Photonic band-gap inhibition of modulational instabilities.
Spatial structures as a result of a modulational instability are studied in a nonlinear cavity with a photonic crystal. The interaction of the modulated refractive index with the nonlinearity inhibits the instability via the creation of a photonic band gap. A novel mechanism of light localization due to defects and pattern inhibition is also described.
متن کاملModulational instability: first step towards energy localization in nonlinear lattices
We study the modulational instability in discrete lattices and we show how the discreteness drastically modifies the stability condition. Analytical and numerical results are in very good agreement. We predict also the evolution of a linear wave in the presence of noise and we show that modulational instability is the first step towards energy localization. PACS numbers: 6310, 0340K, 4610, 0545
متن کاملGlobal Photonic Band Gaps in Two-Dimensional Metallic Lattices
The fundamental and higher frequency global photonic band gaps are obtained for transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes in photonic band gap (PBG) structures consisting of two-dimensional (2D) square and triangular lattices of perfectly conducting cylinders. The global photonic band gaps in metallic lattice, which are found to differ qualitatively as well as quantitatively f...
متن کاملModulational instability of spinor condensates
We demonstrate, analytically and numerically, that the ferromagnetic phase of the spinor Bose-Einstein condenstate may experience modulational instability of the ground state leading to a fragmentation of the spin domains. Together with other nonlinear effects in the atomic optics of ultra-cold gases (such as coherent photoassociation and four-wave mixing) this effect provides one more analogy ...
متن کاملPhotonic band gaps of three-dimensional face-centered cubic lattices
Using the photonic analogue of the Korringa-Kohn-Rostocker (KKR) method, the spectrum of electromagnetic waves in a three-dimensional fcc lattice of homogeneous dielectric spheres with various dielectric contrast is analyzed. We confirm the main features of the spectrum obtained by the plane wave method, namely that for a sufficiently high dielectric contrast a full gap opens in the spectrum be...
