Using slowly varying envelope approximation, they can become well known nonlinear Schrodinger equation and soliton solution is got from the equation.     

Optical soliton with group delay in microring coupled-resonator optical waveguides

This paper derives the dispersion relation of microring coupled-resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) without any approximation by using the transfer matrix method. Based on the established dispersion relation of CROWs it obtains the slow group velocity and dispersion coefficient. It finds that the effect of dispersion on optical pulses can be adjusted to balance the effect of nonlinearity by changing coupling coefficient or loss, so optical soliton with group delay can be obtained in microring CROWs. The optical soliton with group delay is of great significance for applications of microring CROWs in delay lines and optical buffers of future all-optical communication systems.

Propagation in a directional coupler of parallel microring coupled-resonator optical waveguides

The fundamental concept of coupled-resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) is for the first time taken a step farther to propose the more complicated case of coupled-resonator directional couplers, by analyzing the phenomenon of propagation in two parallel chains of microring resonators. Using the method of transfer matrices it is shown that the infinite coupler supports even and odd supermodes that satisfy frequency-shifted replicas of the familiar CROW dispersion equation as well as modified periodic Floquet conditions. Depending on the relative coupling strengths between neighboring resonators in the same chain and between the two chains, the frequency bands of the supermodes can overlap or be completely separated, resulting, in the latter case, to a complete bandgap around the central resonance frequency of the microrings. Three frequency windows, corresponding to totally different properties of directional coupling, are defined through this band-overlap mechanism along the increased total bandwidth of the coupler. These predictions are fully confirmed in the response of the realistic finite-length version of the considered coupler which is also analyzed.     

One-dimensional spatial soliton families in optimally engineered quasi-phase-matched lithium niobate waveguides

The advantage for quadratic soliton generation of engineering the quasi-phase-matching period near the input of lithium niobate slab waveguides is demonstrated. This approach allows members of one-dimensional quadratic soliton families with different values of the wave-vector mismatch to be cleanly excited and to be characterized by quantitative intensity-profile measurements of both the fundamental and the second-harmonic soliton components.     

Propagation characteristics of chirped soliton in periodic distributed amplification systems with variable coefficients

Propagation characteristics of chirped soliton in periodic distributed amplification systems with variable coefficients are investigated by using the split-step Fourier method. The soliton pulse still maintains soliton characteristics after propagation in the system. The shape of output spectrum is still with a single peak. The temporal FWHM of an unchirped soliton performs a slight oscillation with the increase of propagation distance. The oscillation amplitude is slightly increased with the increase of the gain or loss parameter σ. The chirped soliton is obviously and periodically compressed and broadened with the increase of propagation distance in the system. The lager the value of chirp parameter |C| and σ is, the greater the variation of temporal width with the distance is. The effect of chirp on temporal width of soliton in a amplification system is greater than that in a loss system. Three types of numerical experiments show that the soliton with different perturbations can stably propagate along the fiber. In practical applications, one can obtain a suitable soliton pulse by controlling the parameters of the fiber system.     

Dynamics of two-mode radiation in optical waveguides with strong mode coupling

Amplitude equations, as well as the effective dispersion and nonlinearity parameters, which define the dynamics of a wave packet formed by two strongly coupled modes, are derived with allowance for the frequency dependence of the linear mode coupling coefficient. These equations are used to study the onset of the modulation instability of the two-mode wave packet, soliton-like pulses, and compression modes. Unlike single-mode systems, the last two effects in optical waveguides may arise for both a negative and positive disper-sion of the waveguide material.

Propagation of soliton waves in nonlinear dielectric slab waveguides of parabolic index of refraction

The pulse propagation in a non-linear slab waveguide of parabolic index of refraction is treated by using differential equation techniques. A graded index dielectric slab waveguide free of material dispersion with a cubic order non-linearity is considered. The electromagnetic wave inside the waveguide is described in terms of a non-linear equation. Slowly varying envelope function representation is employed to develop a non-linear partial differential equation for the unknown envelope function of the electric field. An averaging method over the transverse direction is applied to reduce the unknown envelope function non-linear differential equation into a form resembling the well known non-linear Schrödinger differential equation. This equation is solved by applying the Inverse Scattering Method. The N-soliton solution is developed and presented explicitly for the practical case of the single mode dielectric slab waveguide. Numerical results presenting single and double soliton propagation are also given.     

Geometrical theory of coupling errors in dielectric optical waveguides

The power losses due to coupling errors between source and fibre or two fibres are evaluated by means of a geometrical analysis of the coupling between an emitting and a detecting surfac. The theory is apllied to actual cases of separation, displacement and misalignment between a uniformly emitting lambertian source and fibre, and between two fibres. Good agreement is obtained with experimental results found in the literature.     

A theoretical analysis of mode-mixing in optical waveguides with nearest-neighbour mode coupling

Properties of the solutions of the coupled equations describing the flow of average mode power in optical waveguides are investigated. All of the important properties and their theoretical foundations are first reviewed for systems with arbitrary coupling and loss coefficients. It is then shown that, for the special class of systems with nearest-neighbour coupling, the solutions are expressible in terms of orthogonal polynomials. In particular, for systems obeying a quasi-uniform loss model and having coupling coefficients with simple dependence on mode number (uniform or linear), the solutions are associated with the classical polynomials. As illustrations of this analysis, the characteristics of optical power flow in three such systems are studied in detail. These include a slab-waveguide with uniform coupling, the corresponding cylindrical waveguide with uniform coupling, and a parabolic-index fibre with linear coupling dependence.

Propagation characteristics of highly elliptical core optical waveguides: a perturbation approach

A simple first-order perturbation approach to study the propagation characteristics of highly elliptical core waveguides is presented. The unperturbed index profile is taken to be a pseudo-rectangular core waveguide for which exact scalar wave modes are known. The method is used to obtain the various propagation characteristics of elliptical core, single mode waveguides. Results for various propagation characteristics obtained by the present analysis agree very well with those reported by other authors obtained by accurate numerical techniques.     

Grating-assisted coupling of optical fibers and photonic crystal waveguides

We propose and analyze a highly efficient method of coupling light from optical fibers to two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides. Efficient coupling is achieved by positioning of a tapered fiber parallel to the linear defect, where the photonic crystal's cladding functions as a grating coupler and provides field confinement as well. Numerical simulations indicate that better than 90% transmission is possible with a full width at half-magnitude bandwidth of 12nm. It is shown that one can increase the bandwidth by increasing the field overlap between the two waveguides.
