Steady-state bright-dark vector spatial solitons in biased two-photon photorefractive crystals

We show that bright-dark vector solitons are possible in biased two-photon photorefractive crystals under steady-state conditions. The analytical solutions of these vector solitons can be obtained if the intensities of the two vector components are approximately equal. When the intensities of the two vector components differ, the vector soliton pair solutions can be determined using simple numerical integration procedures. The stability of the bright-dark vector solitons has been investigated numerically.     

Polarization symmetry of vector fields

A group of additional invariance (polarization symmetry) of the Prock equations is considered, whose generators satisfy the algebra SU (3) (massive field) of SU (2) (massless field). The investigative method developed in the paper is directly related to the physical content of the transformations of the symmetry being discussed: the change in the polarization field. The small Lorentz group is a sub-group of the transformations being discussed. Possible physical applications of polarization symmetry are discussed.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, Ho. 7, pp. 77–80, July, 1982.     

Twin families of bisolitons in dispersion-managed systems

We calculate bisoliton solutions by using a slowly varying stroboscopic equation. The system is characterized in terms of a single dimensionless parameter. We find two branches of solutions and describe the structure of the tails for the lower-branch solutions.     

Polarization evolution characteristics of focused hybridly polarized vector fields

We investigate the focusing property and the polarization evolution characteristics of hybridly polarized vector fields in the focal region. Three types of hybridly polarized vector fields, namely azimuthal-variant hybridly polarized vector field, radial-variant hybridly polarized vector field, and spatial-variant hybridly polarized vector field, are experimentally generated. The intensity distributions and the polarization evolution of these hybridly polarized vector fields focused under low numerical aperture (NA) are experimentally studied and good agreements with the numerical simulations are obtained. The three-dimensional (3D) state of polarization and the field distribution within the focal volume of these hybridly polarized vector fields under high-NA focusing are studied numerically. The optical curl force on Rayleigh particles induced by tightly focused hybridly polarized vector fields, which results in the orbital motion of trapped particles, is analyzed. Simulation results demonstrate that polarization-only modulation provided by the hybridly polarized vector field allows one to control both the intensity distribution and 3D elliptical polarization in the focal region, which may find interesting applications in particle trapping, manipulation, and orientation analysis.     

Ultrasound and hypersound generation of new-type solitons and bisolitons in crystals

It has been shown that the principally new-type solitons and bisolitons are generated during the pulse impact of ultrasound and hypersound on crystal monatomic materials in addition to the known solitons. New-type bisolitons analogous to the bisolitons previously found by an analytical approach have been discovered with the use of the molecular dynamics method. It has been shown that the dispersion curve of these bisolitons is close to the dispersion curve of the conventional solitons. A subsonic compression soliton, the dispersion curve of which crosses the phonon dispersion curve, has been found along with the known supersonic compression soliton. The characteristics of the new-type solitons and bisolitons in uranium and plutonium crystal lattices are presented.     

Polarization locked vector solitons and axis instability in optical fiber

We experimentally observe polarization-locked vector solitons in optical fiber. Polarization locked-vector solitons use nonlinearity to preserve their polarization state despite the presence of birefringence. To achieve conditions where the delicate balance between nonlinearity and birefringence can survive, we studied the polarization evolution of the pulses circulating in a laser constructed entirely of optical fiber. We observe two distinct states with fixed polarization. This first state occurs for very small values birefringence and is elliptically polarized. We measure the relative phase between orthogonal components along the two principal axes to be +/-pi/2. The relative amplitude varies linearly with the magnitude of the birefringence. This state is a polarization locked vector soliton. The second, linearly polarized, state occurs for larger values of birefringence. The second state is due to the fast axis instability. We provide complete characterization of these states, and present a physical explanation of both of these states and the stability of the polarization locked vector solitons.

Polarization changes in vector Gaussian-Schell-model beams propagating through a thin lens

Based on Wolf's general tensorial theory of coherence, in which the vector nature of electromagnetic fields is considered, the closed-form propagation equation of vector Gaussian-Schell-model (GSM) beams passing through a paraxial optical ABCD system is derived, which shows the general applicable advantage, and is used to study polarization changes of GSM beams in passage through a thin lens. It is found that polarization changes are dependent on the propagation distance, focal length of the lens, beam and coherence parameters and bandwidth of the source spectrum in general. A comparison with the previous results is also made.

The coupling of two mutually incoherent optical beams with the same polarization and wavelength in two-photon photovoltaic photorefractive crystal is studied, it is predicted theoretically that incoherently coupled bright-dark photovoltaic spatial soliton pairs are possible due to two-photon photorefractive effect. The existing conditions of these soliton pairs in the crystal are discussed in detail. The intensity profile of these soliton pairs is shown by numerical calculation under the parameters of relevant crystal.

Experimental observation of bright-dark pulse emitting in an all-fiber ring cavity laser

We demonstrate the emission of bright pulse and dark pulse in a simple all-fiber ring cavity laser by using self-pulsing technique. The switching between bright pulse and dark pulse can be realized by properly rotating the polarization controller (PC). Meanwhile, the bright-dark pulse can also be generated in the fiber laser and is experimentally verified to be on two different orthogonal polarization axis of the cavity fiber. Our experimental results show that the bright pulse, the dark pulse or the bright-dark pulse can be obtained in an all-fiber laser by using self-pulsing technique.     

Prospects for neutron spectrometry of new-type bound multiphonon solitons and bisolitons generated by ultrasound and hypersound

It has been shown using the molecular dynamics method that new-type solitons and bisolitons are generated under the action of pulsed of ultrasound and hypersound on the crystalline single-atom materials. The dispersion curve of new-type bisolitons adjoins the dispersion curve of conventional solitons. A subsonic compression soliton is found, the dispersion curve of which intersects the phonon dispersion curve. Nuclei of new phases are generated under the inelastic collision of solitons in the fcc and hcp crystal systems at the early stage of structural phase transitions. The solitons of the new undulator type, which generate nuclei, are found. Characteristics of solitons and bisolitons in crystal lattices of uranium and plutonium are presented.

Generation of cavity-birefringence-dependent multi-wavelength bright–dark pulse pair in a figure-eight thulium-doped fiber laser

We experimentally demonstrated a stable multi-wavelength bright–dark pulse pair in a mode-locked thulium-doped fiber laser(TDFL). The nonlinear polarization rotation(NPR) and nonlinear optical loop mirror(NOLM) were employed in a figure-eight cavity to allow for multi-wavelength mode-locking operation. By incorporating different lengths of high birefringence polarization-maintaining fiber(PMF), the fiber laser could operate stably in a multi-wavelength emission state. Compared with the absence of the PMF, the birefringence effect caused by PMF resulted in rich multi-wavelength optical spectra and better intensity symmetry and stability of the bright–dark pulse pair.

基于亚波长偏振光栅的偏振光分束器设计

利用琼斯矩阵和矢量傅里叶系数方法分析了二元亚波长偏振光栅的偏振特性和衍射效率,并给出了相应的数学解析式.研究发现,通过入射光的偏振可以控制不同衍射输出级的偏振态,且0级输入偏振态与输出偏振态始终相同,而其它级次除线偏光外都与入射偏振态相反.当二元亚波长偏振光栅的位相延迟分别设置为0.62π和π时,可以将二元亚波长偏振光栅设计为1→3或1→2的偏振光分束器,且分束器具有衍射效率高、宽带宽、对入射角的变化不甚敏感的特点.
