Photons trapping within a nano-ring resonator controlled by light

We propose the interesting results that a bright and dark soliton pulse can be localized within a nonlinear nano-waveguide. The system consists of nonlinear micro- and nano-ring resonators, whereas the soliton pulse can be input into the system and trapped within the nano-waveguide. A soliton input is chopped by the nonlinear effects known as chaos into smaller pulses. The required pulse is filtered and amplified, which can be controlled and localized within the nano-waveguide. The localized bright and dark solitons are trapped within a nano-waveguide by controlling the nano-waveguide input power, which means that the photons trapping is controlled by light.     

An investigation of dark soliton behaviors within the nonlinear micro and nano ring resonators

We firstly propose the interesting results of a dark soliton pulse propagating within the nonlinear micro and nano waveguides. The system consists of nonlinear micro and nano ring resonators, whereas the dark soliton is input into the system and traveling within the waveguide. A continuous dark soliton pulse is chopped to be the smaller pulses by the nonlinear effects known as chaos. The nonlinear behaviors such as chaos, bistability and bifurcation are analyzed and discussed. The power amplification is the property that can be used to perform the long distance link, where the security is the dominant reason.     

A novel system for optically localized soliton pulse in a nano-waveguide

We propose a novel optical system that can be used to trap (store) light coherently. The system consists of two micro and a nano-ring resonators that can be integrated into a single system, which can be employed to generate the large bandwidth by a soliton pulse within a Kerr type nonlinear medium. The balance between dispersion and nonlinear lengths of the soliton pulse exhibits the soliton behavior known as self-phase modulation, which introduces the optical output (i.e. gain) constant, which means that light pulse can be trapped, i.e. localized coherently within the nano-waveguide. The time independent soliton pulse is adiabatically localized within the nano-ring device. Results obtained have shown that the trapping of the localized temporal and spatial soliton pulses is achieved.     

Generation of quadratic spatial dark soliton in periodically poled lithium niobate

In this paper, we report the evolution of quadratic spatial dark soliton in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN). The generation of solitons pairs by wavefront modulation methods is investigated in both numerical simulations and experiments. We found that quadratic dark spatial solitons have analogue performances compared with that in χ⁽³⁾ defocusing Kerr media.     

Observation of dark pulse in a dispersion-managed fiber ring laser

The observation of dark pulse in a dispersion-managed fiber ring laser with net negative cavity group velocity dispersion (GVD) is reported. Both bright and dark pulses can be obtained in our fiber laser. When we appropriately adjust the cavity birefringence to achieve triple-wavelength mode-locked operation in the laser by rotating the polarization controller, the bright pulse could be switched to dark pulse. It is believed that the dark dispersion-managed (DM) pulse generation is caused by the linear and nonlinear intermodulation effects among the three wavelength pulses.     

Dynamics of vector dark soliton induced by the Rabi coupling in one-dimensional trapped Bose-Einstein condensates

The Rabi coupling between two components of Bose-Einstein condensates is used to controllably change ordinary dark soliton into dynamic vector dark soliton or ordinary vector dark soliton. When all inter- and intraspecies interactions are equal, the dynamic vector dark soliton is exactly constructed by two sub-dark-solitons, which oscillate with the same velocity and periodically convert with each other. When the interspecies interactions deviate from the intraspecies ones, the whole soliton can maintain its essential shape, but the sub-dark-soliton becomes inexact or is broken. This study indicates that the Rabi coupling can be used to obtain various vector dark solitons.     

Dynamics of ring dark solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates and nonlinear optics

Quasiparticle approach to dynamics of dark solitons is applied to the case of ring solitons. It is shown that the energy conservation law provides the effective equations of motion of ring dark solitons for general form of the nonlinear term in the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger or Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Analytical theory is illustrated by examples of dynamics of ring solitons in light beams propagating through a photorefractive medium and in non-uniform condensates confined in axially symmetric traps. Analytical results agree very well with the results of our numerical simulations.

Multi-wavelength generation of an extremely narrow pulse using a ring resonator system for bio-cells microscopy

We propose a new system of an extremely narrow light pulse generation for optical microscopy applications using a nonlinear ring resonator system. The system consists of one nano and three micro-optical ring resonators, which can be used to generate the 50 fm (10⁻¹⁵ m) optical spectral width at the broad wavelength spectrum. By using a soliton pulse with a pulse width of 50 ps, peak power of 1 W, center wavelength at 550 nm, and after the soliton pulse is launched into the first ring device, the chaotic pulses are generated within the first ring. The chaotic filtering behaviors are performed by using the second and the third ring devices, whereas the extremely short pulse, i.e. narrow spectral width, can be generated by using the extended nano-ring device. The broad spectrum of the harmonic waves is generated and filtered, which is of use in optical tomography. Results obtained have shown that the generation of the broad spectrum of short pulse with width 100 fm and peak power 60 mW is achieved. The possibility of using such a system for nondestructive bio-cells microscopy, for visualizing bio-cells and for bio-cells tomography is also discussed in detail.     

Bound soliton pulses in a passively mode-locked fibre ring laser

The bound solitons in a passively mode-locked fibre ring laser are observed and their formation mechanism is summarized in this paper. In order to obtain stable bound solitons, a strong CW laser field at the centre of the soliton spectral is necessary to suppress and synchronize the random soliton phase variations.     

Novel storage and tunable light source generated by a soliton pulse in a micro ring resonator system

We propose a novel system of a dense wavelength division operation using the nonlinear micro ring resonators system that can be used to generate the broad output light spectra, whereas the significant increasing in channel capacity is obtained. A system consists of two micro and a nano ring resonators incorporating an add/drop filter that can be integrated into a single system. The large bandwidth signal is generated by using a soliton pulse propagating within a Kerr type nonlinear medium. The obtained results have shown the potential of using such a system for broadband light source generation, amplification, storage and regeneration, whereas the amplified signals can be stored within a nano-waveguide, which is allowed to form the regeneration of the broad light spectra after amplification. The advantage is that the specific wavelength of the broadband source, for instance, 1.50 μm can provide the super dense wavelength division multiplexing channels, whereas the increasing in channel capacity of 10,000 times is achieved.     

Study of the gain saturation effect on the propagation of dark soliton in Er-doped, Ga5Ge20Sb10S65 chalcogenide fiber amplifier

We study the effect of gain saturation on the propagation of fundamental dark soliton in a nonlinear, dispersive and amplifying medium. The Er^+ 3-doped, Ga₅Ge₂₀Sb₁₀S₆₅ chalcogenide glass is used for dark and erbium doped silicon glass for bright solitons. The numerical simulations show that dark soliton doesn't split to subpulses unlike bright soliton and also the dark soliton is more stable in the presence of gain saturation and gain dispersion effects. So the chalcogenide glasses are suitable for designing all optical devices.     

A novel system of the simultaneous trapping of dark-bright solitons within a nano-waveguide system

We propose a novel system of a nano-waveguide that can be used to generate the continuous spectrum, i.e. white light. The simultaneous trapping and generation of short and millimeter waves can also be performed by using either bright or dark soliton. A system consists of two micro- and a nano-ring resonators that can be integrated into a single system. The large bandwidth is generated by a soliton pulse within a Kerr-type nonlinear medium where the continuous bandwidth or wavelength can be performed. The simultaneous dark-bright solitons conversion is performed and achieved. Results obtained have shown the potential of using the technique for continuing light spectra generation, where the filtering signals are allowed by using the suitable device parameters. The advantage is that the large bandwidth separation of the short and sub-millimeter waves can be obtained, which is allowed to form the simultaneous generation of short and millimeter waves within a single system. Further, light pulse can be trapped within a nano-waveguide, which is available to form the memory device.     

Quantum reflection of a Bose-Einstein condensate with a dark soliton from a step potential

We study dynamical behaviors of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) containing a dark soliton reflected from potential wells and potential barriers, respectively. The orientation angle of the dark soliton and the width of the potential change play key roles on the reflection probability R_s. Variation of the reflection probability with respect to the orientation angle θ of the dark soliton can be well described by a cosine function R_s~cos[λ(θ-π/2)], where λ is a parameter determined by the width of the potential change. There are two characteristic lengths which determine the reflection properties. The dependence of the reflection probability on the width of the potential change shows distinct characters for potential wells and potential barriers. The length of the dark soliton determines the sensitive width of potential wells, whereas for potential barriers, the decay length of the matter wave in the region of the barrier qualifies the sensitive width of the barrier. The time evolution of the density profiles of the system during the reflection process is studied to disclose the different behaviors of matter waves in the region of the potential variation.     

Nonautonomous dark soliton solutions in two-component Bose–Einstein condensates with a linear time-dependent potential

We report the analytical nonantonomous soliton solutions （NSSs） for two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with the presence of a time-dependent potential. These solutions show that the time-dependent potential can affect the velocity of NSS. The velocity shows the characteristic of both increasing and oscillation with time. A detailed analysis for the asymptotic behavior of NSSs demonstrates that the collision of two NSSs of each component is elastic.     

Soliton shaping of dispersive waves in a passively mode-locked fibre soliton ring laser

We have studied the mechanism of soliton formation in a passively mode-locked fibre ring laser when the gain is increased. We show experimentally that new soliton pulses in the laser are generated by soliton shaping of dispersive waves. Our observation is further confirmed by numerical simulations where an improved model is used that takes into account explicitly the polarization dispersion effect and discrete saturable absorber effect.

Generalized optical filters using a nonlinear micro ring resonator system

We present the interesting results of nonlinear behaviors of a soliton pulse within a nonlinear micro ring resonator system, where the optical filter characteristics in terms of frequency, wavelength and time can be functioned by using the chaotic filter within the micro ring resonator system. There are three forms of applications using the chaotic soliton behaviors and optical filter characteristics presented. Firstly, the simultaneous up-link and down-link frequency bands can be filtered and the required frequency bands obtained. Secondly, we propose the simple system of an extremely narrow light pulse generation over the spectrum range, where the required wavelengths can be filtered and obtained. Finally, a simple system of fast light generation by using a soliton pulse circulating in the integrated micro ring devices is proposed. Using such a system, an attosecond pulse and beyond can be easily filtered and obtained.     

Frequency characteristics of the dark and bright surface solitons at a nonlinear metamaterial interface

We investigate the generation and properties of dark and bright surface waves at the interface of a conventional medium and a metamaterial. It is shown that the stable dark and bright surface solitons can coexist even when the nonlinear Kerr coefficients of the two media are negative, completely different from those at the interface between two conventional media. Most importantly, both the dark and bright surface solitons exist only within a certain range of the effective refractive index of the metamaterial, greatly depending on the frequency of the electromagnetic wave propagating in it. Therefore, the generation conditions for surface solitons, and the properties of the generated surface solitons such as the peak positions and the intensity of the dark and bright surface solitons, can be controlled by adjusting the structure parameters of the metamaterial and/or the frequency of the electromagnetic wave.     

Analysis of a second-order polarization-independent filter made of a single ring resonator and a Sagnac interferometer

A novel second-order polarization-independent filter made of a single ring resonator and a Sagnac interferometer (SRRSI) is proposed, and its filtering characteristics are investigated. By using birefringence in waveguide, a single ring resonator can be used to synthesize a filter with second-order response. Analytical formulas are derived for characteristics of the SRRSI varied with waveguide parameters, such as the coupling coefficient; and the critical condition of a second-order Butterworth filter is given. The influence of loss in the ring resonator is also analyzed.
