A theoretical study on threshold conditions of modulation instability in oppositely directed couplers
2016
We theoretically investigate threshold conditions to observe modulation instability (MI) in a two-core nonlinear oppositely directed coupler (ODC) with a negative-index material (NIM) channel. Using linear stability analysis, we obtain an expression for the instability gain. The analysis shows, with two discrete instability regions, that the band at lower values of f (ratio of the backward to forward-propagating waves amplitude) is a result of the nonlinear positive index material (PIM) channel while the broader range band is a consequence of the nonlinear NIM channel. Both bands are highly sensitive to system parameters. We demonstrate that MI has a threshold-like condition in the normal d…
Dark spatial solitary waves in a cubic-quintic-septimal nonlinear medium
2017
We consider the evolution of light beams in nonlinear media exhibiting nonlinearities up to the seventh order wherein the beam propagation is governed by the cubic-quintic-septimal nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. An exact analytic solution that describes dark solitary wave propagation is obtained, based on a special ansatz. Unlike the well-known $\text{tanh}$-profile dark soliton in Kerr media, the present one has a functional form given in terms of ``${\text{sech}}^{2/3}$''. The requirements concerning the optical material parameters for the existence of this localized structure are discussed. This propagating solitary wave exists due to a balance among diffraction, cubic, quintic, and s…
Impact of fourth-order dispersion in the modulational instability spectra of wave propagation in glass fibers with saturable nonlinearity
2010
We analyze the modulational instability (MI) of light waves in glass fibers with a local saturable nonlinear refractive index. We identify and discuss the salient features of the effect of the fourth order of the fiber dispersion, in the MI spectra. Particularly, we find that in fibers with negative sign of the second-order dispersion and positive sign of the fourth-order dispersion (FOD), the two existing types of MI processes, called processes of type I, which generate a single pair of sidebands, and processes of type II, which lead to two pairs of sidebands, become highly sensitive to the magnitude of the FOD, both quantitatively and qualitatively. We demonstrate the existence of a criti…

Ultra-short pulse propagation in birefringent fibers—the projection operator method
2008
We examine the propagation of ultra-short optical light pulses in dispersion-managed birefringent fiber transmission systems, in which the pulse dynamics is governed by the coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equations with higher-order linear and nonlinear optical effects. We derive the equations of motion in terms of pulse parameters such as amplitude, temporal position, width, chirp, frequency and phase, using a projection operator method, and we obtain the spatial dynamical behavior of picosecond and femtosecond pulse parameters. From our detailed analysis, we show that the stimulated Raman scattering has a strong impact on the pulse dynamics.
Modulational instability in optical fibers with arbitrary higher-order dispersion and delayed Raman response
2006
International audience; We analyse modulational instability (MI) of electromagnetic waves in a large variety of optical fibers having different refractive-index profiles. For the normal-, anomalous-, and zero-dispersion regimes of the wave propagation, we show that whenever the second-order dispersion competes with higher-order dispersion (HOD), propagation of plane waves leads to a rich variety of dynamical behaviors. Most of the richness comes from the existence of critical behaviors, which include situations in which the HOD suppresses MI in the anomalous dispersion regime, and other situations in which the HOD acts in the opposite way by inducing non-conventional MI processes in the nor…
Gap solitons and modulation instability in a dynamic Bragg grating with nonlinearity management
2008
International audience; We investigate the occurrence of modulation instability in systems in which a dynamic Bragg grating consists of alternating positive and negative Kerr coefficients. The dependence of modulation instability gain spectra over the perturbation wavenumber and system parameters is portrayed near and at the edges of the photonic band gap structure. Further, we demonstrate the generation of traveling gap solitons near the photonic band gap structure through the modulation instability
Modulational instability and generation of self-induced transparency solitons in resonant optical fibers
2009
International audience; We consider continuous-wave propagation through a fiber doped with two-level resonant atoms, which is described by a system of nonlinear Schrodinger-Maxwell-Bloch (NLS-MB) equations. We identify the modulational instability (MI) conditions required for the generation of ultrashort pulses, in cases of both anomalous and normal GVD (group-velocity dispersion). It is shown that the self-induced transparency (SIT) induces non-conventional MI sidebands. The main result is a prediction of the existence of both bright and dark SIT solitons in the anomalous and normal GVD regimes.
Modulational instability in resonant optical fiber with higher-order dispersion effect
2010
International audience; The modulational instability (MI) of an electromagnetic wave in a resonant optical fiber with a two-level system is investigated. In the normal dispersion regime, we find the occurrence of nonconventional MI sidebands which are induced by the two-level resonant atoms. We also observe that the MI gain spectra are suppressed by the higher-order dispersion effect in the anomalous dispersion regime.
Generation of self-induced-transparency gap solitons by modulational instability in uniformly doped fiber Bragg gratings
2010
We consider the continuous-wave (cw) propagation through a fiber Bragg grating that is uniformly doped with two-level resonant atoms. Wave propagation is governed by a system of nonlinear coupled-mode Maxwell-Bloch (NLCM-MB) equations. We identify modulational instability (MI) conditions required for the generation of ultrashort pulses in both anomalous and normal dispersion regimes. From a detailed linear stability analysis, we find that the atomic detuning frequency has a strong influence on the MI. That is, the atomic detuning frequency induces nonconventional MI sidebands at the photonic band gap (PBG) edges and near the PBG edges. Especially in the normal dispersion regime, MI occurs w…
Optical Bistability and Switching in Oppositely Directed Coupler
2016
We report the optical bistability in two core oppositely directed coupler with negative index material channel. Using Langrangian variational method and Jacobi elliptic functions, we construct the solutions of the coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations. The bistability arises due to the effective feedback mechanism as a result of opposite directionality of the phase velocity and energy flow in the negative index material channel. We report the various ways to control and manipulate the bistability threshold and hysteresis loop, which could be useful in the design and development of fast and low-threshold optical switches.
Modulation instability scenario in negative index materials
2010
We present an investigation of the critical frequency windows permitting modulation instability in negative index materials. The principal motivation for our analysis stems from the impact of the inevitable presence of the effective dispersive magnetic permeability in addition to the effective dielectric permittivity determining the propagation model for ultrashort pulses in negative index materials. We emphasize the influence of nonlinear dispersion terms, arising out of the combinatorial effect of the dispersive permeability with the nonlinear polarization, over the MI phenomena, the outcome of its development achieved by using linear stability analysis. Gain spectrum investigation has be…
Suppression of sideband frequency shifts in the modulational instability spectra of wave propagation in optical fiber systems
2007
International audience; In standard optical fibers with constant chromatic dispersion, modulational instability (MI) sidebands execute undesirable frequency shifts due to fiber losses. By means of a technique based on average-dispersion decreasing dispersion-managed fibers, we achieve both complete suppression of the sideband frequency shifts and fine control of the MI frequencies, without any compromise in the MI power gain.
Critical behavior with dramatic enhancement of modulational instability gain in fiber systems with periodic variation dispersion
2008
International audience; We analyze modulational instability (MI) of light waves in fiber systems with periodically varying dispersion. The dispersion fluctuation generates special waves, called nonconventional MI sidebands, which are shown to be highly sensitive to two fundamental system parameters. The first one is the average dispersion of the system. Surprisingly, the second parameter turns out to be the mean value of the dispersion coefficients of the two types of fibers of the system, which is then called “central dispersion.” These two parameters are used to control and optimize the MI process. In particular, we establish the existence of a critical region of the central dispersion at…
Influence of spatial delay on the modulational instability in a composite system with a controllable nonlinearity.
2017
A theoretical investigation of the modulational instability (MI) in a composite system with a nonlocal response function is presented. A composite system of silver nanoparticles in acetone is chosen, whose nonlinearity can be delicately varied by controlling the volume fraction of the constituents, thus enabling the possibility of nonlinearity management. A pump-probe counterpropagation configuration has been assumed, and the interplay between the competing nonlinearities and the nonlocalities in the MI dynamics is systematically explored. A different class of nonlocalities have been considered, and the study reveals that the nonlocality critically depends on the kind of nonlocal function. …
