Discrete Talbot effect in two-dimensional waveguide arrays.

چکیده
We theoretically study discrete Talbot self-imaging in hexagonal, square, and irregular two-dimensional waveguide arrays. Different from its counterpart in a continuous system, the periods of the input fields must belong to {1, 2, 3, 4, 6} for Talbot self-imaging. Also, the combinations of the input periods cannot be 3 & 4, or 4 & 6 along two different directions, which distinguishes itself from the one-dimensional discrete Talbot effect.

Discrete Talbot effect in waveguide arrays.
We report the first observation of discrete Talbot revivals in one-dimensional waveguide arrays. Unlike continuous systems where the Talbot self-imaging effect always occurs irrespective of the pattern period, in discrete configurations this process is only possible for a specific set of periodicities. Recurrence of different input periodic patterns is observed in good agreement with theory.
متن کاملAnisotropic diffraction and elliptic discrete solitons in two-dimensional waveguide arrays.
We demonstrate that both the linear (diffraction) and the nonlinear dynamics of two-dimensional waveguide arrays are considerably more complex and versatile than their one-dimensional counterparts. The discrete diffraction properties of these arrays can be effectively altered, depending on the propagation Bloch k-vector within the first Brillouin zone of the lattice. In general, this diffractio...
متن کاملMulticolor Talbot effect and control of polychromatic light patterns in modulated photonic lattices
We analyze propagation of polychromatic light patterns in modulated photonic lattices created with arrays of periodically curved coupled optical waveguides. We demonstrate that in waveguide arrays with specially designed modulation periodic recurrences of input light patterns produced by white-light and supercontinuum sources can be realized, e.g., through multicolor Talbot effect. © 2008 Elsev...
متن کاملDiscrete diffraction and spatial gap solitons in photovoltaic LiNbO3 waveguide arrays.
We investigate, experimentally and theoretically, light propagation in one-dimensional waveguide arrays exhibiting a saturable self-defocusing nonlinearity. We demonstrate low-intensity "discrete diffraction", and the high-intensity formation of spatial gap solitons arising from the first band of the transmission spectrum. The waveguide arrays are fabricated by titanium in-diffusion in a photor...
متن کاملSurface solitons in two-dimensional quadratic photonic lattices
Two-dimensional surface solitons have been recently predicted to exist as novel types of discrete solitons localized in the corners or at the edges of two-dimensional photonic lattices. These theoretical predictions were followed by the experimental observation of twodimensional surface solitons in optically-induced photonic lattices and waveguide arrays laser-written in fused silica. Important...
