Rectification of light refraction in curved waveguide arrays
arXiv:1001.0992 · doi:10.1364/OL.34.000458
Abstract
An 'optical ratchet' for discretized light in photonic lattices, which enables to observe rectification of light refraction at any input beam conditions, is theoretically presented, and a possible experimental implementation based on periodically-curved zigzag waveguide arrays is proposed.
