Atom waveguide and 1D optical lattice using a two-color evanescent light field around an optical micro/nano-fiber

We propose a two-color scheme of atom waveguides and one-dimensional （1D） optical lattices using evanescent wave fields of different transverse modes around an optical micro/nano-fiber. The atom guide potential can be produced when the optical fiber carries a red-detuned light with TE01 mode and a blue-detuned light with HEll mode, and the 1D optical lattice potential can be produced when the red-detuned light is transformed to the superposition of the TE01 mode and HE11 mode. The two trapping potentials can be transformed to each other for accurately controlling mode transformation for the red-detuned light. This might provide a new approach to realize flexible transition between the guiding and trapping states of atoms.

A novel quasi-phase-matching frequency doubling technique

A new quasi-phase-matching technique for efficient second-harmonic generation is reported. It is based on the spatial periodic modulation of the light intensity along the propagation direction, rather than the conventional spatial periodic modulation of the nonlinear optical coefficients. It can be realized by using a novel dual-channel waveguide frequency doubler structure for the desired light intensity distribution. This dual-channel waveguide device has major advantages including very small beam size, high light intensity within long nonlinear-waveguide interaction length, highly efficient second-harmonic generation, ease in fabrication of the nonlinear channel waveguides without any spatially periodic poling, and low waveguide propagation losses. The new quasi-phase-matching technique can also be applied to third-harmonic generation and other nonlinear optics processes.     

An Approximate Theoretical Model of Surface Plasmon Resonance Optical Waveguide and Fibre-optic Sensors

Optical surface plasmon resonance (SPR) excitation can be theoretically depicted and discussed using Fresnel’s equations. However, Fresnel’s equations cannot explicitly give expressions to reflect the characteristics of SPR systems, especially in SPR optical waveguide and fibre-optic sensors. In this paper a mathematical model based on the approximation proposed by Kretschmann in bulk optics is presented to describe the characteristics of SPR optical waveguide and fibre-optic sensors. The results show that the model keeps high accuracy when used in the area close to the minimum reflection, at which the resonance condition is achieved. This model can be used to analytically estimate the performance of SPR optical waveguide sensors, and SPR fibre-optic sensors in meridional rays approximation.     

Analysis of planar waveguides with index discontinuity or index slope discontinuity

In this paper, we propose a novel analytic transfer matrix method (ATMM) to the analysis of planar waveguides with index discontinuity or index slope discontinuity, for the cases when the conventional WKB method is no longer valid. We also analyze the physical insight of the approximations in WKB theory, and according to our research, the phase shift at the turning point is not /2, but exactly . Test calculations are done for an index profile with a known solution and the comparison shows that our method gives extremely accurate propagation constant.     

Spectral noise analysis of Er3+:Ti:LiNbO3 curved waveguide amplifiers

We report simulations concerning optical amplification in Er:Ti:LiNbO₃ curved waveguides. The derivation and the evaluation of the spectral optical gain, the spectral noise figure, the amplified spontaneous emission photon number, and the signal to noise ratio are performed under the small gain approximation. The simulations show the evolution of these parameters under various pump regimes, Er concentration profiles and waveguide lengths. The results obtained are of significant interest for the design of complex, rare earth-doped integrated optics structures involving bent waveguides.     

On the efficiency of small-angle Čerenkov second harmonic generation in optical waveguides

It is well known that in the non-depleted pump approximation, the efficiency of a second harmonic generation (SHG) of a guided mode in a non-linear optical waveguide increases quadratically with the interaction length (P ₂ L ²), and linearly (P ₂ L) in the erenkov regime. The efficiency of the erenkov SHG in the waveguide with a non-linear substrate and linear guiding layer is known to be strongly peaked at a particular pump wavelength and a particular waveguide thickness, with the erenkov angle approaching zero. The known theory predicts an infinite efficiency value at the peak, however. In this contribution, a simple integral expression for the SHG efficiency in the erenkov regime is derived. For large erenkov angles and interaction lengths it yields the expected P ₂ L dependence, while in the limit of small erenkov angles the dependence is found to have the form of P L ^3/2, possessing also a finite value at the efficiency peak. The condition determining the accurate position of the efficiency peak in the waveguide thickness–pump wavelength plane is given, too.
