Nonlinear Guided Waves and Their Applications

Transverse Response of Cavity Systems

Abstract

We show that plane-mirror optical cavities (linear and nonlinear) can convert spatially phase (amplitude) modulated input beams into amplitude (phase) modulated outputs. The effect occurs for only one sign of the effective cavity detuning.

Spatial response of cavity systems

We show that a plane-mirror Fabry-Perot cavity is capable of converting a spatially phase (amplitude) modulated input beam into an amplitude (phase) modulated output. For a cavity close to resonance the effect is most easily seen for negative detunings. When nonlinear elements are added to the mean-field cavity, the effect persists but acquires an intensity dependence, while the requirement of net negative dispersion remains. In addition, the output of a near-resonant nonlinear cavity can have the same type of modulation as the input, something which is impossible in the corresponding linear cavity. These results are demonstrated in cavities containing Kerr or two-level materials, as well as in optical parametric oscillators.

Transverse Optical Bistability and Instabilities

H. M. Gibbs, Matthew W. Derstine, Kuochou Tai +4 more

A transverse optical bistability would not occur with a plane-wave input; it is characterized by pronounced changes in transverse profiles, but not in total transmission.1 The systems studied here consist of a single feedback mirror and a nonlinear medium (Na vapor) sufficiently thin that diffraction is negligible during the nonlinear radially dependent phase encoding. With the input focused beyond (before) the Na and the mirror center of curvature on the input (output) side of the Na, self-defocusing (self-focusing) optical bistability is seen--but only when the feedback is nonconcentric, i.e., the feedback beam is displaced off-axis relative to the input beam. If cylindrical lenses are used to form an elongated focus in the Na, bistability is still seen. This suggests that one-transverse-dimension (ID) theories may be adequate to describe the system's steady-state and transient behavior. ID numerical simulations with nonconcentric feedback are under way.

Simultaneous vibrational resonance in the amplitude and phase quadratures of an optical field based on Kerr nonlinearity

Yinuo Wang, Shan Wu, Cuicui Li +3 more

Vibrational resonance (VR) is a nonlinear phenomenon in which the system response to a weak signal can be resonantly enhanced by applying a high-frequency modulation signal with an appropriate amplitude. The majority of VR research has focused on amplifying the amplitude or intensity of the system response to a weak signal, whereas the study of the phase information of system responses in VR remains limited. Here, we investigate the VR phenomena in both amplitude and phase quadratures of an optical field in a Kerr nonlinear cavity driven by a near-resonant weak signal and a far-detuned modulation signal. Analytical and numerical results demonstrated that the resonant enhancement in the amplitude and phase quadratures of the system response to a weak signal simultaneously occurs as the amplitude of the modulation signal is varied. There is a linear relation between the amplitude and frequency of the modulation signal for achieving an optimal VR effect. Furthermore, we generalized our study to investigate the quadrature at an arbitrary phase and determined that the VR enhancement sensitively depends on the phase. Our findings not only broaden the scope of VR research by incorporating phase information but also introduce an approach for amplifying an optical field by manipulating another optical field.
