Impact of dispersive and saturable gain/loss on bistability of nonlinear parity-time Bragg gratings.
We report on the impact of realistic gain and loss models on the bistable operation of nonlinear parity-time (PT) Bragg gratings. In our model we include both dispersive and saturable gain and show that levels of gain/loss saturation can have a significant impact on the bistable operation of a nonlinear PT Bragg grating based on GaAs material. The hysteresis of the nonlinear PT Bragg grating is...

Optical pulse comp...
متن کاملOptimization of Bistability in Nonlinear Chalcogenide Fiber Bragg Grating for All Optical Switch and Memory Applications
We solve the coupled mode equations governing the chalcogenide nonlinear fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) numerically, and obtain the bistability characteristics. The characteristics of the chalcogenide nonlinear FBGs such as: switching threshold intensity, bistability interval and on-off switching ratio are studied. The effects of FBG length and its third order nonlinear refractive index on FBG cha...
متن کاملSimulation and Applications of Nonlinear Fiber Bragg Gratings
We have simulated the behaviors of nonlinear fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). The generalized nonlinear equations governing these structures are solved by a method which uses a Fourier series procedure and a simple iterative method. All of the nonlinear effects are considered. Bragg soliton generation in intrinsic media and birefringence effects in FBGs are studied. We found that the first order di...
متن کاملParity–time-symmetric circular Bragg lasers: a proposal and analysis
We propose a new type of semiconductor lasers by implementing the concept of parity-time symmetry in a two-dimensional circular Bragg grating structure, where both the real and imaginary parts of the refractive index are modulated along the radial direction. The laser modal properties are analyzed with a transfer-matrix method and are verified with numerical simulation of a practical design. Co...
