Inverse reconstruction of dissipative Kerr soliton interactions
Carlo Silvestri, Panayotis G. Kevrekidis, Stephane Coen +2
We reconstruct the pairwise interaction potential between dissipative Kerr solitons from the linear stability spectrum of a perfect soliton crystal solution of the Lugiato--Lefever…
Soliton crystal formation in Kerr cavities with an avoided mode crossing: a theoretical study
Carlo Silvestri, Caitlin E. Murray, Chawaphon Prayoonyong +4
We theoretically and numerically investigate the formation of soliton crystals in Kerr microresonators in the presence of an avoided mode crossing (AMX). Our study combines dynamic…
Asymptotic stability of laser-driven lightsails: Enhancement by optical dispersion engineering in gratings
Jadon Y. Lin, Liam van Ravenstein, C. Martijn de Sterke +3
Lightsails are promising spacecraft that can traverse interstellar distances within decades via radiation-pressure propulsion from high-power lasers. The envisioned missions crucia…
Broadband terahertz near-field excitation and detection of silicon photonic crystal modes
Kseniia Lezhennikova, Sahand Mahmoodian, Boris T. Kuhlmey +4
Chip-based terahertz (THz) devices are emerging as versatile tools for manipulating mm-wave frequencies in the context of integrated high-speed communication technologies for poten…
Modal formulation for diffraction by absorbing photonic crystal slabs
Kokou B. Dossou, Lindsay C. Botten, Ara A. Asatryan +5
A finite element-based modal formulation of diffraction of a plane wave by an absorbing photonic crystal slab of arbitrary geometry is developed for photovoltaic applications. The…
Slow light with flat or offset band edges in multi-mode fiber with two gratings
Andrey A. Sukhorukov, C. J. Handmer, C. Martijn de Sterke +1
We consider mode coupling in multimode optical fibers using either two Bragg gratings or a Bragg grating and a long-period grating. We show that the magnitude of the band edge curv…
