理论分析了闭路光伏晶体中灰孤子诱导的波导.研究发现,闭路光伏灰孤子诱导的波导在不同孤子灰度值,电流密度和光强比率下均为单模,文中光强比率指孤子峰值强度与暗辐射之比.研究结果解释了闭路光伏灰孤子限制在中心的能量随着电流密度的增加而增加,随着孤子灰度值和光强比率的增加而减小.文章还提供了光伏晶体的相关例子.     

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.

有偏压的光伏光折变晶体中屏蔽光伏孤子的自偏转

修正了有偏压的光伏光折变晶体中屏蔽光伏孤子的理论。用微扰法研究了屏蔽光伏孤子的自偏转，得出孤子光呸中心的运动为抛物线，并且空间频率分量随传播距离而线性移动，改变外偏压或旋转光的偏振方向可以控制其自偏转。当光伏效应可忽略时，屏蔽光伏孤子的非线性波动方程就转化为屏蔽孤子的非线性波动方程，它的自偏转就转化为屏蔽孤子的自偏转。当外偏压为零时，屏蔽光伏孤子的非线性波动方程就转化为光伏孤子的非线性波动方程，它的自偏转证明了光伏孤子中也存在着自偏转。

借助线性稳定性分析方法,推导出包含非线性耦合作用的锯齿型光波导阵列中平面波的离散调制稳定性增长率的解析表达式,并针对不同次近邻耦合系数分析了非线性耦合作用对调制不稳定性区域的影响.结果表明,改变非线性耦合系数的值会明显影响调制不稳定区域的形状.根据调制稳定性分析结果,预测了亮离散孤子可能存在的参数区域.然后,利用一种准离散的多重尺度方法得到了此锯齿型光波导阵列中亮离散孤子的解析解,并分析了它们的存在条件,结果与离散调制不稳定性分析预测的存在条件基本一致.     

非中心对称介质构成的光波导中的孤子传输

Waveguides induced by steady-state gray solitons in biased photorefractive-photovoltaic crystals

We carry out a theoretical investigation of the properties of waveguides induced by photorefractive one-dimensional steady-state gray spatial solitons (i.e., screening solitons, photovoltaic solitons, and screening-photovoltaic solitons). We demonstrate that waveguides induced by photorefractive steady-state gray spatial solitons are only a single guided mode for both all soliton graynesses and all values of ρ, where ρ is the ratio between the soliton peak intensity and the dark irradiance, and moreover, waveguides induced by gray photovoltaic solitons for closed-circuit condition are also only a single guided mode for all electric current densities. We find that the confined energy near the center of a photorefractive steady-state gray spatial soliton increases with ρ and decreases with an increase in the soliton grayness. We also find that the confined energy near the center of a gray photovoltaic soliton for closed-circuit condition increases with the electric current density. On the other hand, waveguides induced by gray screening-photovoltaic solitons are gray screening soliton-induced waveguides when the bulk photovoltaic effect is neglectable and are gray photovoltaic soliton-induced waveguides when the external bias field is absent.     

Dynamic, electronically controlled angle steering of spatial solitons in AlGaAs slab waveguides

We demonstrate experimentally that spatial solitons in AlGaAs slab waveguides can be deflected by an electronically induced prism. We also show that a weak signal beam can be guided and steered by the solitons, thus demonstrating the feasibility of a dynamically reconfigurable optical interconnect.     

Two-component spatial optical solitons in a four-state ladder system via electromagnetically induced transparency

We propose a scheme to generate two-component spatial optical solitons in a lifetime broadened four state atomic system with a ladder configuration via electromagnetically induced transparency. We show that, different from the schemes using passive optical media such as photorefractives and planar waveguides, the two-component spatial optical solitons in the present coherent resonant system can be produced with very low light intensity. The stability of the two-component spatial optical solitons and their interaction are also investigated by numerical simulations.     

Spatial solitons in optically induced gratings

We study experimentally nonlinear localization effects in optically induced gratings created by interfering plane waves in a photorefractive crystal. We demonstrate the generation of spatial bright solitons similar to those observed in arrays of coupled optical waveguides. We also create pairs of out-of-phase solitons, which resemble twisted localized states in nonlinear lattices.     

Waveguides Induced by Screening-Photovoltaic Solitons in Biased Photorefractive-Photovoltaic Crystals

We investigate theoretically waveguides induced by screening-photovoltaic solitons in biased photorefractive-photovoltaic crystals. We show that the number of guided modes in a waveguide induced by a bright screening photovoltaic soliton increases monotonically with the increasing intensity ratio of the soliton, which is the ratio between the peak intensity of the soliton and the dark irradiance. On the other hand, waveguides induced by dark screening-photovoltaic solitons are always single mode for all intensity ratios and the confined energy near the centre of a dark screening-photovoltaic soliton increases monotonically with the increasing intensity ratio. When the bulk photovoltaic effect is neglectable, these waveguides are those induced by screening solitons. When the external field is absent, these waveguides predict those induced by photovoltaic solitons.

Soliton-induced waveguides in an organic photorefractive glass

We demonstrate optical waveguiding of a probe beam at 980 nm by a soliton beam at 780 nm in an organic photorefractive monolithic glass. Both planar and circular waveguides induced by one- and two-dimensional spatial solitons formed as a result of orientationally enhanced photorefractive nonlinearity are produced in the organic glass. Possibilities for increasing the speed of waveguide formation are discussed.     

Do solitonlike self-similar waves exist in nonlinear optical media?

We show analytically that bright and dark spatial self-similar waves can propagate in graded-index amplifiers exhibiting self-focusing or self-defocusing Kerr nonlinearities. The intensity profiles of the novel waves are identical with those of fundamental bright or dark spatial solitons supported by homogeneous passive waveguides with the same type of nonlinearity. Thus, we reveal a previously unnoticed connection between spatial solitons and self-similar waves. We also suggest that the discovered self-similar waves can be used in a promising scheme for the amplification and focusing of spatial solitons in future all-optical networks.     

Second-harmonic generation in waveguides induced by photorefractive spatial solitons

We demonstrate experimentally second-harmonic generation in waveguides induced by photorefractive solitons and show that the conversion efficiency is improved considerably. These induced waveguides are flexible and can be generated in any crystalline direction that allows soliton formation, and thus offer broad tunability (by rotation of the crystal), which cannot exist in fabricated waveguides.
