分数阶衍射蜂窝晶格中带隙涡旋孤子的传输与控制

基于分数阶非线性薛定谔方程,研究分数阶衍射效应下蜂窝晶格中带隙涡旋光孤子的存在性与传输特性.首先采用平面波展开法得到蜂窝晶格能带结构,其次在带隙结构中分别采用改进的平方算子迭代法、分步傅里叶法和傅里叶配置法研究含有蜂窝晶格势的分数阶非线性薛定谔方程中带隙涡旋孤子的模式及其传输特性.研究结果发现带隙涡旋孤子的传输特性受Iévy指数和传播常数的影响.在稳定区间,带隙涡旋孤子可以稳定传输,而在非稳定区间,带隙涡旋孤子会随着传输距离的增加而逐渐汇聚,失去环状结构演变为基孤子.且Lévy指数越大,带隙涡旋孤子能够稳定传输的距离越长,功率越低.此外,相邻晶格同相位两个带隙涡旋孤子与旁瓣能量相叠加,反相位两带隙涡旋孤子与旁瓣能量相抵消,传输过程中逐渐失去环状结构,演化为类偶极子模式,且受方位角调制影响而周期性旋转.在非相邻晶格处两带隙涡旋孤子,由于旁瓣影响较小,带隙涡旋孤子在传输过程中能较好地保持环状结构.     

金属和自散焦周期性介质界面表面间隙孤子的研究

研究了金属和自散焦周期性介质界面表面间隙孤子的形成及其稳定性.这种表面间隙孤子只存在于超过格子深度临界值的有限间隙内,在第一间隙和第二间隙内间隙孤子存在区域包括稳定区域和不稳定区域,第二间隙内格子深度的临界值远大于第一间隙内格子深度的临界值.在第一间隙内,对给定的格子深度,当传播常数增大时,表面间隙孤子的能流变小,格子区域内表面间隙孤子振荡拖尾变短.对给定的传播常数,表面间隙孤子的能流随格子深度的增加而增大,增大格子深度能把表面间隙孤子由不稳定态转为稳定态.不稳定表面间隙孤子在传输中向横轴正向偏转,偏转角度随格子深度的增加而变小,其主瓣传播轨迹是一条锯齿形曲线.在第二间隙内,表面间隙孤子有较多的拖尾振荡,不稳定区域靠近存在区域的上限,并且随着传播常数增加而逐渐减小.     

局域单PT对称势中多级孤子的传输特性研究

具有Parity-Time(PT)对称性的光学系统是近年提出的一种新型光学结构,在光开关、光子信息处理器件等方面具有潜在的应用。研究了局域单PT对称光学系统中双级孤子和三级孤子的存在范围与稳定特性。研究结果表明:多级孤子存在一临界传播常数,传播常数对应了线性模下的本征值。双级孤子和三级孤子仅能在较深的PT对称势中才能稳定地传输。多级孤子的稳定性的范围随着PT对称势的深度增加而扩大;孤子的能量随着传播常数的增大而增加,但随着PT对称势的调制深度的增加而减少。     

二维PT对称晶格势中的多极光孤子

基于改进的平方算符方法和傅里叶配点法,研究了二维宇称-时间(PT)对称的三角-高斯晶格势中二极、三极和四极光孤子的传输特性。结果表明:三极孤子的光场分布随参数变化而变化,不存在稳定的三极孤子;二极、四极孤子的功率随传播常数的增大而增大,随调制深度的增大而减小;孤子稳定性决定于晶格的调制深度和传播系数,对于给定的调制深度,孤子存在一个稳定性范围;当调制深度增加时,二极孤子的稳定性范围先减小后增大,而四极孤子则先呈波浪式增大后减小。     

二维三角光学格子中的PT光孤子研究

研究了基于自散焦克尔非线性的PT对称三角格子中双峰光孤子的存在性及稳定性。采用改进的平方算子法(MSOM)迭代计算出孤子的数值解,发现双峰之间具有相同相位的双峰光孤子存在于第一带隙,并且可以在某个范围内稳定传输。由傅里叶配点法得到的线性稳定性与非线性模拟传输的结果是一致的。此外,这种PT对称的双峰光孤子对入射角度非常敏感,从不同角度入射的光孤子具有不同的传输特性。

非宇称时间对称耦合器中的非局域孤子

研究了非宇称时间对称复数势下非线性耦合器中多类型非局域孤子的存在性和稳定性,发现基态孤子、偶极孤子、多极孤子分别从线性谱中不同的离散特征值分叉出来形成孤子族,其功率受非局域程度和传播常数的影响.在相变以下,各个类型孤子均在相对较低功率区间是稳定的.随着非局域程度的增加,基态孤子族的稳定区域变小,其他孤子族的稳定区域则变大.在相变以上,基态孤子则在相对中功率区是稳定的,并且从第二大离散特征值分叉出的偶极孤子不存在稳定区域.孤子线性稳定性分析结果中的特征值总是以共轭对的形式出现.此外,还研究了耦合系数对孤子态的影响.

温度对中心对称光折变稳态暗孤子演化的影响

为了得到温度对中心对称光折变晶体中空间暗孤子影响的结果,数值研究了中心对称光折变暗孤子动态演化的温度特性。结果表明,孤子强度包络演化强烈地依赖于晶体的温度和介电常数的温度特性。在290-320K的温度变化范围内,暗孤子的宽度随温度的增加而变大,孤子的峰值强度随温度的增加而变小。在300K的温度下,中心对称光折变介质中可以形成稳定的暗空间孤子,当温度从300K升高或降低时,孤子将克服较小的扰动而保持稳定的传播。通过调整温度可以改变孤子的空间形态。     

The contrast between defect solitons in parityben time symmetric superlattice and simple-lattice complex potentials

The existence and stability of defect superlattice solitons in parity-time (PT) symmetric superlattice and simple-lattice complex potentials are reported. Compared with defect simple-lattice solitons in similar potentials, the defect soliton in superlattice has a wider stable range than that in simple-lattice. The solitons' power increases with increasing propagation constant. For the positive defect, the solitons are stable in the whole region where solitons exist in the semi-infinite gap. For the zero defect, the solitons are unstable at the edge of the band. For the negative defect, the solitons propagate with the shape of Y at low propagation constant and propagate stably at the large one.     

Fundamental and multipole solitons supported by one-dimensional multilayer photonic crystals potentials

The existence and stability of solitons in one-dimensional multilayer photonic crystals potentials are reported. For all of the solitons, there exist cutoff points of the propagation constant below which the solitons vanish in the semi-infinite gap. The fundamental solitons are stable in the whole range where solitons exist. The antisymmetric dipole solitons can be stable when the propagation constant closes to the cutoff point. The range of stability for symmetric tripole solitons is changed with modulation depth and width of the multilayer photonic crystals potentials. The power of solitons increases with increasing of propagation constant and modulation width or decreasing of modulation depth of the potentials.     

Surface defect solitons at interfaces between dual-frequency and simple lattices

We reveal theoretically the existence and stability of surface defect solitons (SDSs) at interfaces between dual-frequency and simple lattices with focusing saturable nonlinearity. Solitons with some unique properties exist in such composite structures with the change of defect intensity. For zero defect or positive defect, the surface solitons exist at the semi-infinite gap and cannot exist in the first gap, and solitons are stable at lower power but unstable at high power. For the case of negative defect, the surface solitons exist not only in the semi-infinite gap, but also in the first gap. With increasing the defect depth, the stable region of surface solitons becomes narrower in the semi-infinite gap, these solitons are stable within a moderate power region in the first gap within unstable solitons in the entire semi-infinite gap.     

Gap solitons in defocusing lithium niobate binary waveguide arrays fabricated by proton implantation and selective light illumination

Photovoltaic photorefractive binary waveguide arrays are fabricated by proton implantation and selective light illumination on top of an iron-doped near stoichiometric lithium niobate crystal. Linear discrete diffraction and nonlinear formation of gap solitons were investigated by single-channel excitation using Gaussian light beams coupled into either wide or narrow waveguide channels. The results show that, at low power, linear light propagation leads to discrete diffraction, whilst for higher input power the focusing mechanism dominates, finally leading to the formation of gap solitons in the binary waveguide arrays. Our simulation of light propagation based on a nonlinear beam propagation method confirms the experimental findings.     

Dispersive shock waves in nonlinear arrays

We experimentally study dispersive shock waves in nonlinear waveguide arrays. In contrast with gap solitons, the nonlinearity here pushes the propagation constant further into the transmission bands, facilitating Bloch mode coupling and energy transport. We directly observe this coupling, both within and between bands, by recording intensity in position space and power spectra in momentum space.     

Defect solitons supported by parity-time symmetric defects in superlattices

The existence and stability of defect solitons supported by parity-time (PT) symmetric defects in superlattices are investigated. In the semi-infinite gap, in-phase solitons are found to exist stably for positive defects, zero defects, and negative defects. In the first gap, out-of-phase solitons are stable for positive defects or zero defects, whereas in-phase solitons are stable for negative defects. For both the in-phase and out-of-phase solitons with the positive defect and in-phase solitons with negative defect in the first gap, there exists a cutoff point of the propagation constant below which the defect solitons vanish. The value of the cutoff point depends on the depth of defect and the imaginary parts of the PT symmetric defect potentials. The influence of the imaginary part of the PT symmetric defect potentials on soliton stability is revealed.     

Interaction of counterpropagating discrete solitons in a nonlinear one-dimensional waveguide array

We experimentally investigate the interaction of counterpropagating discrete solitons in a one-dimensional waveguide array in photorefractive lithium niobate. While for low input powers only weak interaction and formation of counterpropagating vector solitons are observed, for higher input powers a growing instability results in discrete lateral shifting of the formed discrete solitons. Numerical modeling shows the existence of three different regimes: stable propagation of vector solitons at low power, instability for intermediate power levels leading to discrete shifting of the two discrete solitons, and an irregular temporal dynamic behavior of the two beams for high input power.

Solitons supported by defects of PT-invariant potentials with real part of dual-frequency lattices

The existence and stability of defect solitons in defective PT potentials with real part of dual-frequency lattices are reported. For positive defects, fundamental solitons are always stable in the semi-infinite gap and nonexistent in the first gap. While for negative defects, in the semi-infinite gap, fundamental solitons are stable in most of their existence region apart from low power region, but all the fundamental solitons are stable in the first gap. Dipole solitions are unstable in the whole semi-infinite gap regardless of defects, but in the first gap they can be stable in the low power region for positive defects.
