Blue solitary waves from infrared continuous wave pumping of optical fibers.
نویسنده
چکیده
Modulation instability of a continuous infrared wave leading to red-shifting solitons and blue-shifting dispersive waves and then subsequent soliton trapping is shown to enable the generation of blue solitary waves in optical fibers. The physical mechanism is described in the context of continuous wave supercontinuum generation leading to a spectrum which spans the visible and near infrared within practical experimental conditions.

Stable coupled conjugate solitary waves in optical fibers.
Four-wave mixing of an intense continuous-wave pump beam with an ultrashort soliton signal in an optical fiber is theoretically analyzed. A novel class of stable two-color coupled solitary waves is found. These vector parametric solitons represent the optimal frequency conversion of an ultrashort pulse.
متن کاملExistence of solitary waves in optical fibers owing to the mutual support between bright and dark pulses.
We introduce a new type of solitary wave in a lossless single-mode fiber in which a bright solitonlike pulse in the anomalous-dispersion range propagates together with a stationary dark pulse in the normal-dispersion range. Such a solitary wave can be generated by launching a bright pulse in the anomalous-dispersion range together with a long pulse of the same speed in the normal-dispersion ran...
متن کاملInvestigating the Amount of Forces Caused by Solitary Waves on Coastal Walls Using OpenFOAM Software
Coastal walls (dyke) are one of the methods of protecting the coast against coastal erosion and destructive forces of waves. The purpose of this study is to simulate the wave collision with the coastal dyke and compare the results with the laboratory model. Open FOAM open source software and K-ω SST turbulence model were used to simulate the amount of wave consumed by the coastal dyke. Taking i...
متن کاملSequential optical pumping of a far-infrared ammonia laser.
We present a novel technique for resonantly pumping a continuous-wave far-infrared NH(3) laser with a linetunable mid-infrared NH(3) laser that is optically pumped by a CO(2) laser. In this two-step process we first convert 10-microm CO(2) laser photons into 11-13-microm NH(3) laser photons, which are then converted into 60-400-microm photons in a far-infrared NH(3) laser. Continuous-wave laser...
متن کاملOptical-fluid dark line and X solitary waves in Kerr media
We consider the existence and propagation of nondi ractive and nondispersive spatiotemporal optical wavepackets in nonlinear Kerr media. We report analytically and con rm numerically the properties of spatiotemporal dark line solitary wave solutions of the (2+1)D nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). Dark lines represent holes of light on a continuous wave background. Moreover, we consider non...
