Multistep cascading and fourth-harmonic generation
Andrey A. Sukhorukov, Tristram J. Alexander, Yuri S. Kivshar +1
We apply the concept of multistep cascading to the problem of fourth-harmonic generation in a single quadratic crystal. We analyze a new model of parametric wave mixing and describ…

Multi-component optical solitary waves
Yuri S. Kivshar, Andrey A. Sukhorukov, Elena A. Ostrovskaya +5
We discuss several novel types of multi-component (temporal and spatial) envelope solitary waves that appear in fiber and waveguide nonlinear optics. In particular, we describe mul…

Two-color multistep cascading and parametric soliton-induced waveguides
Yuri S. Kivshar, Andrey A. Sukhorukov, Solomon M. Saltiel
We introduce the concept of two-color multistep cascading for vectorial parametric wave mixing in optical media with quadratic (second-order or chi-2) nonlinear response. We demons…
