Modulational Instability in Nonlinearity-Managed Optical Media
Martin Centurion, Mason A. Porter, Ye Pu +3
We investigate analytically, numerically, and experimentally the modulational instability in a layered, cubically-nonlinear (Kerr) optical medium that consists of alternating layer…
Modulational instability in a layered Kerr medium: Theory and Experiment
Martin Centurion, Mason A. Porter, Ye Pu +3
We present the first experimental investigation of modulational instability in a layered Kerr medium. The particularly interesting and appealing feature of our configuration, consi…
Metaphoric optical computing of fluid dynamics
Mankei Tsang, Demetri Psaltis
We present theoretical and numerical evidence to show that self-defocusing nonlinear optical propagation can be used to compute Euler fluid dynamics and possibly Navier-Stokes flui…
Nonlinearity Management in Optics: Experiment, Theory, and Simulation
Martin Centurion, Mason A. Porter, P. G. Kevrekidis +1
We conduct an experimental investigation of nonlinearity management in optics using femtosecond pulses and layered Kerr media consisting of glass and air. By examining the propagat…
Propagation of temporal entanglement
Mankei Tsang, Demetri Psaltis
The equations that govern the temporal evolution of two photons in the Schr{ö}dinger picture are derived, taking into account the effects of loss, group-velocity dispersion, tempor…
Reflectionless evanescent-wave amplification by two dielectric planar waveguides
Mankei Tsang, Demetri Psaltis
Utilizing the underlying physics of evanescent wave amplification by a negative-refractive-index slab, it is shown that evanescent waves with specific spatial frequencies can also…
