Observation of stability of Gaussian beams and off-axis beam-cleaning in graded-index media
Varun Sharma, Nicholas Bender, Henry Haig +3
While nonlinear effects in graded-index (GRIN) multimode fibers have been studied extensively, little is known about nonlinear effects in larger GRIN waveguides, where the number o…
Experimental observation of a photonic hook
Igor V. Minin, Oleg V. Minin, Gleb M. Katyba +6
In this letter, we report the first experimental observation of a photonic hook - a new type of near field curved light generated at the output of dielectric cuboid with broken sym…
Multimode Nonlinear Fiber Optics: Massively Parallel Numerical Solver, Tutorial and Outlook
Logan G. Wright, Zachary M. Ziegler, Pavel M. Lushnikov +4
Building on the scientific understanding and technological infrastructure of single-mode fibers, multimode fibers are being explored as a means of adding new degrees of freedom to…
Interferometric control of the photon-number distribution
H. Esat Kondakci, Alexander Szameit, Ayman F. Abouraddy +2
We demonstrate deterministic control over the photon-number distribution by interfering two coherent beams within a disordered photonic lattice. By sweeping a relative phase betwee…
PT-symmetric transport in non-PT-symmetric bi-layer optical arrays
J. Ramirez-Hernandez, F. M. Izrailev, N. M. Makarov +1
We study transport properties of an array created by alternating layers with balanced loss/gain characterized by the key parameter . It is shown that for non-equal width…
Light transport in PT-invariant photonic structures with hidden symmetries
M. H. Teimourpour, R. El-Ganainy, A. Eisfeld +2
We introduce a recursive bosonic quantization technique for generating classical PT photonic structures that possess hidden symmetries and higher order exceptional points. We study…
Ermakov-Lewis symmetry in photonic lattices
B. M. Rodríguez Lara, P. Aleahmad, H. M. Moya-Cessa +1
We present a class of waveguide arrays that is the classical analog of a quantum harmonic oscillator where the mass and frequency depend on the propagation distance. In these photo…
Optical Asymmetry Induced by PT-symmetric Nonlinear Fano Resonances
F. Nazari, N. Bender, H. Ramezani +3
We introduce a new type of Fano resonances, realized in a photonic circuit which consists of two nonlinear PT-symmetric micro-resonators side-coupled to a waveguide, which have lin…
Observation of Asymmetric Transport in Structures with Active Nonlinearities
N. Bender, S. Factor, J. D. Bodyfelt +3
A mechanism for asymmetric transport based on the interplay between the fundamental symmetries of parity (P) and time (T) with nonlinearity is presented. We experimentally demonstr…
Unidirectional Nonlinear PT-symmetric Optical Structures
Hamidreza Ramezani, Tsampikos Kottos, Ramy El-Ganainy +1
We show that non-linear optical structures involving a balanced gain-loss profile, can act as unidirectional optical valves. This is made possible by exploiting the interplay betwe…
