A Theory of Nested Cascading in Directed Logic

Ihar Babushkin, Oliver Melchert, Ayhan Demircan +1

In directed logic (DL), electronically controlled optical elements serve as photonic gates. Such electro-optical elements are of mixed nature: they have two inputs--electronic and…

Isotopic variations and Zeeman-like splitting in the spectra of nonlinear photonic meta-atoms

S. Zhang, I. Babushkin, U. Morgner +2

We study photonic meta-atoms, a unique class of composite solitary wave, supported in nonlinear waveguides. We establish an analogy to one-dimensional soft-core atoms, allowing to…

Photocurrent-induced harmonics in nanostructures

Ihar Babushkin, Anton Husakou, Liping Shi +3

Photocurrent-induced harmonics appear in gases and solids due to tunnel ionization of electrons in strong fields and subsequent acceleration. In contrast to three-step harmonic emi…

Universal properties of locally generated terahertz waveforms from polarization-controlled two- and multi-color ionizing fields

H. Alirezaee, S. Skupin, V. Vaicaitis +4

The polarization states of terahertz (THz) radiation generated in a photo-ionized gas driven by strong two- or multi-frequency fields with locally controlled polarization are studi…

Mathematical modeling and numerical multigoal-oriented a posteriori error control and adaptivity for a stationary, nonlinear, coupled flow temperature model with temperature dependent density

Sven Beuchler, Ayhan Demircan, Bernhard Endtmayer +2

In this work, we develop adaptive schemes using goal-oriented error control for a highly nonlinear flow temperature model with temperature dependent density. The dual-weighted resi…

Two-color pulse compounds in waveguides with a zero-nonlinearity point

O. Melchert, S. Bose, S. Willms +3

We study incoherently coupled two-frequency pulse compounds in waveguides with single zero-dispersion and zero-nonlinearity points. In such waveguides, supported by a negative nonl…

Wave-Shape-Tolerant Photonic Quantum Gates

Ihar Babushkin, Ayhan Demircan, Michael Kues +1

Photons, acting as ``flying qubits'' in propagation geometries such as waveguides, appear unavoidably in the form of wavepackets (pulses). The actual shape of the photonic wavepack…

Passive and hybrid mode locking in multi-section terahertz quantum cascade lasers

P. Tzenov, I. Babushkin, R. Arkhipov +4

It is believed that passive mode locking is virtually impossible in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) because of too fast carrier relaxation time. Here, we revisit this possibility and…
