Two-dimensional solitons at interfaces between binary superlattices and homogeneous lattices

M. Heinrich, Y. V. Kartashov, L. P. R. Ramirez +7

We report on the experimental observation of two-dimensional surface solitons residing at the interface between a homogeneous square lattice and a superlattice that consists of alt…

Doubly resonant optical nanoantenna arrays for polarization resolved measurements of surface-enhanced Raman scattering

J. Petschulat, D. Cialla, N. Janunts +9

We report that rhomb-shaped metal nanoantenna arrays support multiple plasmonic resonances, making them favorable bio-sensing substrates. Besides the two localized plasmonic dipole…

Compression of ultrashort UV pulses in a self-defocusing gas

L. Berge, C. Koehler, S. Skupin

Compression of UV femtosecond laser pulses focused into a gas cell filled with xenon is reported numerically. With a large negative Kerr index and normal dispersion, xenon promotes…

A simple and versatile analytical approach for planar metamaterials

J. Petschulat, A. Chipouline, A. Tuennermann +5

We present an analytical model which permits the calculation of effective material parameters for planar metamaterials consisting of arbitrary unit cells (metaatoms) formed by a se…

Analogue of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in a Terahertz Metamaterial

Sher-Yi Chiam, Andrew A Bettiol, Ranjan Singh +3

We experimentally demonstrate at terahertz frequencies that a planar metamaterial exhibits a spectral response resembling electromagnetically induced transparency. The metamaterial…

Nonlinearity-induced broadening of resonances in dynamically modulated couplers

A. Szameit, Y. V. Kartashov, M. Heinrich +7

We report the observation of nonlinearity-induced broadening of resonances in dynamically modulated directional couplers. When the refractive index of the guiding channels in the c…

Terahertz metamaterial with asymmetric transmission

R. Singh, E. Plum, C. Menzel +6

We show for the first time that a planar metamaterial, an array of coupled metal split-ring resonators with a unit cell lacking mirror symmetry, exhibits asymmetric transmission of…

Validity of effective material parameters for optical fishnet metamaterials

Christoph Menzel, Thomas Paul, Carsten Rockstuhl +3

Although optical metamaterials that show artificial magnetism are mesoscopic systems, they are frequently described in terms of effective material parameters. But due to intrinsic…

Discrete Family of Dissipative Soliton Pairs in Mode-Locked Fiber Lasers

Aleksandr Zavyalov, Rumen Iliew, Oleg Egorov +1

We numerically investigate the formation of soliton pairs (bound states) in mode-locked fiber ring lasers. In the distributed model (complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation)…

Coupling between a dark and a bright eigenmode in a terahertz metamaterial

Ranjan Singh, Carsten Rockstuhl, Falk Lederer +1

Terahertz time domain spectroscopy and rigorous simulations are used to probe the coupling between a dark and a bright plasmonic eigenmode in a metamaterial with broken symmetry. T…
