Ultrafast optical switching in Kerr nonlinear photonic crystals

Nonlinear photonic crystals made from polystyrene materials that have Kerr nonlinearity can exhibit ultrafast optical switching when the samples are pumped by ultrashort optical pulses with high intensity due to the change of the refractive index of polystyrene and subsequent shift of the band gap edge or defect state resonant frequency. Polystyrene has a large Kerr nonlinear susceptibility and almost instantaneous response to pump light, making it suitable for the realization of ultrafast optical switching with a response time as short as a few femtoseconds. In this paper, we review our experimental progress on the continual improvement of all-optical switching speed in two-dimensional and three-dimensional polystyrene nonlinear photonic crystals in the past years. Several relevant issues are discussed and analyzed, including different mechanisms for all-optical switching, preparation of nonlinear photonic crystal samples by means of microfabrication and self-assembly techniques, characterization of optical switching performance by means of femtosecond pump-probe technique, and different ways to lower the pump power of optical switching to facilitate practical applications in optical information processing. Finally, a brief summary and a perspective of future work are provided.

Collision of optical solitons with Kerr law nonlinearity

The intra-channel collision of optical solitons, with Kerr law nonlinearity, is studied by the aid of quasi-particle theory. The perturbation terms considered in this paper are all of Hamiltonian type. It is shown that the soliton–soliton interaction can be suppressed in the presence of these perturbations, namely, the self-steepening, the third-order dispersion, the fourth-order dispersion and the frequency separation between the soliton carrier and the gain-center frequency. The prediction of quasi-particle theory are fully confirmed by direct numerical simulations.     

Controllable Kerr nonlinearity with vanishing absorption in a four-level inverted-Y atomic system

The giant enhancement of Kerr nonlinearity in a four-level inverted-Y atomic system is investigated theoretically. Compared with that generated in a generic three-level system, the Kerr nonlinearity can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude with vanishing linear absorption. The physical mechanism leading to the giant enhancement of Kerr nonlinearity is also discussed.     

Enhanced Kerr nonlinearity in a quantized four-level graphene nanostructure

In this paper, a new model is proposed for manipulating the Kerr nonlinearity of right-hand circular probe light in a monolayer of graphene nanostructure. By using the density matrix equations and quantum optical approach, the third-order susceptibility of probe light is explored numerically.

Enhancement of Kerr nonlinearity and its application to entangled state discrimination

In this paper, the recent research on the enhanced Kerr nonlinearity and its application in entangled state discrimination is reported. Two kinds of dynamics, including interacting double dark resonances and spontaneously generated coherence, are presented to enhance the Kerr nonlinearity. The application of Kerr nonlinearity in quantum state discrimination is also discussed. An arbitrary Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state can be discriminated using two-photon polarization parity detection which resorts to cross-Kerr nonlinearity between a single-photon qubit and probe field. In addition, a scheme for Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state discrimination of matter qubits is also proposed using the dipole induced transparency in a cavity-dipole system.
