Abstract

It is theoretically demonstrated that interband and Rabi soliton transitions are possible in waveguide arrays. Such transitions can take place in optical lattices when the cell is periodically modulated along the propagation direction.

We observe Rabi oscillations in one-dimensional waveguide arrays. Adiabatic transitions, both direct and indirect (phonon-assisted), between extended Floquet-Bloch modes associated with different bands are stimulated by index-gratings inducing periodic modulations along the propagation direction. © 2007 Optical Society of America.

Optical phase transitions and quantum walks in nonlinear waveguide arrays

We predict and demonstrate experimentally a phase transition associated with frequency mixing in arrays of quadratic waveguides, and reveal new features of quantum walks for photon pairs generated through spontaneous down-conversion inside the nonlinear array.

Experimental Observation of Rabi Oscillations in Photonic Lattices

K. V. Shandarova, Christian E. Rüter, Detlef Kip +4 more

We demonstrate spatial Rabi oscillations in optical waveguide arrays. Adiabatic transitions between extended Floquet-Bloch modes associated with different bands are stimulated by periodic modulation of the photonic lattice in the propagation direction. When the stimulating modulation also carries transverse momentum, the transition becomes indirect, equivalent to phonon-assisted Rabi oscillations. In solid state physics such indirect Rabi oscillations necessitate coherent phonons and hence they have never been observed. Our experiments suggest that phonon-assisted Rabi oscillations are observable also with Bose-Einstein condensates, as well as with other wave systems-where coherence can be maintained for at least one period of the Rabi oscillation.

Rabi oscillations of matter-wave solitons in optical lattices

Yu. V. Bludov, V. V. Konotop, Mario Salerno

Interband Rabi oscillations of gap-soliton matter waves induced by time-dependent periodic forces in combined linear and nonlinear optical lattices are demonstrated. It is shown that under suitable conditions, these oscillations can become long lived. By switching off the external force at proper time, it is possible to create either pure (stationary macroscopically populated) gap-soliton states or linear combination of two gap solitons with appreciably long lifetime.
