。不同的是,用白光作光源时,灯丝长度方向与晶体c轴方向的夹角大于等于45°时出现MI,而用激光作光源时,入射光束方向与c轴方向的夹角不大于45°才出现MI。     

Observation of modulational instability in discrete media with self-defocusing nonlinearity

We report what we believe is the first observation of modulation instability in the anomalous-diffraction regions of a photonic lattice. The experiments were carried out in a 1D waveguide array fabricated in a lithium niobate crystal displaying the photovoltaic self-defocusing nonlinearity, and our results are confirmed numerically by simulating the nonlinear beam propagation.     

Formation of Hot Images in Laser Beams through a Self-defocusing Kerr Medium Slab

A nonlinear hot image is usually thought as of a special case of self-focusing, and thus occurs when a laser beam propagates through a slab of self-focusing medium. Here we show theoretically that a hot image may also be formed by a thin slab of self-defocusing medium. The physical origin for this hot image formation is akin to the in-line volume-phase holographic imaging due to the intensity-dependent refractive-index modulation of the self- defocusing medium. NumericM simulations confirm the theoretical prediction and further identify the dependence of the hot image on the beam power, the modulation depth of obscuration and the thickness of self-defocusing medium. The analysis presented here brings new insight into the physics of hot image formation in the high power laser system.     

Guiding light in optically induced ring lattices with a low-refractive-index core

We demonstrate a ring-shaped Bessel-like photonic lattice akin to a photonic bandgap fiber with a low-index core. While the ring lattice is optically induced in a bulk crystal with a self-defocusing nonlinearity, guidance of a probe beam propagating linearly through the core is clearly observed. The possible mechanism for such guidance is also discussed.     

Steady-state vortex-screening solitons formed in biased photorefractive media

We report the observation of steady-state photorefractive vortex-screening solitons. As a singly charged circular vortex nested on a broad beam propagates through a biased strontium barium niobate crystal, it self-traps in both transverse dimensions despite the inherent anisotropy of the photorefractive nonlinearity. When the vortex beam is a doughnut-shaped narrow beam, it breaks up into two elongated slices (with a self-defocusing nonlinearity) or into two focused filaments (with a self-focusing nonlinearity). We demonstrate the optical guidance of a probe beam in a circular waveguide induced by the self-trapped vortex.     

Induced focusing due to counter-propagation of a pair of bright and dark optical beams in self-defocusing Kerr media

We present two-dimensional numerical simulations of a nonlinear optical system made of a bright probe and a dark pump beam that counter propagate in a thin slice of self-defocusing Kerr media, simultaneously. The numerical results show that although the medium is self-defocusing to both pump and probe beam, a profile compression occurs under some conditions, and the weak bright probe beam is focused due to cross-phase modulation. The influence of the characteristics of beams and medium length on the probe beam compression is also investigated.     

Factors that influence the modulation instability in self-defocusing photorefractive crystal

We report on the experimental observation of the modulation instability in self-defocusing photorefractive LiNbO₃: Fe crystal. Experimental results show that the modulation instability is related to the illumination time; and it is also related to the angle that between the direction of c-axis and the direction of the threadlike beam that illuminate the crystal. And the modulation instability is also related to the shape of the incident light.     

Observation of the modulation instability and frequency-doubling in self-defocusing crystal

We report on the experimental observation of the modulation instability of uniform beam and frequency-doubling of interference fringes spatial frequency in self-defocusing photorefractive crystal LiNbO₃:Fe by the same experimental setup. Frequency-doubling appears if the nonlinearity of the c-axis is bigger than the modulation of the cylindrical lenses, otherwise the modulation instability appears.
