Analysis of Supercontinuum Generation Under General Dispersion Characteristics and Beyond the Slowly Varying Envelope Approximation
The generation of broadband supercontinua (SC) in air-silica microstructured fibers results from a delicate balance of dispersion and nonlinearity. We analyze two models aimed at better understanding SC. In the first one, we characterize linear dispersion in the Fourier domain from the calculated group velocity dispersion (GVD) without using a Taylor approximation for the propagation constant. ...
متن کاملAnalytical treatment of self-phase-modulation beyond the slowly varying envelope approximation
Analytical treatment of the self-phase-modulation of an ultrashort light pulse is extended beyond the slowly varying envelope approximation. The resulting wave equation is modified to include corrections to self-phasemodulation due to higher-order spatial and temporal derivatives. Analytical solutions are found in the limiting regimes of high nonlinearities and very short pulses. Our results re...
متن کاملNew formulation of the beam propagation method based on the slowly varying envelope approximation
We combine the theoretical results of some recent publications on the beam propagation method based on the finite difference method (PDBPM) and the slowly varying envelope approximation (SVEA). The use of the SVEA leads to a considerable reduo tion of the computation time but introduces a fundamental error in the phase velocity of a given mode and also to an error due to the finite step size al...
متن کاملWide-angle beam propagation method without using slowly varying envelope approximation
A new wide-angle (WA) beam propagation method (BPM) is developed whereby the exact scalar Helmholtz propagator is replaced by any one of a sequence of higher-order m ,n Padé approximant operators. Unlike the previous well-known WA-BPM proposed by Hadley [Opt. Lett. 17, 1426 (1992)], the resulting formulations allow one a direct solution of the second-order scalar wave equation without having to...
متن کاملBreakdown of the Slowly Varying Amplitude Approximation: Generation of Backward Traveling Second Harmonic Light
By numerically solving the nonlinear field equations, we simulate second-harmonic generation by laser pulses within a nonlinear medium without making the usual slowly-varying-amplitude approximation, an approximation which may fail when laser pulses of moderate intensity or ultrashort duration are used to drive a nonlinear process. Under these conditions we show that a backward-traveling, secon...
