Spontaneous symmetry breaking in a quadratically driven nonlinear photonic lattice
We investigate the occurrence of a phase transition, characterized by the spontaneous breaking of a discrete symmetry, in a driven-dissipative Bose-Hubbard lattice in the presence of two-photon coherent driving. The driving term does not lift the original U(1) symmetry completely and a discrete Z2 symmetry is left. When driving the bottom of the Bose-Hubbard band, a mean-field analysis of the s...
متن کاملUltrafast and Nonlinear Plasmon Dynamics
The interaction of light with a metal mediated by surface plasmon polaritons provides for sub-diffraction limited optical confinement and control. While the relationship of the linear plasmon response to the underlying elementary electronic excitations of the metal is well understood in general, the corresponding ultrafast and nonlinear plasmon interactions could provide further enhanced functi...
متن کاملUltrafast nonlinear effects in one-dimensional photonic crystals
This thesis deals with the temporal dynamics of light interacting with a special class of nano-structures: so-called photonic crystals (PCs). The focus of these investigations is nonlinear phenomena on a sub-picosecond time scale. PCs are solid-state nano-structures with a spatially periodic dielectric function. They influence propagating light in an analogous manner to that of electronic motio...
متن کاملUltrafast Coherent Dynamics of a Photonic Crystal All-Optical Switch.
We present pump-probe measurements of an all-optical photonic crystal switch based on a nanocavity, resolving fast coherent temporal dynamics. The measurements demonstrate the importance of coherent effects typically neglected when considering nanocavity dynamics. In particular, we report the observation of an idler pulse and more than 10 dB parametric gain. The measurements are in good agreeme...
متن کاملPhason dynamics in nonlinear photonic quasicrystals.
We study the dynamics of phasons in a nonlinear photonic quasicrystal. The photonic quasicrystal is formed by optical induction, and its dynamics is initiated by allowing the light waves inducing the quasicrystal to nonlinearly interact with one another. We show quantitatively that, when phason strain is introduced in a controlled manner, it relaxes through the nonlinear interactions within the...
