Modeling beam propagation in a moving nonlinear medium

Ryan Hogan, Giulia Marcucci, Akbar Safari +4

Fully describing light propagation in a rotating, anisotropic medium with thermal nonlinearity requires modeling the interplay between nonlinear refraction, birefringence, and the…

Orthogonal Spatial Coding with Stimulated Parametric Down-Conversion

Yang Xu, Sirui Tang, A. Nicholas Black +1

Orthogonal optical coding is widely used in classical multiuser communication networks. Using the phase conjugation property of stimulated parametric down-conversion, we extend the…

Controlling nonlinear rogue wave formation using the coherence length of phase noise

Saumya Choudhary, A. Nicholas Black, Aku Antikainen +1

Weak phase noise present on an optical field can be amplified by a self-focusing nonlinearity and form intense "rogue wave" features. Here, we study the effect of the coherence len…

Suppression of Nonlinear Optical Rogue Wave Formation Using Polarization-Structured Beams

A. Nicholas Black, Saumya Choudhary, E. Samuel Arroyo-Rivera +2

A nonlinear self-focusing material can amplify random small-amplitude phase modulations present in an optical beam, leading to the formation of amplitude singularities commonly ref…

Anomalous Optical Drag

Chitram Banerjee, Yakov Solomons, A. Nicholas Black +5

A moving dielectric medium can displace the optical path of light passing through it, a phenomenon known as the Fresnel-Fizeau optical drag effect. The resulting displacement is pr…

Quantum, Nonlocal Aberration Cancellation

A. Nicholas Black, Enno Giese, Boris Braverman +3

Phase distortions, or aberrations, can negatively influence the performance of an optical imaging system. Through the use of position-momentum entangled photons, we nonlocally corr…
