An accurate envelope equation for light propagation in photonic nanowires: new nonlinear effects
Tran X. Truong, Fabio Biancalana
We derive a new unidirectional evolution equation for photonic nanowires made of silica. Contrary to previous approaches, our formulation simultaneously takes into account both the…
All-optical diode action with Thue-Morse quasiperiodic photonic crystals
Fabio Biancalana
We theoretically investigate the possibility of realizing a nonlinear all-optical diode by using the unique features of quasiperiodic 1D photonic crystals. The interplay between th…
Gap solitons in spatiotemporal photonic crystals
Fabio Biancalana, Andreas Amann, Eoin P. O'Reilly
We generalize the concept of nonlinear periodic structures to systems that show arbitrary spacetime variations of the refractive index. Nonlinear pulse propagation through these sp…
Dynamics of light propagation in spatiotemporal dielectric structures
Fabio Biancalana, Andreas Amann, Alexander V. Uskov +1
Propagation, transmission and reflection properties of linearly polarized plane waves and arbitrarily short electromagnetic pulses in one-dimensional dispersionless dielectric medi…
Four-wave mixing instabilities in tapered and photonic crystal fibers
Fabio Biancalana, Dmitry V. Skryabin, Arturo Ortigosa-Blanch
We present an analytical study of four-wave mixing instabilities in tapered fibers and photonic crystal fibers. Our approach avoids the use of Taylor expansion for the linear susce…
