Phase conjugation and negative refraction using nonlinear active metamaterials.
We present an experimental demonstration of phase conjugation using nonlinear metamaterial elements. Active split-ring resonators loaded with varactor diodes are demonstrated theoretically to act as phase-conjugating or time-reversing discrete elements when parametrically pumped and illuminated with appropriate frequencies. The metamaterial elements were fabricated and shown experimentally to p...
متن کاملOptical phase conjugation in third-order nonlinear photonic crystals
We predict that the efficiency of the optical phase conjugation generation can be enhanced by more than four orders of magnitude in a xs3d nonlinear superlattice, as compared with that in a homogeneous nonlinear medium of the same sample thickness and xs3d nonlinearity. Such an effective enhancement utilizes the localized properties of the fields inside the sample at the band-edge state, gap-so...
متن کاملCompensation for channel dispersion by nonlinear optical phase conjugation.
Recent theoretically and experimental"5'7-l0 studies indicate that the generation of phase-conjugate replicas of incident optical waves has certain formal aspects of time reversal and that this property can be used to correct for spatial-propagation distortion. In addition, chirp compensation using four-wave mixing has been analyzed."1 In this Letter we explore theoretically what happens follow...
متن کاملPure nonlinear optical activity in metamaterials
We demonstrate a type of meta-atom for creating metamaterials with giant nonlinear optical activity but vanishing linear optical activity in a wide frequency range. Such properties are not found in any natural materials, and we call this regime as pure nonlinear optical activity. We further extend our design concept and show that the metamaterial can be tuned dynamically to exhibit either posit...
متن کاملCompensation of nonlinear phase noise impairments through optical phase conjugation in long-haul transmission systems
Differential-quadrature phase-shift-keying (DQPSK) can, unlike on-off-keying (OOK), be impaired by nonlinear phase noise (NPN). It has been shown that optical phase conjugation (OPC) is an effective compensation scheme for NPN resulting from the ASE of EDFAs (ASE-NPN). In this paper we discuss the influence of NPN resulting from modulator imperfections (MI-NPN). We show that MI-NPN can be compe...
