Analysis of the Light Propagation in a Disordered Waveguide System
نویسنده
چکیده
The propagation of light in a disordered waveguide system composed of randomly different cores in size is treated as an initial value problem of the coupled mode equations and the average amplitude of light is theoretically derived using the scattering matrix. The damping factor obtained is compared with the numerical results. Both results are in good agreement with each other.

Finite-Difference Time-Domain Simulation of Light Propagation in 2D Periodic and Quasi-Periodic Photonic Structures
Ultra-short pulse is a promising technology for achieving ultra-high data rate transmission which is required to follow the increased demand of data transport over an optical communication system. Therefore, the propagation of such type of pulses and the effects that it may suffer during its transmission through an optical waveguide has received a great deal of attention in the recent years. We...
متن کاملTransverse localization of light and its dependence on the phase front curvature of the input beam in a disordered optical waveguide lattice
We investigate the influence of the phase front curvature of an input light beam on the transverse localization of light, choosing an evanescently coupled disordered one-dimensional semi-infinite waveguide lattice as an example. Our numerical study reveals that a finite phase front curvature of the input beam does indeed play an important role and it could degrade the quality of light localizat...

In this paper, we study two different Graded Index (GRIN) photonic crystal (PC) structures which are named as structure type I and type II. The PC structures are made of the square rod in an air background. To design a GRIN PC structure the lattice constant has been altered in the direction transverse to propagation. We investigated focusing effect and waveguiding behavior of electr...
متن کاملGiant absorption of light by molecular vibrations on a chip.
Vibrational overtone spectroscopy of molecules is a powerful tool for drawing information on molecular structure and dynamics. It relies on absorption of near infrared radiation (NIR) by molecular vibrations. Here we show the experimental evidence of giant enhancement of the absorption of light in solutions of organic molecules due to the switch from ballistic to diffusive propagation of light ...
متن کاملTwo mechanisms of disorder-induced localization in photonic-crystal waveguides
Unintentional but unavoidable fabrication imperfections in state-of-the-art photonic-crystal waveguides lead to the spontaneous formation of Anderson-localized modes thereby limiting slow-light propagation and its potential applications. On the other hand, disorder-induced cavities offer an approach to cavity-quantum electrodynamics and random lasing at the nanoscale. The key statistical parame...
