Resonant nonlinear dielectric response in a photonic band gap material.
We study the dielectric response of impurity two-level atoms in a photonic band gap (PBG) to an applied laser field. In this system, the atoms may exchange energy coherently by resonance dipoledipole interaction (RDDI) which is assumed to be strong compared to the spontaneous emission rate. When the applied Rabi frequency exceeds the RDDI energy scale, nonlinear saturation of the absorptive par...
متن کاملSelf-induced transparency solitary waves in a doped nonlinear photonic band gap material
We derive the properties of self-induced transparency ~SIT! solitary waves in a one-dimensional periodic structure doped uniformly with resonance two-level atoms. In our model, the electromagnetic field is treated classically and the dopant atoms are described quantum mechanically. The resulting solitary waves take the form of ultrashort ~picosecond! laser pulses which propagate near the band e...
متن کاملAngular photonic band gap
Materials and structures that strongly discriminate electromagnetic radiation based on one, or more of its properties (e.g. polarization, frequency) play an enabling role for a wide range of physical phenomena. For example, polarizers can selectively transmit light based on its polarization [1] over a wide range of frequencies; photonic crystals [2] (PhCs) can reflect light of certain frequenci...
متن کاملPhotonic band-gap structures
The analogy between electromagnetic wave propagation in multidimensionally periodic structures and electronwave propagation in real crystals has proven to be a fruitful one. Initial efforts were motivated by the prospect of a photonic band gap, a frequency band in three-dimensional dielectric structures in which electromagnetic waves are forbidden irrespective of the propagation direction in sp...
متن کاملPhotonic band gap formation in certain self-organizing systems
We present a detailed study of photonic band structure in certain self-organizing systems that self-assemble into large-scale photonic crystals with photonic band gaps ~PBGs! or pseudogaps in the near-visible frequency regime. These include colloidal suspensions, inverted opals, and macroporous silicon. We show that complete three-dimensional PBGs spanning roughly 10% and 15% of the gap center ...
