Robust light transport in non-Hermitian photonic lattices
Combating the effects of disorder on light transport in micro- and nano-integrated photonic devices is of major importance from both fundamental and applied viewpoints. In ordinary waveguides, imperfections and disorder cause unwanted back-reflections, which hinder large-scale optical integration. Topological photonic structures, a new class of optical systems inspired by quantum Hall effect an...
متن کاملLight Propagation in Non-Hermitian Optical Structures
This thesis incorporates the concept of light propagation in non-Hermitian media. We use the waveguide arrays and one dimensional photonic crystals as the frameworks for our investigations. The notion of non-Hermiticity is implemented into these structures by considering the fact that the electromagnetic parameters of an optical medium can contain imaginary components. These imaginary component...
متن کاملFormation of discrete solitons in light-induced photonic lattices.
We present both experimental and theoretical results on discrete solitons in two-dimensional optically-induced photonic lattices in a variety of settings, including fundamental discrete solitons, vector-like discrete solitons, discrete dipole solitons, and discrete soliton trains. In each case, a clear transition from two-dimensional discrete diffraction to discrete trapping is demonstrated wit...
متن کاملLight localization in azimuthally modulated Bessel photonic lattices
We study the propagation and localization of light beams in azimuthally modulated Bessel photonic lattices induced optically in photorefractive crystals; such lattices resemble highly nonlinear micro-structured fibres. We report on the experimental observation of discrete diffraction, nonlinear localization, and subsequent formation of spatial solitons. Our experimental results are confirmed by...
متن کاملLight propagation and localization in modulated photonic lattices and waveguides
We review both theoretical and experimental advances in the recently emerged field of modulated photonic lattices. These artificial periodic dielectric structures provide a powerful tool for the control of the fundamental aspects of light propagation. Photonic lattices are arrays of coupled optical waveguides, where the light propagation becomes effectively discretized. The discretized nature o...
