Increase of the atomic phase density in a hollow laser waveguide

A study is made of the channeling of atoms in a narrowing hollow waveguide carrying on its inner surface a surface wave with positive detuning for the absorption line of an atom. The inelastic reflection of atoms from the surface light wave and the convergent geometry of the waveguide make it possible to decrease the temperature and increase the phase density of an ensemble of atoms introduced continuously into the hollow convergent waveguide from a magnetooptic trap, by a factor of 10⁵. It is suggested that such a waveguide be used to study collective phenomena in quantum-mechanical systems with a high density (Bose-Einstein condensate) and as a high-luminosity coherent source of cold atoms.

斜向静磁场中光导波模式转换与衍射理论

应用经典场论和耦合模理论计算了斜向静磁场作用下，磁性薄膜波导中静磁波与导波光的相互作用.计算结果表明，与垂直静磁场情形相比，斜向静磁场时的相匹配条件有所变化，由于磁性薄膜波导中法拉第磁光效应增强等因素，导波光的Bragg衍射效率得以显著增加.这有利于应用YIG等低损耗磁性薄膜做成高衍射效率的磁光波导器件，亦有利于降低Bi∶YIG等高比法拉第旋转的磁光薄膜波导器件的体积和损耗.此外，理论指出的在斜向静磁场条件下所具有的一些磁光特性与实验结果亦符合得很好. 关键词：     

Full-vectorial mode solver for anisotropic optical waveguides using multidomain spectral collocation method

A full-vectorial mode solver in terms of the transverse magnetic field components for optical waveguides with transverse anisotropy is described by using the multidomain spectral collocation method based on Chebyshev polynomials. The waveguide cross section surrounded by the perfectly matched layers is divided into suitable number of homogeneous rectangles, and then connected with by imposing the continuities of the longitudinal field components at the dielectric interfaces shared by the adjacent rectangles, resulting in a generalized matrix eigenvalue problem. To validate the established method, results of an anisotropic square waveguide and a magnetooptic rib waveguide are presented and compared with those from the full-vectorial finite difference method, full-vectorial beam propagation method, and the experimental data.

Optical vortices in the scattering field of magnetic domain holograms

Experimental investigations and theoretical-model analyses have been made of the magnetooptic diffraction of light at ferrite garnet magnetic films with a banded domain structure which includes isolated magnetic grating defects in the form of “forks” and “breaks.” An analysis of the magnetic grating structure and the light diffraction field shows that in terms of its action on laser radiation, a banded domain grating is similar to a computer-synthesized phase hologram of an isolated pure screw-wavefront dislocation. It is shown that as a result of magnetooptic diffraction at a magnetic hologram, optical vortices may be reconstructed with a helicoidal wavefront carrying the topological charge l=±1,±2. Zh. Tekh.

Bright spatial solitons in controlled negative phase metamaterials

A fundamental discussion of linearly polarised bright spatial soliton beams that are localised in a planar waveguide is developed in a special way that leads to the introduction of nonlinear diffraction. It is emphasised, throughout, that this kind of diffraction dominates influences from non-paraxiality and typical quintic contributions to the nonlinearity. A major discussion is given that is based upon double-negative metamaterials and makes contact with previous literature. Both homogeneous and inhomogeneous diffraction-managed, planar waveguides are investigated with a view to examining the behaviour of narrow beam production and propagation. It is also shown that a Voigt configuration of an externally applied magnetic field can be used to create significant magnetooptic control over spatial soliton propagation in asymmetric waveguides. Both this type of control and diffraction-management lie at the heart of the numerical simulations given here. In all of these cases it is shown that nonlinear diffraction has a very important influence and will create an impact upon future applications.

Nondestructive measurement of loss performance in channel waveguide devices with phase modulator

A novel method using a phase modulator is proposed for the nondestructive measurement of propagation loss in a channel waveguide. The phase modulator was fabricated on a Ti-diffused LiNbO3 crystal. Tuning the effective optical length of a waveguide by application of an electrical field on the phase modulator, the contrast of the resultant Fabry-Perot resonator in a channel waveguide device can be measured. The associated propagation attenuation coefficients are determined from the experimental results. Coordination of the phase modulator with an optical channel waveguide device not only allows measurement of the bending loss, but improvement in the relative intensity noise owing to the reduction of the reflected power.

Signal amplification based on the local nonlinear Mach–Zehnder interferometer

Using the phase modulation of spatial solitons, a new scheme for all-optical signal amplification has been proposed in this paper. The considered structure is composed of the nonlinear Mach–Zehnder interferometer (NMZI) with the straight control waveguide (CWG), the uniform nonlinear medium (NLM) and the linear output waveguide. The local NMZI functions like a phase shifter. The light-induced index changes in the local nonlinear MZI are responsible for the input beam routing in the uniform nonlinear medium. The coupling of the input beam to the output waveguide depends on its propagation direction in the NLM. It is shown that the signal launched at CWG can deflect the beam launched at the NMZI (input beam) and a modulated (amplified) output could be obtained at the output waveguide. Further, signal pulse may be reshaped by appropriately increasing the NLM length. In addition, amplification factor may be enhanced by increasing the NLM length and injecting an appropriate continuous wave beam along with the signal beam at CWG.

Three-dimensional negative index of refraction at optical frequencies by coupling plasmonic waveguides

We identify a route towards achieving a negative index of refraction at optical frequencies based on coupling between plasmonic waveguides that support backwards waves. We show how modal symmetry can be exploited in metal-dielectric waveguide pairs to achieve negative refraction of both phase and energy. Control of waveguide coupling yields a metamaterial consisting of a one-dimensional multilayer stack that exhibits an isotropic index of -1 at a free-space wavelength of 400?nm. The concepts developed here may inspire new low-loss metamaterial designs operating close to the metal plasma frequency.     

Efficient weak-light amplification through phase control in a quantum well waveguide with electron spin coherence

We propose and analyze a new scheme to realize efficient weak-light amplification via phase control in a GaAs quantum well (QW) waveguide when driven coherently by two orthogonally polarized optical fields (a σ-polarized probe field and a π-polarized control field). It is shown that the amplification and absorption properties of the system are very sensitive to the relative phase between these driving fields. By choosing the relative phase appropriately, the enhanced amplification of the weak σ-polarized radiated field can be achieved in such a QW waveguide. We support our results by numerical calculation and analytical explanation. These theoretical investigations may find applications in devising the QW waveguide amplifier at room temperature.
