Multimode nematicon waveguides.
We report on the first (to our knowledge) experimental observation of higher-order modes guided by soliton-induced waveguides in nematic liquid crystals. We find that the nematicon waveguides operate in a bounded power region specific to each guided mode. Below this region, the guided beams diffract; above this region, the mode mixing and coupling give rise to an unstable output.
متن کاملMultimode Emissions from MEH-PPV Blended with Polystyrene Film Waveguides
In the context of conjugated polymers, especially those of the poly (phenylenevinylene) (PPV) family, which are promising candidates as emission material in light emitting devices such as LEDs, field effect transistors and photovoltaic devices, we have, in the present study, prepared MEH-PPV [Poly [2- methoxy-5-(2’-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylen-evinylene] of low molecular weight and low polydisp...
متن کاملPrincipal modes in multimode waveguides.
We generalize the concept of principal states of polarization and prove the existence of principal modes in multimode waveguides. Principal modes do not suffer from modal dispersion to first order of frequency variation and form orthogonal bases at both the input and the output ends of the waveguide. We show that principal modes are generally different from eigenmodes, even in uniform waveguide...
متن کاملPlasmonic multimode waveguides with transversely structured core.
We analyze the propagation of surface plasmons in metallic multimode waveguides that consist of alternating stripes of different metals in the transverse direction and that are homogeneous in the longitudinal direction. The purpose of structuring the waveguide in the transverse direction is to take advantage of the different attenuation and propagation constants for different metals. Here, in p...
متن کاملOptical limiting properties of nonlinear multimode waveguides.
An experimental investigation of the transmission of multimode capillary waveguides with a nonlinear absorber in the core shows an enhanced nonlinear absorption relative to the same length of bulk material. The results are consistent with partial mode filling within the cores of the waveguides. This study confirms the promising optical limiting capabilities of multimode nonlinear waveguides and...
