Rigorous analysis of optical forces in dielectric structures based on the Minkowski-Helmholtz formula
Huizhong Ren, Haokun Luo, Mahmoud A. Selim +4
Optical forces in dielectric structures are typically analyzed by utilizing either the Maxwell stress tensor or energy-based methods from which they can be derived by means of the…
Statistical mechanics and pressure of composite multimoded weakly nonlinear optical systems
Nikolaos K. Efremidis, Demetrios N. Christodoulides
Statistical mechanics can provide a versatile theoretical framework for investigating the collective dynamics of weakly nonlinear waves-settings that can be utterly complex to desc…
Temporally and Longitudinally Tailored Dynamic Space-Time Wave Packets
Xinzhou Su, Kaiheng Zou, Huibin Zhou +10
In general, space-time wave packets with correlations between transverse spatial fields and temporal frequency spectra can lead to unique spatiotemporal dynamics, thus enabling con…
Spectral Speckle Customization
Nicholas Bender, Henry Haig, Demetrios N. Christodoulides +1
Speckle patterns are used in a broad range of applications including microscopy, imaging, and light-matter interactions. Tailoring speckles' statistics can dramatically enhance the…
Highly-Multimode Solitons in Step-Index Optical Fiber
Yuhang Wu, Nicholas Bender, Demetrios N. Christodoulides +1
We report the generation of multimode solitons in step-index fiber. The solitons are superpositions of 5-10 temporally-aligned transverse modes, they exhibit speckled beam profiles…
Thermalization of the Ablowitz-Ladik lattice in the presence of non-integrable perturbations
Mahmoud A. Selim, Georgios G. Pyrialakos, Fan O. Wu +4
We investigate the statistical mechanics of the photonic Ablowitz-Ladik lattice, the integrable version of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation. In this regard, we demonstra…
